Bumpkin BearsHi everyone,
As some of you know I have started designing a new series of miniature bears inspired by Nursery Rhymes. I just love old children's rhymes and stories and it got me thinking that it would be fun to know which are your favourite nursery rhymes or stories? I have opened this topic on my new blog, so please leave your favourites there, it should be fun 
I may even use some of the favourites for new bear inspiration :dance:
There are also lots of photos of my garden, belgium and my crafty creations on my blog. I'd love to swop links with anyone else with a blog, so just send me an email if you'd like to swop
HUGS

I'm gonig to think it through before I post XD By the way, is your blog supposed to be lined at the right of the page? It seems strange, but I'm viewing in Firefox...
Bumpkin Bearsok Shantell, I've added you to my blog list Your blog is soo cute and oh my gosh those kittens 
I had not realised you had more kittens again - I bet you are already head over heels in love with them, I know I would be
My blog design does fill the screen from left to right without borders like a lot of blogs, I may change it in time. Can it all be read ok?

Hi Catherine I used to love Red Riding Hood as fav story and nursery rhyme was Bobby Shafto went to Sea... do you know that one.
Had a look at your blog, looks great but some links I click on don't work, like the pictures of Belgium, can't see them but I am on Firefox too and wonder if it is this. I have added you to my blog.
Warm wishes
Pauline
Thought I'd send you a piccy of the blog as viewed in Firefox: easier than describing it!
Hope that helps
Bumpkin BearsThat's very strange, I'm not sure why it appears that way for you. I'll try to find out why. I hope you are able to see my main website ok. Otherwise, does anyone else have Nursery Rhyme suggestions for my blog - thanks for all the ideas so far :hug:

I'm a fan of baa baa Black Sheep: the proper version, before they decided that the fact that the sheep was black was obviously racist and made it Rainbow sheep, or something equally stupid XD I'd LOVE to see the Owl and the Pussycat too
Try here too: http://www.rhymes.org.uk/
Apple Dumpling DesignsHere's a few for you Catherine...

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey.
Along came a spider,
Who sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away

Kissed the girls and made them cry,

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my handle, here is my spout .
When I get all steamed up then I shout.
Tip me over and pour me out.

Pop Goes the Weasel
Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle.
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.
Up and down the City road,
In and out the Eagle,
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.
For you may try to sew and sew,
But you'll never make anything regal,
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.
All around the cobbler's bench,
the monkey chased the weasel,
The dog, he thought 'twas all in fun.
Pop! goes the weasel.
A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle.
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.
Have I now accomplished the longest post on TT. :crackup: :crackup:
