This is a beary sweet and fun little bear! It is again a pattern uniquely mine. I love old fashioned bears and this one was inpsired by traditional bears but with the fun and imaginative creativity that has come to be known as the characteristic of Craftybegonia patterns. The pattern is not too difficult to make, but I suggested that only Intermediate and Advance crocheters attempt to make it, to make sure you are not disappointed at your own personal results. As with Polka Dots,I am offering limited license permission to use this pattern to make items for sale. The pattern is copyrighted and it belongs to me, it cannot be sold anywhere, but I am granting a limited license permission in writing to sell items made FROM the pattern in places like Etsy. The pattern will be delivered as a PDF file through email. Please provide an email address without bouncing security filters and allos 24 hours for manual deliver of your electronic goods. If you would like to purchase the pattern to make this truly unique and lovable little bear, please click on the link below:<br />

<strong>Polka Dots</strong> is just cuteness itself! Not only does she have the lovable "flowery" hairdo characteristic of Flowerumi bears, but she has these precious polka dots all over her body and face that make her unusual and irresistibly cute. The precious shades of color that form her also contribute to make her special look.<br />
A treat for any Amigurumi lover of any age!<br />

<div>
My flowerumi bears struck a chord of love in many. And I have been asked over and over again, to share the patterns. I designed my Flowerumi as exclusive bears, so I cannot share the original desings of all those beloved bears. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I have decided to make new ones to share the patterns, and these too will be exclusive in the sense that they are made especially to give you, bear lovers, an opportunity to make these cute and lovable little bears whose hair is made up by flowers and e working on designs that are new, fresh and not owned by others yet.</div>
<div>
Stay tuned!<br />

When I was a child, I would prefer a raggedy doll over the most beautiful, stiff, plastic dolly. I thought stuffed animals had more movement to them and enjoyed them more. Traditionally, bears have been a comforting toy, beloved of all children (even grown ones!)<br />Being an artist by training, a craftster by heart and a lifelong crocheter, stuffed, crocheted bears were something that came out one day...almost spontaneously. Flowerumi took shape even as I worked and became lively characters almost all their own. Each one of my bears has a unique "face" and personality. I don't (I could say I can't ) repeat any of them, since they are handmade, each one comes out different, and as the colors and the shape of the bear moves in a given direction, the face and personality are born and the bear becomes different from all the others. A treasured future friend for someone already special.<br />Why am I almost giving them away? Handmade toys are not cheap. They take TIME to make and require skill, artistry, imagination and ingenuity to put together, all of these elements have gone into my Flowerumi bears. I take pains to make them beautiful and fun, appealing and lovable, but at the same time, practical (washable, non-allergenic, and safe). Why, then, do I sell them so cheaply? Because I work all year round for charity causes, and I see that times are tough. Not everyone is prosperous and I just wouldn't like a child to be without a toy if one can be made available! If you are doing really well, then you can buy half a dozen of them, but if all you can afford is 1 bear to make your child happy for his or her birthday, or for Christmas and one of my Flowerumi can be that one special toy, that means a lot to me. I also know that it might mean a lot to your little one.<br />That is what my Flowerumi are all about!<br /><br />If you have a number of gifts to make this soon coming Holiday Season and you figure your budget could use a break, but you still want to give something that's really wonderful to a little one who would just go crazy about it, visit my shop. I treat it like a brick and mortar store. It is open from Monday through Thursday (I have really important reasons for that) and you will find automatic PayPal buttons to shop.<br />If you visit at any other time, you will be window-shopping.<br /><br />Here's the link you'll need:<br /><br /><b><a href="http://www.flowerumiplace.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://www.flowerumiplace.blogspot.com/</a></b><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg2Re1h6t5s0UVfuKT4b5l3cqBLA5c-HHYFYWJ_F_yApWk5Gr5YRjrGZBchKcG61N0cKRrWOh9ihOfy2yZwn0866smt9xzUfXcRljAFKod4QW9IIBR40dAaOlLIoSZGsRyabJmLZNjJ8Qw/s1600-h/possy3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 102px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg2Re1h6t5s0UVfuKT4b5l3cqBLA5c-HHYFYWJ_F_yApWk5Gr5YRjrGZBchKcG61N0cKRrWOh9ihOfy2yZwn0866smt9xzUfXcRljAFKod4QW9IIBR40dAaOlLIoSZGsRyabJmLZNjJ8Qw/s200/possy3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373327773935839714" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAZFbFpev_XEhVqxMhk-7VqbfyD4XTmpM4nvcg9GSo7-9uPwaylea0zi38P9ZveC3cmqBn_CLgcsOIqqiPSQQW7-Sptr8vvu4RsF6b5DOP7FLvtFf0YIDRD3WUWk-SgVS0YJE6RdZ4QjEA/s1600-h/possy2a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAZFbFpev_XEhVqxMhk-7VqbfyD4XTmpM4nvcg9GSo7-9uPwaylea0zi38P9ZveC3cmqBn_CLgcsOIqqiPSQQW7-Sptr8vvu4RsF6b5DOP7FLvtFf0YIDRD3WUWk-SgVS0YJE6RdZ4QjEA/s200/possy2a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373327789653528450" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><b>Please, spread the word about Floerumi, you might make a difference for another parent's Christmas budget!</b><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl9ozvaewSuAZHDOGYJ_sY5jqDe4ZmXbgq520B81wpLd_59X0drh_i6Codeb6kZ0NNypZCUPpD93H8yb-o3DzZ3bTPBIfBsLCKLFlcMvF29_cs9rTJl8-lKgJHtDYAEceWg3tZMiPZUOA8/s1600-h/flowerumi+gang.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 161px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl9ozvaewSuAZHDOGYJ_sY5jqDe4ZmXbgq520B81wpLd_59X0drh_i6Codeb6kZ0NNypZCUPpD93H8yb-o3DzZ3bTPBIfBsLCKLFlcMvF29_cs9rTJl8-lKgJHtDYAEceWg3tZMiPZUOA8/s200/flowerumi+gang.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374444731370053698" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Craftybegoniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01873176762991601294noreply@blogger.com0
