For many years I was a shopping tour hostess, taking busloads of ladies on shopping trips around the factory outlets in Melbourne. We often went to a gift-ware importer and every time we visited I bought one of these little Colourbox Teddies. They are so tiny and are hand painted. This week I thought this little sailor could come on the picnic. With the amount of rain we have had there are lots of puddles around for him to sail his little boat.

Little sailor bear is so cute and so tiny. I hope he doesn't get too muddy in all the puddles.That would have been a very dangerous job seeing all those goodies all the time.

Hi Mel. Oooo I love all of those patterns but especially the crocheted frogs. I'm going to give one a go tonight. Your little paintbox Teddy is so tiny and very cute. So much detail too, just wonderful. Have a lovely Thursday and let's make the most of this delightful warm sunshine today. I have to quilt but will be taking lots of tea breaks to sit outside!
