All Bear Oct 5, 2006

My last show of the year is in just over three week's time and so far, this bear is all I have to exhibit! This is 'Dijon', a 15" cub made in alpaca. I need to get his friends made quicksmart!!

I agree with Gemma he is gorgeous!!! but he would look a little lonely on a table all by himself, so you'd better get yourself busy bear_grin

Thanks ladies! Great to get your feedback ... just wish I had more bears to share with you!! Bear number two is now completed and sitting patiently while I knit him a waistcoat at breakneck speed! bear_tongue

Yvonne, are you exhibiting? If so, how are your bears coming along? I hope you and Marion are further ahead than I am, or the show promoters will wonder what's going on with us!! :lol:

Right, can't hang around here, must dash .... :crackup:

By the way, would it be cheating to take 'Sunny Jim', my bear for the NSPCC along to help fill the table? I think I may need him and after all, it is to promote a good cause! bear_original

I don't think it would be cheating at all - just promoting your work...you never know, you may get a comission to make a similar one!

Can't wait to see everyone!!!

Yes Paula I am exhibiting.......but like yourself I am behind.....I'm just a slow worker.... but I've got problems with

my shoulder at the moment...so stuffing is agony !!!!!! but has to be done (OK just looking for sympathy) !!

Yes!...you take "Sunny Jim"....we would all like to see him in the fur...after all he is a very special; bear! :clap:

Hugs,

Thanks Wendy ... I've only used this fabric once before and I really like it. It makes such a nice bear! It's Intercal's ALPS/7 ... I'm definitely going to order some more soon!

Yvonne, hope your shoulder feels better soon ... what a tricky problem for a bear-maker! I think I will take Sunny Jim, with a laminated placard to hold telling visitors all about the Dare to Care auction. That way he fills a spot on the table and works for his living too! bear_thumb
