Stars Design Candle Holders to Cure Parkinson’s

Ricky Gervais, Robbie Coltrane, Elaine Paige and several other British celebrities have designed 34 bone china candle holders for charity to raise awareness for Parkinson’s disease.

Sir Michael Caine, Geri Halliwell and Matt Lucas among others, will also be signing photos. They’re being auctioned on eBay for 10 days starting at 7pm tonight until Friday March 4^th.

It’s a good cause and some of the unique designs aren’t bad. My favourite candle holder design is by celebrity chef Ainsley Harriott, but then I’m a foodie and a fan.

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.

At CraftGossip, we love highlighting talented Etsy designers who bring handmade magic to life. Supporting these creatives means supporting the sewing community—and getting our hands on adorable patterns like this one!
