Pumpkin & Pickle Bears

Hmm, maybe you could see your doctor about it. I was constantly tired a few years ago and discovered that a had a severly underactive thyroid....it took them 6 months of blood tests before the final diagnosis as they wanted to be sure thats what it was. I'm now on thyroxine for the rest of my life - not a nice thought at the age of 24!! But hey, at least it sorted me out! I'm on a different medication for something else and the side effect is fatigue - I can't flamin win!!!  bear_wacko

So get a blood test if it carries on - it's better to be safe than sorry!

Tammy he's wonderful!!  bear_thumb  bear_wub

How did you find doing his legs? I've always found it the most difficult part of a needlefelted critter!

The ears are the very last thing I do too..it's also my least favourite part of bear making....I LOVE the rest though!!  bear_grin

Pumpkin & Pickle Bears

I use tiny bits of stuffing for the nose are and feet so I can pack them firmly then generally use bigger bits to stuff the rest. I use steel pellets or steel shot in a stocking to weight the bear (I put some loose ones in the feet also).

I use my curved forceps as a stuffing tool - I've never used anything else and I find it works a treat!

Pumpkin & Pickle Bears

Oh Laura Lynn, I'm so sorry to hear of you sad news.  bear_cry  :hug:

I also thought sniffing glue and such was something of the past! bear_ermm

Take care of yourself and good luck with the show - not that you'd need it as your bears are GORGEOUS!! bear_thumb

Well, I treated myself to a gasket punch set and I have to say - it is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!! I now have PERFECT round eye whites on my current bear (which I'll post a picture of tomorrow). I've NEVER managed to achieve such neat eye whites before and I do them on all of my bears...the punch set is a lifesaver! Thank you Jane for suggesting it.  :hug:

I'm so sorry to hear about your niece.  bear_sad  :hug:



I'm not sure how many you should do, but maybe you could dress 1 or 2 of them and leave one of them undressed. How about doing a school boy bear and a school girl bear? You could make miniature versions of the uniform?
