I love weaving these Small Square ‘Comfort’ Teddy Bears! They have ‘huggy arms’ that hold onto a thumb or finger so hugs are always near. To make a Small Square ‘Comfort’ Teddy Bear that is a Panda, weave the body in white and work the ears, arms and legs in black or any color that you prefer. Weave them in just one color or with 2 shades to make them ‘tweedie’. They have lucky pennies and good wishes hearts inside, so they have very good energy. Because they are so small, they easily fit in your pocket. It’s so good to always have a couple of them with you, because you never know who you ..read more

How to Weave a Small Comfort Butterfly on the Chloe Loom
Tottie Talks Crafts Blog
by tottietalkscrafts
2w ago
A couple of years ago, I made a youtube video on how to weave butterflies on the Mirrix Saffron loom. LINK When I was chatting with Claudia and Elena on a webinar a few weeks ago, wonderful Sandy from Mirrix, mentioned about the tabby butterfly. This inspired the living daylights out of me, as I ‘aha-ed’ that I could weave smaller butterflies on the Chloe loom. (BTW, the butterfly woven on the Saffron loom can easily be woven on the Chloe loom, if you use the 8 epi combs.) Why are small woven butterflies so exciting? For me, the most meaningful reason for weaving the Small Comfort Butterfly is ..read more

Several people have messaged me recently, asking if I still have any Vasilisa Comfort Dolls available for sale. I don’t have the stamina to carve wood anymore, as I am living with Long Covid/post viral syndrome (blech). So, there won’t be any new ones and these are the only Vasilisa Dolls that are still available. If you are interested in buying any of them, please leave a comment and I will get back to you asap. These 3 are Lucets (cordmakers)- I made youtube videos for how to work with them. If you click in the search button, you’ll find links to those videos. The Vasilisa Doll Lucets are $7 ..read more

A Cozy Cape to weave for the Lily Doll

1M ago
The days are getting longer, and certainly are warmer than a month ago! But it’s still winter here. Which inspired me to design and weave a cape for Lily Doll: The kit and pdf are available at https://mirrixlooms.com/lily I just noticed that the background screen has a white loop that looks like it’s part of the cape sticking out of Lily Doll’s ear. Sigh…. not at all. I could go and re-shoot the photo or I could tell you that I didn’t notice it until now, which is what I have opted to do instead of the sensible solution of re-shooting the photo. Ah well…. and, perhaps you didn’t notice, but n ..read more

Little wee woven Panda bears

I wove one miniature panda, then another and another- I couldn’t resist weaving the tiny tiny pandas using the pattern that I designed for the wee teddy bears that are part of the Lily Doll Project that I created for Mirrix looms. The pandas and bears are all woven on the Mirrix Chloe Loom. The pandas are made the same way as the tiny teddy bears, except the ears, arms and legs are different color yarns, and a couple of little stitches are added to the face to make their face patches. The pdf and kit for the teddy bear are available at https://mirrixlooms.com/lily. To make the pandas, use s ..read more

I made a little video about the Pixel People

The Pixel People are quirky little woven wonderfuls that I designed for the Lily Doll Project. They began as doodles on graph paper and were so delightful that I had to weave them right away! They are very small, so they are quick to weave and are great little stash busters. (they’re 1 1/2 inch or 3.75 cm square). I always put a ‘Lucky Penny’ and a paper heart inside to make them even more good natured. They should probably come with a warning that they are so much fun to weave that it becomes quite addictive to weave them. This is really okay, as people love them so much that the Pixel Peop ..read more

A Teeny Tiny Woven Panda

Panda bears…. so sweet! I can’t resist…. so I wove a tiny Panda, using scraps of yarn left over from the Lily Doll kit (using the instructions from the Tiny Teddy Bear in the Lily Doll Project) He felt like having a little nap so I tucked him into the teeny tiny crib. Two of the Tiny Bears raced over to see who was this new little friend in the studio. Panda said that he was a little chilly all alone in the crib, so the Little Bears invited him to hop into their cozy bed and tell them all about himself…. They are so happy being together in the studio that they are hoping that there will be ..read more
