Tonight I was tossing and turning and decided to stop fighting it and just get up for a while. I've been up for an hour now, almost ready to head back for some sleep, but just have another picture or two to put here. It started out with just one...ended up with 10. Ah just my luck. I finally decided to post as many pics of my bears that I could find..figured it was about time.

Each one of these fur-babies come from my heart and soul. I hand stitch every one of them ... yes, that means I don't use a sewing machine of any kind. My little man (he's 8) has to hug every one of them when they are done. I don't make a lot of them, especially working full-time and being a single mom, but the itch to make another one is there. My favourite part of making these, aside from seeing the faces of those who are taking them home, it actually putting everything together and watching a personality develop. No matter how many I make with the same pattern, I have never had 2 come out exactly alike, even when I've used the same fur.

Time for me to get my furs, fake and otherwise, organized and handy...I can feel another teddy bear season coming on. Good night all. Sweet dreams
