DO821E1small.jpgDO8E241small.jpgTTDONE2small.jpgIf anybody knows Lisa Pay-please don't tell her what I've done to her Molly pattern!
This 12" chubby fellow is hand sewn and five way jointed. He has German glass eyes, ultra-suede paws and a Pearle cotton nose and mouth. His tummy is weighted with steele shot. His "third ear" is sewn to his bottom-for an adorable cub tail! He is made from fabulous ginger bear faux fur from Bear Bottoms Originals...Thank You Kimberly! A huge bear hug to Tammy and her daughter from Beckoning Bears, for their help and advice :hug: . Sue Ann if you're reading this....be aware...I cut out your pattern today and will be destructing...I mean constructing, a new bear this week :crackup: .

:hug: Thanks to everyone for all the positive comments!!! Learning from TT over the past year has really improved my crochet bears. While I sewed this first bear: I used at least seven things I learned from TTers. Not to mention Intercal made it so easy to get all the things needed for bear making.
  I posted a note in the OR lounge asking for cereal boxes....and now have a reserve supply of boxes if anyone needs them! :crackup: Frozen pizza boxes....why didn't I think about that?! :doh:
  Last night I made Raisin his own afghan to match his hat...he loves it. bear_tongue
           Bear hugs,

I think Raisin felt like he had been run over by a truck! I actually felt sorry for him and gave him breaks bear_grin

You have done a really great job on your first bear-he has a really adorable face.I hope you like your cereal as it looks like you will be eating rather a lot of it if you are addicted to making bears. :crackup:

Jeannie, I am so glad you posted pictures of Raisin- You know how much I love him and how proud I am of you !!!!  It was an absolute pleasure "virtually helping" you through your first bear, but you already seemed to know what you were doing.  I just got to ooh and aww over the preview pictures.    I love the raisin comment and the 3rd ear comment  :crackup:  :crackup: .  I can hardly wait to see the next cutie pie, or should I say Prune  :crackup:

I knew you'd be hooked !

WELL DONE Jeannie .  I love him and his little hat ! !

Thanks again for all the lovely comments on Raisin! I'm getting a little worried that he is a first time fluke?! His big sister "Prune" is coming along a little easier....I may be able to let Tammy get some rest from all the questions!!
   Laurie...Thank God, I love cereal :pray: !!!
