Five years ago we moved back to Canada from Florida. While in the sunny south most of my crochet was influenced by the weather and the beach. During that time, I was exploring amigurumi (the Japanese art of crocheting and knitting stuffed animals) and I made everything from crocheted mermaids and seashells to pink flamingos.
This Beach Bear was one of my favourite creations.
She was a joy to make, along with all her little accessories! Some day I will make her a playmate. If you are interested in making your own, the pattern can be found here
Hopefully I will get back to work on my tartan this week and have an update for you the following. Happy #NeedleworkMonday everyone!
Welcome home...I think? It must be very different being back. Are you enjoying it? Your beach bear is so cute! Thanks for sharing the pattern link.

Thank you! Yes it is great to be back in Nova Scotia. Florida was nice, but I prefer the changing seasons...snow and all! 😀

Hello @anise how are you ?. Wow, how beautiful is the teddy bear, I really am very perfect, you look like a professional. Who would think that with thread and needle you were going to do something so beautiful and tender. I really am very nice, I hope you can do more and share with us. I congratulate you, good job.

OMG! That is too stinking adorable. I can't handle it! I so badly need someone to teach me how to crochet so I can make adorable things like this and fill my house with them!! Thanks for sharing. :)

She's so cute! I'm curious, how long did it take you to make the little beach bear and all the accessories?

Thank you! I'm guessing about 3 days. But I take lots of breaks. 😉 Once I get going on something I have to finish it fast to see how it comes out. Then into the box with the rest!

I also love amigurumi @anise ! When I saw your beach bear I thought 'this bear needs a filet crochet prom dress or a tartan kilt' 😍

Thank you! That is a great idea! I think I once put beans in a doll but I was concerned about it being washable. Pellets would be better.

So cuuute! The fish - uhhh - I need this tiny smiling fish. How can you make something so cute? 😍😍
I love amigurumi, but I do not like to make them, it's to fiddly for me (you would never have guessed this 😉)
Thank you for this lovely bear (and fish)

I don't mind fiddly stuff! I actually find it calms me. But I was not always so patient. Maybe one becomes more tolerant as they age?
