In my creative space today I’m finishing up the details on a few gifts.
First up is this little teddy bear for my friend Lisa, who is expecting a baby any day now. Lisa is all about cute crochet stuffies, so I figured an amigurumi bear would be perfect.

I’ve been checking out Kootoyoo’s Creative Space for a few weeks and today I’m finally playing along. My creative space is my sewing room, pressing and stitching linen and cotton gifts that need to be finished soon!
