Pink Boo Bears

I have been busy making Boo Bears using pink yarn from my stash. So far I have made a total of four. Four Pink Boo Bears each with a unique look and character created using different types of pink yarn.

I usually start with the head then make a hood to fit. Next I make and attach the ears before adding a face. I prefer to keep the face simple stitching two black eyes plus a nose and sometimes eyelids. From there I make the legs and body followed by two arms and a tail. 

This Pink Boo Bear posed before and after joining. I love how the final assembly creates a new little Boo Bear ready and waiting to be cuddled. 

The next Boo Bear was made using slightly thicker yarn so is bigger than the rest. Also this Boo Bear's arms are a slightly different shade of pink. Working with yarn from my stash often requires improvisation.

So far I have finished four Pink Boo Bears. Two tall dark Pink Boo Bears and two small light Pink Boo Bears. The bigger bears were made with chunky yarns and the smaller bears with fine fuzzy yarn. 

All four of my Pink Boo Bears had fun posing together for these photos. 

 

 

Each Pink Boo Bear looks a little bit different yet still completely cute.

Pretty in Pink

My husband has been busy this week. He spent hours fixing up my Devinci after it was messed up by thieves. Then he spent more time fixing up my oldest bike, so I can ride it to work. I took it for a test ride in the park this afternoon and I like it. 

It's light and fast and handles fairly well with the new straight bars. This was my first proper road bike - a pink and white Gardin with blue accents bought in 1986. I used to wear matching pink, white and blue cycling shorts and jersey. Can you picture it? Too bad they wore out long ago. 

I hope this bike is less appealing to thieves. Although, now that I see it, I'm not so sure. I think it's Pretty in Pink with a cool retro vibe.

You know what I really hope? I really hope I can lock it inside. That is probably the only way to keep it truly safe at work.

If you missed it, you can read all about my better bike being stolen here.
