Happy Weekend / Teddy Bear Picnic Day 2026

Dear community,

I hope you have a great start to the weekend and plenty of time for crafting. Today is officially Teddy Bear Picnic Day 2026. I didn’t make this day up—it really exists. If any of you would like to upload your own photos of a picnic with your teddy bear, feel free to do so. Have fun at your picnic, with or without a teddy bear.

Thanks, Josefa—I wish you and everyone else here a wonderful weekend, too.

A teddy bear picnic—what a fun idea. I’d probably have to rent a bus—I have so many teddy bears. And I’ve always wanted to make some outfits for them—at least a few of them. We’ll see; I don’t have anything on my needles right now, so that might be an idea—I’m already looking for a new project. And of course, I’d love to make all those things, but I’d have to buy new yarn first. So I’ll see what goes with what I already have.

It’s supposed to get hot again here—I’m prepared: everything’s been bought, everything’s been washed, there’s plenty of ice in the freezer—nothing can go wrong.

I only have two teddy bears I could invite to a picnic. We’re a family with lots of sheep and cows. And lots of other stuffed animals, too—yes, it’s just like at Veronika’s; we’d need a bus. 

My in-laws are coming to visit tomorrow. So my day tomorrow will be filled with preparations. 

Since the weather’s supposed to stay so sunny, we’re heading to the pool on Sunday. 

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Best regards, Petra 

It’s not like I only have dolls—I have teddy bears living with me, too :-))) A picnic would be easy enough :-)))

I made the teddy bears sitting in the back on the couch myself; the two on the right belong to my husband

Best wishes, Inge
