Easter parade with Lily the bear









Please come along with Lily to the Easter parade... She has her bonnet, do you have yours?

I have been working on Lily in the evenings, as my days have been packed with projects around the house... She has made it in time for the Easter parade..

Lily is a needle felted miniature bear, needled with brown merino wool into a sitting position... She is very tiny, don't know what I was thinking working that small. She sits just under 2"... I have fashioned her two hats and a lace skirt.. She is now available on Ebay if you would like to visit her auction.

Grab your Easter bonnet and meet us at the parade!

Love and blessings on this fine day

Penny

  11. OH MY SWEET PENNY! Tea Rat LOVES the idea of putting bows on his boots; that will FOR SURE match his Easter bonnet that he has chosen....teeeeheeeee...Rattus is NOT amused; he is such a stick in the mud! But not Tea. He will parade with Lily and be proud to be seen with such a grand bear!!! Oh, you always inspire me! HEY...I took off POLYGLOT from Nowhere and WITSEND...I will tell you why later...HAVE A GRAND DAY DEAREST!!!! Anita

    Hi Leny
    So nice to see you here.. Thank you for your kind words.
    Blessings,
    Penny

    Dearest Anita!

    I thought Tea RAT would go for that idea! Oh.. you know Rattus... he has his own mind about things of this nature.. Lily would LOVE to go to the Easter Parade with TEA RAT...
    So sorry about Polyglot... Read your email...I understand.
    Enjoy your evening dear friend.
    BISOUS!

  15. Oh Penny Sweetie...
    I can't believe it, now you have made a precious little bear. How sweet she is in her Easter bonnet and finest laces. So priceless. You do the most exquisite work I have ever seen. I so enjoy seeing the treasures that you bring about with your needle felted wool.

    I love my precious little mouse. Each day she brings many a smile to my face as I walk past her inside her cloche. She is SO happy there.

    I hope you are well sweet one. I am sending many hugs and SO much love to you. All my love, Sherry

  23. Dear Penny,
    Lily is very cute. TeaRat is a might jealous at so much cuteness that Rattus is having to lift up his self esteem every few minutes with words like: "You look smashing old boy," and "God broke the rat mold when he made you."

    Ruben
    PS, that you for you visit and kind words on my blog, Penny. I am writing for the purposes of getting these ideas published. I will let everyone know.

    Your friend,
    Ruben

  24. Dear Ruben
    You have made my day with your visit and kind words. Well....If that does not cheer TeaRat up, nothing will. I laughed myself silly!
    I would love to see your words published Ruben.
    Blessings my friend, and thank you.

  25. Teeeeheeee! Tea Rat, that old fool is always fishing for a complement! He adores Lily, and is dying to strut down the Easter Lane Parade with her. He fell asleep last night, however, as he was preparing his bonnet. BUT! Today we have a lightening and thunderstorm going on and I AM staying in. I will prepare Tea Rat's bonnet and get it posted TOUT DE SUITE! Thank you precious one for visiting me last night....JUNE! THAT'S RIGHT!!!!! GOOD...hey, we are not too far in age my friend....you were probably in fourth grade when I was born...I am following you Penny, very closely!! Oh I just love Lily...I chuckled again this moment when I saw her!

    LOVE TO YOU THIS DAY! Anita

  28. Teee heee! YOU SAW TEA RAT! Oh that clown; Rattus is worried about him, but you know how Tea loves to yank Rattus' chain! Rattus is questioning Tea's "orientation"....but Tea is as masculine as can be!!!

  29. YES Anita, he is such a clown, but a DAPPER one! Those two are such a HOOT!
