I designed and started stitching a new bear last night. It is a friends birthday a week from now and I am going to be giving it to her as a gift.

It is such fun doing bears again and I am really enjoying sculpting around the eyes and nose of my latest bear. It adds real depth of character to their faces.

My first grand child is due to be born any day now and I am going to make her a bear when she is born. Well, we have been told she is a girl, but, that was from an ultrasound at 18 weeks, so, I am going to wait to see if it is definitely a girl before I start on a teddy bear for her..............

Of course, I have bought heaps of pink clothes for the new baby, so, if by chance it is a boy, well, I guess I will be selling lots of brand new, pink baby clothes on Ebay. lol lol
