Thanks, your kind words are appreciated.

I had fun with the bunny suited bear.  I havent quite finished him, I still need to line the cap and attach the ribbon to tie it up under his chin.

I had so much fun making the old bear.  I remember sitting there plucking great hunks out of the mohair thinking what a waste.....   But he does look old and bedraggled with his head, nose and chest scars, and there is another on the back of his arm.

Yes,  he came with the clothes pattern and my mum helps me make the clothes.  I know, its sad,    a thirty something woman, who still gets her mum to help.  he he, she is priceless and I couldnt do it without her.

more of my babies 

Some of my older creations.

I made him a couple of years back and I cant remember who's pattern he was or what his name is.....   

This was the Christmas project from a couple of years back.

I wont say it again, but he is one of my fav's too.

This one was last years class project.

and, Yes, he is one of my favourites.  Hmmm, I see a pattern emerging here....

Another couple of my favourites

I love these two.  Boris in on the right, Natasha on the Left.

Hi Everyone,

I posted a pic of a Bride and Groom Pair that I made earlier this month.  and as you have all asked so nicely, I have taken pics and will post some of my bears here for you to have a peek at.

None of them are of my design as I havent been game enough to design any yet.

But I love them all.

This one would have to be my favourite.  My Jester.  I have named him Giacamo, King of Jester, and Jester of Kings.

I hope you like him

What about Bears from the Blue

I have asked my husband to build me another house.  Just for my craft.  He says, there isnt enough building materials in the world to make a house big enough..... 

I dont know what he means.
