Wow thats a big troop of bears!  bear_grin

Miser

I have a charlie bear somewhere that is supposed to stand. He has thick card in his feet, but the card has bent (I got him reduced because of this fault) so he just falls over. I expect if the card was straight he would be fine

Miser

hehe I cant wait to see what you make emily  bear_grin

Hey everybody! It gets dark pretty early now (4.30pm) and there just arnt enough hours in the day to sew my teds! Ive tried putting all the lights on in the room, and a lamp on the table, but my eyes still strain. I dont use a sewing machine so everything has to be done by hand.

Do you have any suggestions for good lighting? Thankees

Miser

I love the big cuddly teds, I find I cant hug jointed bears too well, because they are often stuffed hard. I have a lot of Gund bears which I love to bits, and a couple or random "i have no idea what their brand is" bears that I have rescued from charity shops.

Miser

Im not sure it counts as a craft, but I love to take photographs of landscapes.

Hey everyone, this is Cooper. He turned out a lot larger than I thought, and he is staying at Miser Bear HQ.

For long and funky fur in the UK, I use Mohair and bear making supplies. Their range is really good in both faux fur and mohair

Miser

Miser

Cant wait to see how he is coming along  bear_grin

Miser

hehe he looks like a cheeky one! Maybe he is sabotaging your efforts  bear_laugh

Miser

I had ridiculous trouble with Toby's nose, I ended up doubling up the thread and doing it that way. Maybe i should try a different nose technique too  bear_wacko

Miser

Better costumes than I usually see  bear_laugh

Miser

Aww Emily, this is getting spooky! Thanks everyone for you lovely comments, Toby approves  bear_thumb

Miser

Toby has been itching to find a new owner, apparently i dont have enough cake for him to eat.

Made from super soft faux fur, he stands at 13", and sits at 10". Toby is completely hand sewn by myself and is sporting German glass eyes, cashmere paw pads, heavy poly fiber filling and a handsome red felt collar.

I hope you like him, he is up on my ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271085161963? … 1555.l2649

Miser

Miser

Miser
