How to Make a Keepsake Bear

My craft room – my creative space.

We dressed as princesses for the PE with Joe yeste

We dressed as princesses for the PE with Joe yesterday. Exercising in a long frilly dress in hard!! 🤣
.
We have been trying to book builders to finish our garage conversion as soon as the Coronavirus lockdown finishes. And it's really worrying not knowing when the builders will start working again, and not knowing if they will remember we have asked, so we could be waiting for their call and they have moved on to someone else's job. 😩
.
And i thought, it must be like that for people who want to book in with me for a keepsake. How will future customers know when my books reopen?
.
And how will they know if they have asked me to book them in that I will remember them, or know where they are in the queue... 🤷‍♀️
.
So, I have launched a waiting list. For a £5 deposit (that will come off your keepsake price) you'll have a numbered slot on my waiting list. .
💖 So when all this craziness is over, you will know I will be ready and waiting to make your beautiful keepsake from your precious clothing full of memories 💖
.
Thankyou to lovely @elegant_lou
for pushing my brain into action too

As you probably know I'm not taking any keepsake orders until this crisis is over. But I'm going to use my time to design some new patterns. There's a 🐱 and a 🐲 in progress already.

What are you up to? Our only plan for today is @thebodycoach .Anyone else tried Joe's PE and used muscles they never knew they had?

How are you all doing? I've been enjoying the fact that my daughter Evie is old enough to understand that everything is closed. No nagging! The peace is wonderful .
But I know some people are really struggling with the isolation and boredom and losing their jobs 💔
.
How are you doing?

This bear is so pretty I've broken my 3 pics of each keepsake rule 😁

Today we are having a nail salon day. Evie got so absorbed in painting patterns on my toe nails she didn't believe me when I said it was lunchtime 🤣

What are you doing today?

.
She was born after years and years of waiting for her. And wanting to spend more time with her gave me the push to work on my biz fulltime (during 'normal' school hours 🤣)
.
At the mo our plan is spend time together during the day and i work every evening. I'm just finishing the keepsakes that my lovely customers have already sent me the clothes for. And then I'm going to start creating new sewing patterns to sell.
.
We are off to do some more trampolining - I'll be fit by the end of this lockdown (we already did the Joe Wicks PE today!)

Swipe right for proof - if you needed it - that a smile makes everything look better.

This is tough at the moment, and will get tougher. We are all missing our friends. But the help we have had from others in our isolation has been wonderful. .
I set up a neighbourhood community group last week. Before we realised we would have to self isolate due to my husband's health. ,
And then through the group a neighbour who I have never met in real life (!) dropped me off shower gel and soap yesterday. .
What a hero 💖
.
What lovely acts of kindness have you seen?

The side view of this beautiful bear. I'm not taking any more orders for the time being, but I'm going to keep showing up and showing you gorgeous pictures 😍
.
And we all need pretty things to look at right?
.
If you swipe right you'll see a fab game we played yesterday. Evie and I even got her slightly grumpy daddy to join in!!! It's from @megantuckerillustration .
🌼 She's doing a weekly art challenge, to keep us all sane during the craziness. Check out her page for info and share using #mtiartclub . We totally RECOMMEND 🌼

So today is the first day of home schooling. I had assumed we would log in to the school's system and there would be a bunch of work sheets available. But no🤦‍♀️ We've got into Twinkl and printed a maths sheet off. And that's as far as we've got!
.
We have done A LOT of trampolining tho 😂 How's your day going @spotted.octopus @a1meefraser @hello_kerrin_bee ?
