azor. Oh boy, what a mess that makes! Bits of mohair fluff cover me and everything else in a four foot radius. Then begins the job of pinning and sewing, pinning and sewing. It's actually one of my favorite steps because I turn the music up really, really loud and just work away.

Warmest bear hugs and a lovely weekend to you!! Aleta

That's a great way to get your work/fun done! Love to see what the pink mohair will be??? Hmmmm!! Hugs, Linda
Hahahahah.... that's pretty cute. Look at all those little, neat, tidy, stacks of teddy bits and pieces ... lol .....
Im not sure how I found you but Im glad!I havent made a bear in 15 years...I thought it was a lost art..or I thought no one in oregon made them.I cant wait until I have a chance to really look at your back blogs and all the people you have on your list! Maybe I will get excited enough to pull out my mohair that has been packed away.Are there any shows where they sell supplies and such? I'm in Keizer. Hope you come over to my blog and visit me...I would love to find some fuzzy mohair to make my birds. Laurie
Hahaha! I can picture you dancing around your studio and not really working. That has been my mood today. I keep trying to get things done, but dancing seems to be more fun!
Good luck with those tiny little bears!
Love, B

Warm wishes
