A change from pastels

My latest little bear Giselle is now listed on e-bay. As most of my blog followers will know I favour pastel colours for my bears and their clothing. This little girl is something very different, her dress has red rosebuds and I have made her jacket from deep blue fabric embroidering the little rosebuds to match her dress. Not sure if it is quite my style but it is certainly something new for a change.

Still not sure if we have nesting birds in the little wooden house. I have noticed that a pair of birds have been carefully removing all the fibre from the liners of my hanging baskets so perhaps they are resident in the box. We have a blackbird in the garden who is extremely territorial and chases some of the smaller birds away. I spotted him sitting on top of the nesting box trying to put his head into the tiny little opening. Fortunately he is too big but here's hoping he has not upset the birds inside.
Back to work more bears to complete ..........
