The wool allergy is usually caused by lanolin, but mohair allegedly doesn't have that. Mind you I have noticed my hands being very dry of late using the faux fur, but put it down to being winter eczema. I wonder if they treat it with something...
That looks beautiful. I may also join the queue for the guest room
He's very sweet, hope he has a new home for Christmas
Aww, I do like his hand on hips pose, he certainly looks like he has lots of personality!
yes, I'd read that bit, I think I qualify on the 5th November 2010, so not long to wait :crackup:
Dear santa...
Fab set of photos, although it was just by chance I scrolled down and discovered the second slide show, that was even bigger than the top one. Maybe next year I'll qualify to join
My bears are definitely anti-marmite and vegemite, they had a look and sniff at both, and like their owner decided they were both evil
I have a sneaking suspicion he won't be ending up on anyone's plate at any point anyway!
Aww, he's wonderful, and I just love the teeny bear sized portions of pud and brandy/rum butter!
Aww, they're fabulous, I'm sure their new owner will love them
Oh she's lovely, especially like the wee outfit and carol book, what fun!
Rudolph came to me from Helen Jamieson, I'm afraid I don't know her user name, hopefully she'll pop up and tell us!
trim the fur back from the seams by the seam allowance amount, then it will sew together fine and won't have clumpy seams I know what you mean about the allergy though, I went looking for walking socks earlier and although my hands only brushed a few ones with wool, they were red and itchy amost immediately. Of course the problem with applying cream to combat it is that it'll get on the fur. Have you thought about using cotton or silk gloves to work in?
He's wonderful, looks ready to dive into all those toys and play!
Very cute, love the whiskers
Aww, she's adorable, love the mouth and eyes
Aww, love those big 'take me home' eyes, hope it works for him!
:crackup: very good
She seems very summery in her white outfit, sure to perk up anyone's winter
Oh my, he is a big boy!
He's lovely, hope he finds a new home for Christmas, his bow tie is wonderful
Boing! Obviously a close relation to Tigger
She definitely is bonny
