A new Bear is Revealed

I say Revealed, Because this sweet little guy has been with me for a while,

I made him back in October, when things were a little more settled than they are right now.

He's my take on a more 'traditional' style of bear, with nice short sparse mohair.

I like his ears, and his sweet expression.

I haven't really formally named him. although he reminds me a lot of Sooty - don't you think?

I'll leave it to his new Mum.

Yes, this guy is spoken for and will be going to live up in Scotland, I hope he likes snow!

He's going to live with the lovely friend who made my logo for me as a thank you.

Hope you enjoyed meeting him!

Off to the Post Office...

My ornament is being posted today, but it has a fair way to go!

Hope he has a pleasant journey!

Ornament Sneek Peak...

And that's all you're getting until he's arrived at his new home.......

Just a quickie...

Just a note really, to say I finished my Christmas Ornament bear tonight. He's super sweet and I'd love to keep him! I might post a sneak peek at him soon; But don't want to reveal him all, as it would spoil the suprise for the recipent if she saw it!

I am honoured to be sending a bear to this person as it is someone whose work I greatly admire, and hope they aren't too disappointed by my less than perfect creation!

Once I have confirmation that bear has arrived, I will post 'proper' pictures.

Suffice it to say, I will never, ever make a bear of this size or that pattern ever again. Never.

Mini bears were not designed to be double neck jointed, but somehow I pulled it off. It was difficult enough that I won't try that one again!

He's made of the most lovely Tyber synthetic though - and the good news is, I just managed to pick up some more on eBay tonight. I like to sit and just stroke it.... tehehehe.

It's nice to have finally finished a bear of my own design again.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to all my friends,

All around the world.

May your night be filled with frights and Fun.

Love Julia @ Emo Bears xxx

Vet visit update

Just a little update on our Vet visit today.

The vet was pleased with Stitch's progress as his wieght has remained stable since his last dental :-)

Just had to pick up some more pain killers, as my little man needs daily medication now to keep him eating, If he doesn't get his painkillers he eats around half the amount that he does on them. His roots cause him pain whilst he eats.

In himself he is fairly chirpy and happy just now. Long may it continue, and hopefully it will be a while before he needs another dental operation.

I have almost finished a bear!!! Although it is not one of my patterns, i wanted a little bear to put on my handbag, so I have gone with a Jenny Loves Benny twinkee pattern - although mine looks nowhere near as nice as one made by Jenny.

Despite following advice from all the lovely people at Teddy Talk Forum, I am still ending up with one nice tight eye and one looser *sigh*. Think i will have to experiment with where to tie it off - simply pushing and pulling with two people is not working for me at all.

Here is my handsome chunky boy before his dental problems.

I love You Stitch, no matter what. xxx
