I love my little sister very much, and she became even more precious to me when our big sister died at a young age. We have lots of things in common, we have the same sense of humour, we can drink our brothers under the table and we both love and married sane, sensible men ( we like to call them the Fun Police ).
However, there are times when I wonder how we could possibly be related. For a start, she is very intelligent - she's a scientist, she's tried to explain to me what she does but none of it goes in.
She is also very organised and she does not leave everything to the last minute, unlike yours truly.
What really shocked me whilst visiting her though, was the fact that she only has one reel of cotton in the whole house !! and it's grey !!!, - she say's that's the most useful colour for mending.
Yeegads, What planet is SHE from ?
Here's tiny Ted and Ernie, two little teddies made for my little nephew Harvey
This was the closest we got to a picnic, British summer = torrential rain.
If you haven't seen it already, have a look at the JCB song, she talks about, it's very lovely.
Wow, you blogged about ME! I feel famous. Mustn't let it go to my head. Maybe for just a second.... It is true about the thread. I am a bad person. I shall repent.

I think I'm actually crying with happiness! That is the most amazing website, I can't wait until my 5 year old wakes up to show him, everything about it, the animation, the music, the sentiment...must stop gushing...Thankyou!
Your tiny bear is beautiful, and as for the sewing gene missing a sibling, you must have got her share too! (I have been told a story by one of the RN's at work that she has hemmed her nylon curtains with sandwich ties, you know the white ones with the wire in the middle? So, at least your sis has thread in the house!)

That bear picnic set is amazing. Just amazing. I want one.

Exquisite. I don't know how you do it. You have a great gift.
Aren't sisters terrific? I love mine, high maintenance pains in the next though they can be.

The little bear picnic set is absolutely darling. you're ever so clever! I've been ready your blog just a week or so, but I'm bowled over by the cuteness of your creations! <3

Oh how sweet. Good sister and auntie!

Hello! What an amazing little presentation of cuteness.
My sis is quite crafty (she has way more thread than me), and I love sharing that interest with her, but, truly, it's our sense of humor (and our shared history) that brings us together and makes our relationship so strong. I wouldn't trade my ability to give her a sideways glance and have her totally GET my meaning for anything.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek! The cuteness! The detail! Fabulous!

What a sweet bee! and it matches my new bee socks perfectly. You can just tell it's summer when even the blogs fill with bees :)
Thanks for the nice comment on my blog, too! I must remember to add you to the "blogs I read" list. I've been a regular for quite a while now...

Love the bears! Love the bee! Just wanted to echo the other comments already - simply brilliant. :)

That is so sweet - the little bee is such a lovely touch. The details make your work so loveable.
