I have never really thought about wanting to make any crochet toy/animals before........but I came across this book whilst browsing Amazon a few weeks ago, and it caught my eye.

I couldn't resist giving it a go. The book is lovely. It's quirky. It's me. This book gives these cats such a personality! They have an abundance of character which was what drew me to them.

I made Betsy first, as a test run and loved her so much immediately. Trouble was, the Bears love her as much, if not more!!!!! She did look really lonely though..........so along came Frank to keep her company.

Betsy came with us on our hols. She enjoyed playing with Baby Bear. She played Hide and seek.......

and got a bit stroppy when the game was over and she wanted to play more!!!

She enjoyed lazing in the afternoon sun............

And when it all got a bit much, she was found in the shade watching the fish and getting hungry!

Betsy is definitely the more outgoing........she loves adventure............

It is Frank........

The younger brother, who is the quiet one. He just likes his Strawberry!

They are happy to know that some more of their friends will be on their way soon to say hello and make playtimes REALLY FUN!!!!!!!

'So....what shall we do now?'

'Ahhhhhhh good choice!!!!!!!!'

'Okay Betsy....enough lounging I want to play....come on.....get up!!!!!!'

"My turn to count....."

"Look harder........."

"You went off and left me, I was up there for ages........"

'Don't leave me....play with me some more?'

'Love you Brother....'

'Love you big sis'......'

Forever Friends

Time for bed...

Night Night........

It was good for the Bears to play with them as I saw what worked and what needed adjusting to make them better. I am amazed how much Baby Bear has taken to them. There has always been an array of soft toys in the house (I have a real soft spot for Jelly Cat), but the Bears have never really bothered with them. Frank and Betsy seem to go everywhere with Baby Bear, it's really rather cute! I am really glad that they are getting used and loved. I just am so in love with these guys myself, will have to make another one just for me! Even the eldest Bear has asked for one to be made for him and he's 11! That made me laugh, but I loved that he wanted one, so one will be made up in the colour of his choice! 

I think I could quite easily become addicted to making these.............
