Has Anyone Made A Different Teddy Bear For Each Month Of The Year, Or For Each Holiday Of The Year?  Would Love To See Them. Have Anyone Made A Calendar Of The Teddy Bear Pictures?  I Was Thinking About Making Bears For Each Month And One For Each Country.

Hi Thelma.  Your bear is beautiful and the embroidered nose is incredible.   bear_grin  bear_wub

Thank you Coraleen!  The vest has 3 snaps sewn on each side and each lapel has 3 snaps = 42 snaps.  bear_cry   I thought when he was finished that I never wanted to sew a snap again!!!

Wow, that is an awful lot of snaps!  I don't think I've sewn that many in my life and I'm 56.  bear_laugh  bear_grin

Thanks, Pat!  The lady who adopted him loves to play with her bears, so I know all his costumes are used!  bear_smile
Well, believe it or not, Coraleen, I've sewn many more projects with lot's of snaps, even after I swore not too!  Just a glutton for punishment, I guess  :crackup:

Wow I love him and all the outfits. What a great job. I bet it was a lot of work but it looks like it was worth it. :clap:
