It's my Granny's 80th birthday party next weekend so I've made her an old-style teddy after much cringing about 'distressing' it- still think I was a bit heavy handed, but ah well! At least i had a go, not like with my last 'old style' bear!

I was thinking of calling her Esmeralda, for some reason bear_tongue  Esme for short.  I hope she is well received!

I'll be revising pretty heavily (I hope!) from now until after my exams, so please don't be offended if I fall silent for a bit- I might have actually succeeded in being strict with myself!  How will I live without TT?!?!

Wonderful bear Chloe, your Gran will love her for sure.

Best of luck with the revision. I remember those days only too well and don't envy you in the least. Me and my bears/animals have our fingers and paws crossed for you.

Hey all bear_original  Thanks for your lovely comments- I have snuck back on!  I went back into my Summer Job work today, and on of the first things said to me there was 'have you brought another creature to see us?' bear_laugh  Even they know I'm mad... lol XD

I'm currently on a mixture of genetics and the dynamics of animal locomotion  bear_wacko  PAIN!

Thanks everyone bear_original  I had a great time with my family this weekend (first complete get together since 1995!) although it was not without its mishaps!  My granny liked the bear, and immediately asked if I wanted it to look like a Steiff, which is all he compliments I needed!  I didn't really want to tell anyone about the hobby (I'm not embarrassed or anything, but it as my Grannys 80th, not my show-off day!)  but I found my mum hiding in the kitchen with two of my aunties filling them in... grr!

Back to locomotion and nervous control... thanks again bear_original  bear_wub
