The Little Bear that Could



There was a little bear who wanted to fly
over the village and high up the sky;
Mama bear said: son, if you believe
there really is nothing that you can't achieve



Featured: WIP embroidery inspired by a story book

This is a very cute embroidery and sweet poem!

Ellie Foster said...

Dear Amalia
Your embroidery is stunning. I agree about 'Persuasion' - it is my favourite Jane Austen book too. I like the 1995 BBC adaptation with Amanda Root as Anne too.
Have a good rest of the week.
Best wishes
Ellie

Gumbo Lily said...

I love everything about this piece..... the colors, the stitches, the adorableness of the flying bear and his lil fairy helper, and the childlikeness of the picture. It's as if a child drew it, and it came to life by your stitching magic.

Your work is so lovely, Amalia! So colorful and Happy! You need to write a book! I agree with others on that! ♥

Mrs. Micawber said...

He is adorable! I think you should take up illustrating yourself. You're a true artist.

I'm so sorry I wasn't able to take up the baton of your very kind Liebster Award. March has been a truly mad month for me, and the craziness promises to continue into April. Thank you so much for thinking of me.

P.S. I too prefer Persuasion to any of Miss Austen's other excellent books. It's such a lovely, wistful, autumnal story with a happy summery ending. Definitely the best of them all! And though I never envisioned Capt. Wentworth looking anything like Ciaran Hinds, he did a wonderful job of interpreting the character. Sophie Thompson was outstanding as the whiny Mary. :)

Amalia, what a beautiful piece of embroidery, featuring the little bear that could! Such sweetness in your sewing!

Toni said...

Awww, that is adorable!!!!

handmade by amalia said...

When I love a book as much as I love Persuasion, I'm not usually inclined to like the adaptation. But the 1995 one is true to the spirit of the book, as I perceive it, understated and beautifully cast across the board. And I did like them choosing a character actor like Ciaran Hinds rather than a matinee idol in the form of Rupert Penry Jones.

No worries about the Liebster - the point was to show my liking of your blog, so mission accomplished I hope. Where did the month of March disappear to, that is a question that's been puzzling me as well.

handmade by amalia said...

Yes, I make the craft then write a little verse to complement it
Thank you for the nice comment
