Very cute little guy. Great colors!
I agree with Becky -
What a wonderful bear! Great story!
Thank you so much Michelle!
Thank you Pink! Francy - You bet he is having a wonderful time! Watching all the games he can with me!
Benny loves soccer! His bedroom walls are filled with the posters from his favorite teams and he dreams at night of becoming a famous soccer star. He watches all the games he can and plays at every opportunity he gets. And he’s pretty good at it too; he even made the school team. Benny is now hard at work practicing all his favorite moves so he will be ready for the big game tomorrow.
Benny is 8" tall and made with 2 different colors of sparse mohair. Thanks for looking!
Beautiful summer bear!!!!
What a beautiful cat!!!! Love the wip on fb!
What a sweet little face!
He is very sweet! I love the freckles and the cute little arms!
I wouldn't mind have a pocket surfing, joy bag riding bear or two!!!!!
What a sweetie!
You betcha!!! And tho I don't always (seldom) use them, I do find that when I go thru and fondle them, I remember the bears they came from and have a sentimental moment
Very cute lion!
What a cute elephant!!!!
Michelle - this is about the cutest thing I've seen in a while! Congratulations on 1 year!!!
Thanks so much, Pink, Francy and Michelle! Pink - I wrote my story as usual, but Mike (my husband) read it and saw a poem! So he and I re-wrote it (more he than me!)
Louie is a handsome lad, he does no fancy things.
He offers you no clothes or toys; he doesn’t dance or sing.
And so, adorned with simple bow, his search for love to start,
Around his neck he hopes he bears the key to someone’s heart!
Hope you like Louie - he is available on Etsy and Bear Pile. Thanks for looking!
Very beautiful cat, Francy! I enjoyed watching him "grow" on Facebook!
Wow, Becky, never thought about the backing!!! Raced right in and looked at mine - thankfully, the backing is woven and very close together. I would never have thought to handle the embroidery problem that way - good job! I have some other faux fur that is tremendous - have made several bears from it and I love it. Like Francy said, great for scissor sculpting, one of my favorite things!
Michelle - made me laugh (mother of 4) but like childbirth, just look at what you get!!!!!
Love this bear! Great color and I love the feet. Great pose in first picture!
He is a very beautiful bear, Becky! I have some faux fur in white that is extremely long and very thick. I've had it for years. Every time I go to choose fabric for a bear, I fondle it, think about sewing it and move on!!!! Maybe some day I will get brave. Did you trim the seam allowance - does that help at all?????
Peter has it right! Hugs, Hugs, Hugs!
Pretty little face!
