Swan Valley Bears

Yep, the polar bear gets my vote too.

Really funny.  I sent the link to my daughters and mom and husband.  I think they'll love it.

My two lovely daughters and my wonderful son-in-law, my husband and ditto everything else Jodi said (well said, Jodi).

Now I would like to see an antique clown bear.

Penny, I'm not sure George is going to like your beard.

Sorry, I think this isn't quite the game you had in mind, is it, Gaby.  Can we get back on track?  White polar bear with black claws.

Swan Valley Bears

It's 3:10 am here.  I'm up late a lot.  I have restless leg syndrome.

Swan Valley Bears

OK, mine's finished, packed, addressed and ready to be mailed tomorrow.  Yipeeeeeee ! ! !

Swan Valley Bears

Edie, your hiking bear is wonderful.  I love his pose, very cleverly done with the bent arm and leg.  Your friend will surely love him to pieces.

Swan Valley Bears

Ya-hooooo, congratulations to you and your hubby.    Now we'll need to keep everything crossed for your home sale and hunt.

Chloe,  make sure your camera is set for the type of lighting you're using.  Your camera should have a "white balance" setting with flourescent, tungsten, outside etc.  It kind of looks like the white balance is off a little in the first picture.

You can buy them in large sheets at Joann's and also, Walmart has them with 5 (I think) 8 x 11 inch sheets to a pack.

Swan Valley Bears

OOOOOOOOOOOOOh, sweet, sweet, sweet ! ! !

Thank you, Dilu.  Here's another one for Renae:
Will you pass this on to her?

And if anyone was wondering, like I was, what a kingkajou is . . . kingkajou.jpg

We already bought our Christmas gifts.  Plane tickets to Nashville for me, hubby and daughter, Paige.  We're going to see daughter, Tracy and her hubby in January. 

Yeaaaaaaaa ! ! ! !

Swan Valley Bears

If dogs talk to God I KNOW they go to heaven ! ! ! !   See you there, Buster.

Swan Valley Bears

Oh my gosh . . . . sooooooooooooo cute ! ! ! !

Swan Valley Bears

OK,  my $.02 worth . . . .  I buy Morning Glory Premium Polyester Fiberfil from Walmart.  You can get it in a big box or a 20 oz bag.  That's what I stuff the heads with.  Packs nice and firm.  I use Wonderfil I buy at Joann's for the bodies and limbs. Morning Glory has two others that Walmart sells, one is called Cluster Stuff, the lofty slick stuff that's good for soft bodies (the bag says "airy, down-like) and the other type is somewhere in between the two.   I bought a bag of the Cluster Stuff and I'll try it in the body of my next bear.

Swan Valley Bears

Kimberly, I love your new mini, sooooooooo cute ! ! !   I love his little collar too.

Swan Valley Bears

Wow, Mikki, this is the most adorable hedgehog I have ever seen.  Your needlefelted creations are amazing ! ! ! !

Swan Valley Bears

WOW, Melissa, you did a LOT of work.  Your display looks terrific.  What a great turn-out for the open house too.  Congratulations on a great day and also on the newspaper article.
