I got my blogs mixed up yesterday. Posted on elscountrymakes.blogspot.com that I would be posting some bears, made from an older pattern, that I would not be making from, as I now had a new pattern. These bear were to be posted at reduced prices to make way for the new bears, of which I posted earlier this morning, so sorry for the mix up.
I have been taking stock of my way with the bears, I shan't be doing big bears anymore, or really fluffy one's, only if I am specifically asked for that type.
My bears have changed over the years, & they do say a change is as good as a rest, I really enjoy making the bears for jenny-handmadehappiness.blogspot.com because I don't make that type of bear for anyone else. Jenny loves that look & they are made exclusively for her lovely shop.

I would like to introduce you to Chesney. He's a 7" bear made from a lovely golden plush, very reminiscent of the old vintage bears. He also has soft leather pads. I have also finished two bears for jenny-handmadehappinees.blogspot.com Just have to photograph them & run them past her, & then I can show them to you all.

It's been very quiet on the bear front lately. I have been giving bear making a bit of a rest!!!!
Well sort of, I've been making a couple for a shop in Petersfield, Hampshire, jenny-handmadehappiness.blogspot.com This lovely lady has the most beautiful shop full of handmade
stock. Check out her blog.
I, on the other hand, have been enjoying my new "art". A bit of decoupage, a bit of mixed media collage
& generally spending too much time on Pinterest, it really is quite addictive.
Will eventually get round to posting pics of Jenny's bears when they are finished.
