I was in the mood to crochet over the last several days, especially while weathering out the storms inside. I pulled out this book because it's always great for a refresher on hooking, and it has Camille Engman's pattern for her bears. Of course mine always look like mice... don't ask me why. I got the one on the left done and was ready to start on the arms and legs, but I just didn't like him... poor thing. His body was sort of weird anyways and I just couldn't bring myself to finish him. While pulling out yarns, I also found the one on the right in the back of my yarn shelf! He had a leg and an arm started but obviously this never materialized. Maybe this is why I favor kokeshis. Appendages bore me. (Do not analyze this because there is no meaning to it!). The only productive thing that I actually accomplished was coming up with my own little crocheted cat toy which Chloe absolutely loves. I have an idea for a shop theme on etsy... I started to set up my shop. I just have to figure out exactly how to go about it. But after the failure at the crocheted bear, I'm not feeling too good about my ability to create anything. I was thinking of taking a break and just doing a blanket (my wishful hoping for cooler temps soon). Creativity just comes and goes, like these continually passing storms! Hopefully there will be a little sunshine in the studio soon!

we have no appendages

Put the ears a little bit higher on their heads and they'll look more like bears :) Poor things. They at least need arms.
I feel the ebb and flow too. Intrigued by your blanket project...
Poor things, no arms or legs. At least they have cute ears!
