“Pick me! Pick me!”

I tweaked one of my favorite patterns. It was an experiment to see if the changes I made were worth repeating/keeping.

I decided to make the bear in a fairly traditional color initially to see how it would hold up without any unique features to distract from the design.

This is how far I have gotten on this little 5 inch ted. He or she is one of several projects in the works.

And with a ton of ideas sitting on the sidelines shouting “Pick me! Pick me!” I am trying to have some self-control, stay focused, and disciplined. Yeah, it’s okay. I’m laughing too.

    1. Hi Prudence,

      I am glad you approved of the color - you are an expert after all - being a bear yourself!

  3. Like the traditional face, looks like a him. I hope he gets picked soon.

    1. Hi Bonnie,

      You may be right - perhaps it is a him. It's quite a cheering crowd - sometimes it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease!

      Thanks so much,

    1. Hi Worried in Glasgow,

      You can rest easy - I don't pick 'on' them - ha ha! I just 'choose'. It's just that choosing what to do next can be quite the decision!

      Thanks for your concern from,

    1. Hi Sheila,

      Thanks you! I'm glad you like it so far. I guess I really should get to sewing - it can be disconcerting to have too many body-less faces or headless bodies of which there's a couple right now. . .

  6. Yikes! a bodyless, earless bear. That takes me back to Katy's horror show, when she went through step by step how a bear got bearthed. I daren't show Louie, he'd be very upset, and you can't leave a cute face like that without the rest of him.
    Hugs,

    1. Hi Jock,

      You are so right! He shall not be left without the rest of him. I hope the visuals weren't too traumatic for you - perhaps this blog should have a rating for sensitive bear eyes? Anyway, thank you for stopping by to alert me to the possible effects of bear making reality.

      Have a bit of honey and hot tea and take a deep breath. It will be okay I hope.

      hugs,
