Once a month our local walking group do an extra walk somewhere out of the area. Today was the second one I have been on and I enjoyed it very much.
The track started through woods on what was originally an old railway line but has long since been out of use.
The weather stayed dry all day which was good even though it was overcast
We enjoyed some good chit chat.
Admired some of the marvellous wood carvings. This one has been turned into a fabulous seat.
We stopped for lunch and I got home just before 3 pm I guess, so was out quite a few hours.
Yesterday I made a bear. He was originally going to be a prototype or practice bear as I wasn't sure how he would turn out.
He has very long arms so he can cross them if he likes.
He is a blatant copy of a bear I have admired but can't afford to buy myself.
I have to say I am really pleased with how he turned out as I don't usually draw up my own patterns.
I love his little face.
I love his little face.
He has a pair of shorts...again a prototype...I have since found him a cardigan to wear that I made some time ago and crocheted a quick scarf for him.
It is not such a bright green as it appears in this photo which I took with my phone, but slightly more khaki in colour. The clothes will do until I can make some more suitable ones for him.
It's always nice to visit different places and those woods look ideal for an enjoyable walk.
ReplyDeleteLove your quirky bear. He'd be a keeper for me too.
A very smart bear!
ReplyDeleteGood to do new walks in company
Love the bear too. Your animals are so cute. Do you sell them?
ReplyDeleteI like walks like this, the leaves crunching under the feet.
ReplyDeleteWell I admire your creative sewing ability I really do.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful walk and I love the new bear.
