Odd Dotty

I have something to share! I make teddy bears, it's a very peaceful occupation. One that keeps me slightly sane.
A little about me and my therapy... er... ahem I mean one of my teddy bears.

His name is Ol' Plain and Brownish, because he is.

But don't let the fur fool you, this little guy is deep and thoughtful. Plain and Brownish he may be... but inside beats a poet heart. He feels deeply and applies his beautiful spirit to the wounds of the sad world, he is after all a teddy bear. It is his calling. He is about 8 inches tall, (half of this is his Ol' head!) I hand dyed the mohair, and the soft cashmere wool I used on his arms and legs.

I love creating teddy bears.

Buzzy Wuzzy Bee-Friended

Buzzy Wuzzy thinks someone might be following her.

"A-HA", says Buzzy as she whizzes around. "Were you trying to sneak up on me and sting me?"

"Oh, no!" says the bee. "Please don't squish me!!!"

"The flowers you wear are so pretty", says the bee, "that I just want to be your friend."

And the moral of the story is that a little honey will get you further in life than a little vinegar (a.k.a. a sting on the bee-hind).

I just finished this little set last night. This is a new pattern I started working on yesterday and I think she turned out to be a pretty cute Anime style bear. The little bee friend was an afterthought and the one you see pictured is my third as the other two were swiped by my twins. They've been busy flying them around the house!!!
