Teddy Bear's Picnic and Friends with Benefits!

It's the Teddy Bear's Picnic today and I'm joining Melody and her friends.

As it's a bit overcast today and the sun isn't out, Ma Possum and her baby have come along. They don't normally come out during the day but they begged me to take them! Ma Possum and her baby came to live with me when I turned 21. They've brought some Anzac biscuits to share with all the other picnickers. Won't you join us!

I've signed up for Kathy's Friends with Benefits swap. My partner is Cheryll of Gone Stitchin'. Poor Cheryll was a little disappointed that I hadn't shown any sneak peeks of the special project I am making for her. Being the nice person I am, here are some photos just for Cheryll!

I may or may not have taken some fabric from this pile!

And I may or may not have used some of these embroidery threads!

This is my favourite spot for sitting and stitching. Can you see that box on the table Cheryll? Your project just may or may not be in there!

Or it could be in the lovely bag Peg made me. No wait, it could be in my new sewing case! It definitely isn't in the bag with my Tis The Season stitcheries, so you don't have to worry about that bag!

 

I may or may not have spent some time here too!

Tonight is my quilting Guild's meeting and I just may or may not work on your project! I hope this post has helped cheer you up and you now have a big smile on your face! hehehe!

Hugs, Christine xx

Teddy Bear's Picnic!

I'm joining Melody today at the Teddy Bear's Picnic. I've brought along my very first teddy! He is over 48 years young. Teddy used to go everywhere with me. He even spent a couple of weeks in hospital when I had an operation when I was one.

As you can see, he is very well loved. In fact he is so well loved he is slowly disintegrating! There is only the tiniest bit of fur in the folds of his ears. He still has his eyes and half a smile. His arms and legs are half the size they were originally and he has a big hole in his stomach. You can see how thread bear he is on his face. Many, many years ago, our next door neighbour made him his little jump suit to help hold him together. Even that is falling apart! His insides are a sort of foam, again slowly disintegrating.

A certain older person in the household once told me to throw him out! I let him know that that is never going to happen! At least not in my lifetime!
