Hey everyone,
Still not much coming out of the Bearhaven Bear den and only a few more months left before the TBAI show, nothing like working under pressure. This little fella (5 1/2 inches) is lucky to be here. Stinker gave me the time of my life and not in a good way, but I'm glad I stuck with him because I really like how he ended up, finished bear_grin Anyway hope you enjoy looking at him.

Awww thanks guys, Yup he looks innocent but this is one naughty dude under that silly hat. Four legs I ruined making this guy only to end up using the very first one I started with, :twisted: fingers got poked so many times thread kept getting caught in the calluses, knotting my thread up. Seemed like every stitch snagged. Even his vintage glass buttons had to be sewn on a gazillion times, urggggggg I burst into bear_cry out of frustration and I don't cry. I think this poor fella has heard every curse word in the history of curse words, been called them all and he still came out smiling, bear_grin ohhh don't get me started on how many times I had to do his mouth. I can't beleive I didn't toss him I guess I knew he was ment to be, and I'm gald I stuck to it cause I do like him now that he is done. :hug:
Kinda reminds me of this gal she is one heck of a challange, but gotta love that face.
