Return to Bearmaking

The poor bears - particularly the UFOs - have taken a back seat long enough. I miss them and they miss me, so I am going to make some time to bearmake every day. I have a few little mohair guys I want to finish, and a couple of new patterns I want to try. And then I want to, hopefully - FINALLY - put some little guys up for adoption!

Ears used to be a headache for me, but I've sorted that. Now my headache is footpads. I just can't get the hang of them! Paw pads, when I use them, no problem. Foot pads? A mess. I just can't seem to get them to be the right size and to sew in nicely. Bear in mind (excuse the pun!) I hand sew all of my bears.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks for sewing in the perfect footpad? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Photo Fun Day 13 - Reminds Me Of Childhood

This is my gorgeous munchkin, Leah, helping her Oma in the garden. It reminds me so much of when I was that age helping my dad out in the garden - I absolutely loved that time with my dad!

Photo Fun Day 10 - Animal

I simply adore cats, so when I was in Malacca, Malaysia a couple of years back I found myself in cat heaven! There were cats everywhere!!! I made friends with this beautiful little moggy...
