Just sitting waiting to go to the picnic


Here is a Melody pattern bear that I made ages ago, so long ago I can't remember her name... so help me out here Mel. She is just sitting patiently for me to take her to the picnic and as I have worked this morning I'm a bit late so I hope you saved some food. I love the fact that she turned out just the way the pattern said she should and my Sweet Sherry sits on her lap most days. Thanks for the pattern Mel and the picnic.

I also got a lovely postcard in the mail today that I tried to take a photo of but it just wouldn't come out. Anyway, it's from Andi and she bought it at a flea market in England.It's a picture of Hampstead, the home of Keats and on the back it reads" 29, Carlingford Rd N.W 3, Dear Baalamb,
Will you bring your C book with you on Sunday, will explain when I see you. What lovely weather while we were in Derbyshire. Yours May" The address is Mrs Balaam, 87,Barnsbury St, Liverpool? London ( in pencil) N1 I can't see a date but the stamps are 2x1d and probably King George on them. Thank you Andi ,it's fantastic but I so want to know what a C book is and why May wants her to bring it. Intriguing!

  2. Hi Elizabeth, Thanks so much for coming on the picnic and bringing your sweet bear with you. It's been so long since I designed bears that I can't remember her name either. Could be Alice?
    See you Saturday.

  4. She is lovely and will have other oldies to talk to today. Some girls just don't show their age do they.

  6. Hi Elizabeth. The last couple of weeks I have tried to reply to your comments but they keep bouncing back to me as undelivered. Not sure why but thought I would let you know. Cheers, Karen.
