Our first big show of the year takes place in London, Kensington Town Hall on 22nd February, so there are only five more weeks to prepare! This is my first show bear 'Cocoa' and he will make his debut on the big day. Got to get my nose back to the grindstone now! Good luck to everyone else who will be exhibiting ... I'm looking forward to seeing your work. :dance:
He's gorgeous Paula, I love the colours you've used :hug:

He's beautiful, Paula. I love the colors, too.
OMG what a great bear you made Paula. I love the colors and your embroidered nose is super!!!
I heard and read a lot about Hugglets. I can't be there to visit the show because I will visit a great craft fair in Holland that is held at the same weekend.
But I am looking forward to teddy exhibition in Wiesbaden (Germany).......almost 2 months from now.....he he he!!! :dance:
Paula, he's just beautiful. Like many here, I just love the color and look of his nose. It looks like satin. He should do well for you!
What a pretty bear. I love the eye color that you chose to go with the fur.
Thanks everyone, it's lovely to hear you like this bear! This alpaca is super to work with. His nose is stitched using fine embroidery threads, rather than the usual perle ... it's a little more fiddly, but can give a really nice finish.
Great start to your hugglets collection Paula.He is a gorgeous boy and I love his colours
Laurie :hug:
The eyes and the nose go so well. The color was also great.

Love his colours Paula! ....look forward to seeing him in the fur!
Hugs Yvonne
Awwwww, Paula he's lovely! Great bear as always, one day I WILL own one of your bears.
I too have been working on bears for Hugglets and with alpaca, I've not seen this particular alpaca before, where did you buy it from please?
Hugs, Jane.
Thanks everyone - you are very kind! Jane, this alpaca is from Susan at Bear Basics and it's a gorgeously warm chocolate brown ... you'll love it!
