Marissa's Story

   Marissa is an adventurous girl.

Every morning she enjoys a walk through her grandmother's garden. She talks to all of the pixies and gnomes, telling them her wonderful little tall tales. When it rains, she goes to the river and watches the fish jump. She imagines each has a little house and family under the water, and when she gets home she draws them in one of her many sketchbooks.

       Her grandmother can hardly keep up with her! A sweeter, brighter girl it would be difficult to find. Marissa hopes one day she can be just like her grandma. A great cook, a lovely housewife and an artist~!

   Just some thoughts about my newest dollie~! Hope you enjoyed~<3

~Getting Back In The Game~

~Hey there my plush loving pals~

   It's tough getting my shop stocked up again after such a long hiatus..I'm not as fast at crocheting as I was! But I have managed to whip up a few projects, and am now on a schedule to get my plushies out in a more timely manner~Here's a little of what I've been working on..

~Of course the classic bearling~

    I'm really trying to restock fast, but with just a few months til the holidays I think I may have started a bit late..heh..^^'

   Anyhoo, I think my next course of action is toget this blog redesigned...It's looked the same way for about 2-3 years~! Hard to believe really. I would be really interested in hearing opinions on what I should focus on posting about. I'd love your opinion!
 Tutorials? Should I focus more on patterns and the maker side of things?
More business oriented? ie. shop updates, coupon codes and giveaways.
Personal stuff? Believe me, I can take LOTS of pictures of my doll collection~! XD

Let me know what you all think~! Until next time~

The Bearlings Are Back, And So Am I! (Finally)

 Hi all! Brea here. Now I know it's been a reeeeaaallllyyyyy long time since I've posted, and I apologize for that. The last few years I've really been on a crafting hiatus. I got a little older, started working more and got a car..I just didn't see a place for crafting in my daily life. But alas, now at almost 19 years old, I am back on the crochet scene!
    I'm really kind of disappointed in myself for stopping when I did. I had been featured on several other crafting blogs, and was starting to become more active in the doll making community..but I just..got bored. I've decided that I really want to crochet again, however, and have already made a few new dollies and posted them up on my now active Etsy store. I'm not sure how often I'm going to post (I may come up with a schedule later on) but I will try (God Willing) to put something up at least once a month or so.
  Also, shameless plug here, I started an Instagram for my store! It's @crochetbestfriends if you'd like to take a look. I'm going to try contests and stuff when I get some more followers so check it out if you are interested~!

   Alright, enough stalling, this is the only reason you clicked into this post anyway..THE BEARLING PATTERN!!

 I have gotten SOOOOO many comments and emails about this pattern no longer being available. I know guys..I know. I'm a lousy person and the pattern went offline and I thought I had lost it..I didn't really look. Yes, I did find it on a very old flash drive.

HERE it is!

Random Post: Poetry

Ever since my cousin Cedar started a writing blog, I've been in a "poet" mood. Last night Instead of reading, I sat in my bed and wrote poetry and short little stories. It was really fun~! :D
Here are a few of the things I wrote.

Rapunzel
The first time our eyes met,
It felt like lightning,
And a flood,
And a hurricane.
I was all alone,
And far out of reach,
But you stood below my high window,
And sang songs of springtime.


I'm 16
"Get a diary and write down your feelings."
How can I possibly write
What I don't understand?

I specialize in poetry that doesn't rhyme. Lol XD
Thanks for the inspiration Cedar~!
