BIG SMILE...I caught the bear and I am going to keep him!  C#

How about a nice bright light and a magnifying glass????

I use a lot of hot chilies in my cooking too and I know what you mean.  They always say wear rubber gloves but I don't.  I have rubbed my eye after chopping them though...ouch.

My great aunt was blind and she cooked, washed dishes, cleaned her home and did everything for herself.  I remember thinking she was going to cut her fingers off but the last time I saw her was for her 75th anniversary!  Oh, yes, she also had glass eyes and the kids were always wanting her to take them out...KIDS!

That is a beauty!  I love the lops and would never want the ears standing up!

He is beautiful, best of luck...

I came back to look again and I am just totally amazed.  Really amazed!!!!

A patchwork bear sounds great...can't wait to see it!

How on earth do you get such detail on such a little bear.  I just love him to pieces....

I don't see a picture Jessie!  RB is missing...

Thank you...I'm headed to the kitchen to do my washing....

That was wonderful danger bears...just what I needed!

I think a sponge would "ball" up the felt.  The bears are clean it is just their felt coat and hat.

Good idea Jessie...Arcto needs a little umbrella so he won't get wet!

I have two Paddinhgton Bears.  One is a big, maybe 23 inch bear the other is a 13 inch bear.  They both have blue felt coats and a yellow felt hat.  The small one has red boots.  My question is, how do I wash the felt coats and hats?  They really need it!

I searched all over my house the other day for my cell phone...my hubby finally called it and it was in my pocket!
Talk about a senior moment...

What a cool bear.  I really like Rafferty! 

CRCrafts has music boxes with the head moving arm...

Lookin good!

Yes Becky...I've been trying to pin the ear in place.  I am going to try it your way next time!

The lighting is bad  but this is Jocko...

Jocko is a monkey who plays cymbals....ha ha ha

Benny is just wonderful.  I love the way you did his body.  His arms and legs fit so perfectly and don't have the big humps so many have at the joint.  Great job!

Becky, I have tried and tried that but I always wind up with the pins in me and not in the bear head when I start to sew! How do you keep them in?

WOW, what a challenge!  I can't wait to see that bear...

Yes, he loves hugs!  His beard is getting a few grey hairs too but don't tell him.  He thinks he's still young!
