I found this unusual sea shell votive candle holder at Artyecological’s Etsy shop. The turquoise, amber and seashell combo is quite striking. Of course it’s sold now, but there are many more unique stained glass candle holders to choose from.
Artyecological (don’t know the artist’s real name) never creates the same design twice and says, “I get bored with the everyday patterns, so I have to branch off. It’s called FREE STYLE!!!” She’s a florist by day and an artist by night.
If you’ve been following along lately, you’ll know I’ve been on a bit of a baby pattern thing—and this sweet Floppy Teddy Bear fits right in with that vibe! With its classic shape, relaxed limbs, and vintage charm, this little bear looks like it just stepped out of a storybook or an old wooden toy chest.
This is a digital PDF sewing pattern, making it super convenient to download and get started right away. It’s perfect for those who love sewing cuddly companions with a rustic or nostalgic twist—just imagine this little bear nestled under the tree or perched on a child’s bed, well-loved and well-squished.
Whether you’re making it as a keepsake gift or just adding to your collection of handcrafted soft toys, this teddy is a timeless treasure in the making. Bonus points for sewing it in worn-look fabrics for an extra cozy, vintage finish.
