Here's what Missy had to say about her bears: These little bears are really super easy and fun to make. Mohair can be really super expensive, so if you want to make them, but don't want to use mohair, use wool felt (the good stuff... it's worth it.) fleece, or calico cottons... even gingham would be adorable! I jokingly call these little guys really expensive dog toys... because that is what they remind me of... but seriously tho... they just add the perfect touch of whimsy to a shelf!

I Decided to Move My "Get To Know The Artist/Crafter Series" and Here's Why!

A few months ago I started a series on my "The Best FREE Craft Articles" blog entitled: Get To Know The Artist/Crafter Series. My intention was to ask some of the artists and crafters who had been offering FREE items on their websites some questions about their creations.

Well, I decided that I should move that series over to my "I Love Crafts and Craft Blogs" so that all crafters and artists could be included, not just those offering FREE items.

The first crafter I interviewed was Sherry Marrero of AnniesCupboards.com who is an amazing primitive folk artist and who makes the most adorable dolls and doll patterns.

I thought you might enjoy reading that interview so I'm re-posting it over on my "I Love Crafts and Craft Blogs" as the 1st interview for the "Get To Know The Artist/Crafter Series" on my "I Love Crafts and Craft Blogs" blog. My series will run over there from now on.

I hope you would all agree that expanding my series to include all artists/crafters was better.
