New Booh Bear!

It's been several years since I've used loc-line in one of my creations and it's been a while since I've made a 14" bear, too!  My latest little bear features both of these anomalies!  Joufflu (meaning chubby in French) is made of a vintage Tissavel (from France) luxury faux fur coat.  It's the prettiest color - pure white with black tips scattered throughout.  I placed the pattern pieces in such a way that her face would be mostly white with a few black tips by her smile, above her nose and by her temples!   Her loc-line neck gives her the cutest poses!   For my teddy bear artist friends, you can find beautiful vintage Tissavel faux fur coats on eBay.  They make the softest bears!
I hope you have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
Hugs & Blessings,
Janice

Neglectful Blogger!

Oh goodness, it's been way too long since I've posted to my blog!  I've created a few new Booh Bears and Friends since the end of May and my last post!  We've been on a couple getaways, one to Michigan and one to Colorado but I'm home for at least a couple months now!  I have lots of ideas to start  and hope to be posting more over the next couple months than I have in the past couple months!   Have a wonderful day!
Hugs & Blessings,

A teeny little Booh Bear!

It took two weeks, but I finally finished my tiny little bear!  Tiny Dancer is made of viscose and every stitch was hand sewn.   She is one of the tiniest bears I've ever made (I think 2" was my tiniest) and once I began making her, I realized why I don't make them this small very often!  They are so fiddly  :o)    But, I feel the finished wee girl was well worth all the fiddling.  I hope you like her as much as I do.   Tiny Dancer is on her way to Mississippi!  I'm sure she will love it there!
Have a blessed and happy weekend!
Hugs,
Janice
