~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~!

Erik: Dolly Phantom

     Entirely customized by me. He is on display in my room~!

                                                  Just thought I'd share my handiwork. XD  

Navir Mask

   With my last check, I went to hobby lobby and bought lots of crafting junk I didn't really need. Amongst said pile of junk was an awesome blank white mask, which was just freaky / weird enough to catch my attention. I love masks, especially when they are blank and you get to decorate them yourself~! (a childish thought perhaps, but it really IS fun.)


   Before....

   After...

    Doesn't it look like it leads a much more exciting life now? Such INTRIGUE~!!!
This mask is simply called "Navir". I plan on purchasing more of these masks in the future. Hobby Lobby even has cute (?) miniature ones~! :D

...and yes, I CAN sleep at night with this hanging above my bed, thank you very much. :P
