Please meet Olivia the bear

Am I a little different? Yes.

This only makes me special......

Large nose.... Better to smell with......

Tiny front paws.... Better to get into small places
 for special treats I find along the way.

Even a Bear needs a hat for special occasions, don't you think?
 
 
 
 
 



Olivia was needle felted in Mario sheep wool..   She is an odd little one, but I feel this gives  her personality and charm.  She is 5 1/2 inches tall in her seated position,  6 inches with her hat.
I gave her black glass bead eyes, a hand painted metal charm, and must not forget her rose petal hat from my garden.. 
She is available on Ebay 
Thank you so much for taking time to wander over and say hello to Olivia.

  1. Penny,
    Olivia is darling. Her large nose, small paws, and rose hat make her different, indeed......and special. I just love her. And you won Anita's tea set! It reminds me of the tea set that my mom used to have, and when she passed away, it was handed down to my sister. I remember cleaning it sometimes when I was young. I'm so glad you received the tea set, Penny. It is something you will treasure always.

    I love that Olivia's hat is made from the rose petals from your garden. She is one of my favorite creations of yours for sure.

    love,
    ~Sheri

  5. Penny, I think she is absolutely beautiful! The rose on her hat makes her very feminine and together with the wonderful rose charm around her neck, she is a lady with style and looks sweet to me ;)!
    Congratulations with Olivia, she is a real treasure.
    I wish you a nice weekend.

  6. It took me a while to get here; a bear should understand my situation because when dinner is ready to be set on the table, IT MUST BE SET ON THE TABLE! And here at Rabbit Hill, Rattus was hungry and I had to serve up! But here I am, enchanted, SURPRISED and delighted to see little Olivia, whose sweet nose is perfect for sniffing out the sweetest honey, the ripest berries and who is a girl of FASHION! I LOVE her little necklace and hat! Penny, I adore her! I suppose we all could learn how to weave wool into a shape. But very few can weave CUTE and personality, and that is what you do. You might as well put wings on this bear, because SHE IS FLYING out of your shop, that is for sure!!!!!!!!!!

    You rock.

  9. Penny,
    I'm exhausted from yesterday (memorial) but it was joyful and dinner was fun.
    Olivia looks a little melancholy to me, which instantly gives her endearment. Odd ... NOPE, Olivia is a bear I adore. Love your dried rose hat.

    Penny, congratulations on winning the tea service it is a beauty. I'm sure Bebe will enjoy sipping tea and think about thoughts of Tuscany.

    Also thank you for your visit to my memories post. Your words are always kind and deeply appreciated by me.
    XOXO,
    Vera

  15. I think that just like with pets, bears are most lovely when they are not perfect, but have personality.

  17. For some reason, I want to call her Boo Boo Bear.. she just looks a Boo Boo Bear to me! Maybe it is that wide nose and biggish head. I think she is very unique and adorable Penny. Love ya! Jeri

    Her eyes are so soulful, she reminds me of my, sweet as pie puppies that just left for their wonderful forever homes ( already I miss them so ) .She has that same sweetness to her . Very touching she is and I always love ~ different.
    Once again you have made a splendid and lovely creation that touches my heart. Big bear hug to you and sweet Olivia :)

  19. Olivia is adorable, Penny! I always choose the most unusual in a litter, don't you? Character, I've always thought. Love the rose hat.

  20. I love Olivia's oddness, there is something about her that I cannot put my finger on that makes me want to stair into her eyes :)
    Her paw like feet so sure footed and of course she would have to have her floral colored hat how would we know she was an Olivia and not an Oliver ?
    Oooops did I inspire a companion for her?

    Penny, where do you come up with such inspiration?

    See you soon dear one, I hope August finds you well, and inspired to the fullest.

    Xx
