aww he is SO cute, love his tail and the claw stiches are great. 
Hi Richard, I got some fabulous Spring coloured mohairs, some pretty ivory with beautiful wave to it, an old teddy gold, some pale blues.... the list goes on 
It was like being in a sweet shop! I bought Twiddles on behalf of Peter, he has now come and collected him and he is surely very loved. I look forward to seeing which Bears you are making from your mohairs.

Thank you to Jane for taking such wonderful photos at Hugglets, I visited for the first time and it was just fabulous, totally overwhelming! A perfect way to spend my Birthday. I managed to say hi to quite a few of you but didn't get round to everyone, I got disorientated with all those gorgeous bears! I adopted a very special Bear called Twiddles from Marilyn of Barling Bears on behalf of Peter who lives near me back here in Belgium, it was a real delight to spend some time in the company of this gorgeous Bear! He enjoyed his trip back through Kent to the Eurotunnel as you can see!! When asked at Eurotunnel passport control if we had any pets I didn't tell them there was a Bear in the car!!
Delighted with the mohairs I bought, can't wait to get creating! Also parking in the car park under the venue was a great deal compared to the rest of London at only 4 pounds all day. I managed to remember to take a few photos to share with you all in between ooohing and ahhhing! You can see some more photos if you like at my Blog, www.bumpkinbears.blogspot.com

Benji is a quiet little chap with the biggest of hearts. He loves peaceful days, walking across the meadows paw in hand and coming back to the warmth of a cosy fire. A glass of milk, a honey biscuit (or two!) and a loving cuddle makes Benji a very contented little Bear.
He is 15.5" and brought to life with gorgeous batik style Schulte Mohair. He is available from my website -
Hugs,
Catherine & Benji

Maria, what a wonderful opportunity your trip will be. I have just checked out Lily again and wee bear is fast asleep, sooo cute. LOVED the You Tube clip to see both their faces. Right now I can just see Lily's wonderful fluffy belly moving up and down sleeping! Here's a photo I just took. See bub up in the top. Hugs, Catherine xx

Beppe is a Bear full of Spirit and Childhood Cheer,
Perfect for the start of a brand New Year!
He loves to play dress up, being the clown with a twinkle of happiness in his eyes. He is the kindest 16" bear and loves to sit cuddling after putting on a performance with the other Bears. He is made of the most fabulous curly schulte kid mohair, just a dream! He is available for adoption from my website www.bumpkinbears.com
Echo is so sweet, love his colouring

Dear Jane, you really must not apologise. Your health is FAR FAR more important. You already do so much for everyone here, so THANK YOU for everything and enjoy a nice Christmas break :hug: :hug:
Catherine x
awww they look like they are all singing in chorus
I really like it, easy to navigate, lovely clear appealing photos of your Bears. What I loved the most was your intro text about what your Grandma said, my Granny said just the same about me due to being small It really added character and a homely feel to your site, which is after all what we want to create with Bears

Hi Marsha, I sold a Bear earlier this year to help raise funds for the Moon Bears, they really need all of our help, so thank you to you too for organising this auction. Wishing you lot of luck.
Big Hugs
