One fine afternoon, I came home from a walk to find Serafina and one of her friends outside on a blanket, immersed in a little project. I gave thanks in my heart for this sign of friendship and then went on about my day.

A few hours later, they came up to show me their creations! I was amazed!

Serafina had originally gotten the pattern from a dear vintage Winnie-the-Pooh craft book (The Pooh craft book: Inspired by Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner by Carol S. Friedrichsen. It’s from 1976. Wait a minute, am I calling 1976 vintage? I was already born then!) Serafina had traced and cut out the pattern and had made herself a Pooh bear a few weeks ago.

She used the same pattern and taught her friend and they whiled away a very, very pleasant afternoon, each creating a bear of their own. They ate a little smackerel of something to give them sustenance (not pictured). And they produced these precious bears, complete with swivelling arms and legs.

I mean, how sweet are these two bears (and these two girls)?!?!
