When I was a little girl, my most treasured teddy bear was pink and white, and named, ahem, ‘Pinkie’.
The original Pinkie got lost in a move along the way, so in my early 20’s, I made a replacement Pinkie.
Pinkie has been my travelling companion ever since.
And, when Jim and I got together, I made him Bluebear.
Bluebear fell madly in love with Pinkie, and they got married and have had oh so many adventures together.
We have photo albums of their travels.
Anyhow, Pinkie accompanied me to Cincinnati last week to help with the photo shoot for my new book, The Woven Bag.
(Bluebear declined to leave Jim, so he stayed at home, keeping Jim company, while languishing for Pinkie).
Pinkie checked out Christine’s camera and decided that it was just right.
She found the photo shoot terribly boring, so she noodled around the studio, checking out the props.
She was particularly fond of the planets toy and enjoyed her space travels enormously.
She behaved herself fairly well at the lunch where I got to meet all kinds of lovely people who help to bring the book out into the world.
She loved the quaint street that the restaurant was on.
And agreed to have a picture taken with me.
Then she took a picture of Christine, me and Jenni.
Tomorrow: Pinkie gets a makeover!

What fun – the adventures of Pinkie and Bluebear! I too have woven unusual serapes and scarves with varying textured threads and yarns in off-the-loom projects and see how this book would be a valuable and creative one!
Thanks so much, Christina!
Yes… small looms do not mean SMALL projects!
Happy Weaving!
