How to Make Your Own Adventure – by Sebastian

There have been quite a few days recently where the weather was – oh, let’s just say it! Dreary.

Dreary, dreary, dreary.

Cold and rainy.

It was good stayin’ inside weather but after a while that can be quite boring – especially for a bear with an adventurous spirit – or an adventurous spurt. It does come in spurts sometimes.

I wanted to have an adventure and so the first relatively sunny afternoon we had, I took advantage. This is How to Make Your Own Adventure by me: Sebastian, Fearless Adventurer.

Step 1. First of all, you need to get where you are goin’ and if you can’t get there on your own you have to get someone to take you. That in itself can be an adventure. Since I was countin’ on the sun and there wasn’t much left, I made the command decision to go local.

Step 2. Try to see something you have never seen before. An adventure is daring and exciting. It can also be hazardous or risky so just use your noggin and be safe.

Step 3. Take photos. If you do something unusual bears will take your word for it but people, especially people , may not believe you. Also, try to get yourself in the photo so they will know you aren’t making stuff up.

Step 4. Try not to cover too much territory in one adventure. A little bit goes a long way. And short legs do not.

Step 5. When you have had enough excitement, risked your life and limb or made yourself look really foolish, then you are probably ready to call it a day – or night, whatever the case may be.

Do you want to know where the above photos from my exciting adventure were taken? You’ll be really surprised I think. Here you go:

Have you ever seen a place that has been knit-bombed before?  It was my first time!

All the street lamps in this little town next door were covered in knitting!

Then I thought I’d take a ride on a house – or would that be in a house?
I had Dreams of Flying.

It’s me on a giant elephant Pull Toy!

This was a little bit too much adventure for me.  A gentle horse grazing nearby but . . .

what happened to his middle?!

And that is how you make your own adventure.  Give it a whirl.  It’s loads of fun. Just be very, very careful.  I’m still tryin’ to figure out where the grass that horse is eating is going . . .

  1. Wow, Sebastian, you really had a wonderful adventure! I have never seen knitted telephone pole covers before, and I love your outfit!

    1. Hi Miss Linda,

      It was quite exciting if I do say so myself. Being tied to a telephone pole with yarn is definitely a new experience for me. Thanks so much!!!!

      hugs,
      Sebastian

  2. j'aime l'art au coeur de ville. L' insolite qui nous "bouscule", nous surprend, nous interpelle au détour d'une rue ...
    C'est ainsi dans une ville proche de chez moi. Dans ma ville aussi, l'art s'invite, quelques oeuvres sont déjà en place.
    Jolie et insolite promenade, merci Ginger !
    Ici, une semaine de soleil et de températures très douces, mais, le froid doit revenir encore ...
    Bonne fin de semaine ! rosethé-Minima

    1. Hello Rosethé,

      The art can be fun and surprising too. I'm glad you enjoyed Sebastian's adventure. I'm sure he's happy that you have art near you and hope that you will get some warmer temperatures soon. We hope Spring comes soon!

      Thanks so much!

    1. Hello Mari,

      You are very kind to say I am brave. I like that! I hope you enjoyed the photos and that they made you smile.

      Just like your visit did for me!

      hugs,
      Sebastian

  4. We have all that knitting covering every thing in site here in Australia as well. The crazy has been going for about 3 years. Sebastian, you need to get some knitting needles out.

    1. Hello Kay and all the bears there,

      I'll bet your knitting is fun. Maybe more fun than ours?! If I had any knitting needles I might have to use them for pole jumping as I manage to get tangled up in knots just looking at yarn. Does Wilbur know how to knit?

      hugs,
      Sebastian

  5. Jack had to read this very carefully, 'cos he was worried he might have been failing thus far in his own 'make your own adventure' quest, however he's been reassured that he seems to be on the right track...

    There was a huge yarn-bombing thing in the little town of Saltburn On Sea in honour of the Olympics, I don't know if they ever worked out who did it!

    1. Hi Miss Katy,

      Yes, Jack knows what he is doing. I have seen the photos as proof. See he's following the steps. That is step #3!

      As unusual as it is to see something that has been knit bombed, I think it must take lots of organization and lots of hands and lots of yarn!

      Thanks for sharing the link!!!!

      hugs,
      Sebastian

  6. I love the horse Sebastian! A very clever piece of art! That was quite an adventure you had! Whew!

    1. Hi Granny K,

      That horse was very unique. I knew there was something missing right from the start when I could see right through him. Who knew his whole middle was absent???

      I love your visits!
      hugs,
      Sebastian

  7. Can't say we've ever seen anything quite like this on any of the adventures we've had. This is our first view of a knitting or yarn bombing and the photos of the horse....wow is the only word that comes to mind. Thanks Sebastian for the "Make Your Own Adventure" lesson, we can't wait to give it a try.
    Hugs,
    Bellamine & Wendy

    1. Hello my friends,

      Bellamine & Wendy you know I am happy to share my adventures and I'm pretty sure that you know you are welcome to come along with me anytime. Yep, definitely a "Wow!" type of day.

      Have fun in your travels!
      hugs,
      Sebastian

  8. Now Sabastian we both know somebody who'd love to see this yarn bombing, trouble is I fear if I show that certain person she'll start doing it all over our neighbourhood here ;0) and then what would happen?!
    The Shantock Hug send big hugs. xxx

    1. Hello the lovely and ever talented Elanor,

      Ginger tells me to tell you Hello and send you big hugs. Oh, I know exactly who you are talking about you know. She made my delightful and perfectly fitted waistcoat. (See? I called it by the right name, didn't I? Now I'm doubting myself.) Thinking can be taxing.

      If I learn to knit, I will help that certain person yarn bomb your neighborhood. It would be a good excuse to come and visit! :D

      hugs,
      Sebastian

  9. Such a delightful little story. Your imagination is fun to tap into! I hope Sebastian took his lunch. Bear doesnt get out of his cupboard much . . . he is very old now... Seb's adventure would have Bear reminiscing about his youth!
