Teddy Bear Valentine

After a long, long trip, so long I had given it up for lost, the Valentine I made for the EMS Valentine Card exchange finally arrived at its destination in Canada for Bea. I picked a cute teddy bear monochrome heart design from Aurelle, stitched over-one on off-white Monaco. I was so happy that it exactly fit the opening of my heart cookie cutter. Then I found a number of little crocheted teddy bear patterns on the web and ended up using a touch of each to make the funky little bear. I guess he's a polar bear. White was the only color of crochet thread I had that made any sense to use on this card. I couldn't find any kind of brown or tan in the stores.

    Looks great! I love that design and the colors you chose. Over one stitching always looks so great.

    What a cute little Valentine's card, Annie--the crocheted bear really makes it special.

    Mail to Canada does seem especially slow--I mailed two packages over 10 days ago and neither has reached its destination...
