Oh, so cute!!! Wow, your bears sell so fast! That's a sign of a talented bear maker

Hello fellow arctophiles! I was wondering if there are any among you who'd like to do a summer swap with me? We can iron out details later. Thanks!   :lol:

Yep, I do everything by hand, no machine stitching on my little guys. It's extremely rare that I use a machine, and only on costumes for them. I should probably do that hand sewn challenge or commitment thingie, lol.

I must say, the new pics I've put up are some darn good ones. I've never been great shakes with cameras, I've gotten a few lucky shots here and there. Took advantage of the sunny bits of weather last weekend to snap some new shots in my mums garden (hers is fuller than mine at the mo', just put mine in back in May   ) Take a peek if you like, tell me what you think of my photo skills  :lol:
