Bears friends forever!

Who wouldn't love a bear?

It started off with the bears I made for my eldest son, Constantine's friends as a graduation present (you may refer my post in year 2012). Then Christopher, my younger son wanted an Orange bear, so I made him 1. And then Constantine wanted a green bear of a bigger size. Seeing his brother got a bigger bear, Christopher wants another Orange bear of the same big size as the brother's.

After I completed the green bear & the orange bear, I started to crochet 2 bears for my girl, Annabelle (latest addition to the family). I chose Purple & Maroon. I also added bells in the bears.

Seeing the little sister got 2 bears, the boys also wanted 2 bears each. So, I have to make a brown bear for Constantine & blue bear for Christopher.

Then I continued to make 1 red bear & 1 peach bear for my cousins' daughter. 

So now, I have a group of bears in the house...each of them is about 13cm tall...

The bears are also available on FB fan page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Designed-With-Passion/172538912806601.

Don't you just love'em?

Constantine's Graduation Gifts for his Teachers & Friends

This is the final year of pre-school for Constantine. Next year, he will be in Primary school. I have been thinking hard for about 6 months on the gifts. I want it to be something memorable & of course, lasts long...

Finally, I've decided to crochet again. And, this time, I'll crochet something especially for graduation. I wanted to do something cute, wearing a mortar board. So, I decided to do bear. It's cute & it's not that difficult to do. Just that I need to make sure it is unique enough for everyone. All in All, I've made 27 bears in 4 days.

First, I have to decide on the colors. Most of Constantine's friends are girls. So, I used many shades of Pink, Peach, Yellow & Orange.

And, this is for the boys...Blue, Green & Brown...

Let's have a group photo, everyone...

I also made one set without the mortar board for the teachers...

Hope their new owners love them!
