New Flowerumi Bears!

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.

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.

Stay tuned!

Flowerumi!

It was a hard day, unusual for his toddler life. Today he was sitting on the high chair facing a tough challenge: Peas! Mommy wasn't in the mood to play teaspoon airlplane and he wimpered terribly as his chubby little hands waved in the air for the comfort of his favorite stuffed toy. The comfort of a stuffed animal is wonderful. It can turn a tearful lunch of hated peas into giggles and smiles as mommy tries to feed baby's favorite toy a small bite of his hated peas in between teaspoonfuls to him, peas won't taste so bad then...
What are FLOWERUMI? They are special, crocheted stuffed bears in the Amigurumi style. I call them Flowerumi because flowers form their "hair." I came up with these cute little bears. They are all darling ladies. Each one has a personality and a face all her own. They are handmade from start to finish, and are not repeated. Each one is unique and one-of-a-kind. The design is mine and I give each one its unique look, so that is really no bear like one of these bears.

These are some of my beautiful bears.

Flowerumi Our Story

I have always loved stuffed animals. 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!)
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.
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.
That is what my Flowerumi are all about!

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.
If you visit at any other time, you will be window-shopping.
