Some of my earlier creations were made from patterns by other artists and will be stated in the description of the individual bear. All my bears are made with an abundance of love and attention to detail. Most of my bears are collector bears and most are not meant to be used as toys and again I will make note with each individual bear. My Bears are created to bring a warm fuzzy feeling to your heart and make you smileJanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04663438456284940330noreply@blogger.comBlogger10125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414855154413449755.post-1270595191793850652011-06-03T21:53:00.000-07:002011-06-03T21:53:04.366-07:00Bears for SaleI have listed several of my bears on my Selling blog http://burntwoodsmerchantile.blogspot.com<br />

I have been doing so many other things then building my bears. It's not that I don't love making them but have been so overcome with enthusiasm for my punch needle work that it just seems that everything has sort of gone to the back burner so to speak.<br />
I am going to have to spread myself out a bit more so that I stay involved with all my favorite things and bear making is one of my favorites.<br />
I don't have any serious plans for my next bear but I know that I am just going to have to jump in with both feet and get going.<br />
So my next posting will show what I have chosen to create.<br />
I apologize for abandoning my post for so long. I will<u> try </u> not to let it happen again.<br />
I am also reopening my selling blog so keep an eye out for that also. I will let everyone know when it is open again in about a week.<br />
Thank you all for being ever faithful and checking in now and then. You are my true friends.<br />

I, like everyone else, have just been running in so many different directions. I need to make two bears but I am in need of mohair as I have ran out of funds. So, I have decided to make them out of a silky fabric from Joannes. I have some white and some black so I think that they will like them just the same. I guess its just me that it bothers as I feel the need to give them the best but I know that it won't bother them. They are both cheerleaders in Texas and as most folks know cheer-leading is a major big thing in Texas. I guess that most of the girls have cheer bears that have the colors of there schools. So what I have decided to do is to make scarfs with the school colors.<br />
The previous post is a sample of one of the bears that is made with the fabric from Joannes. I think he is pretty cute, I just wish that I had the white mohair to use instead.Janhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04663438456284940330noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414855154413449755.post-88241928197108773172010-11-10T10:40:00.000-08:002010-11-11T19:57:42.547-08:00My newest addition<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

Yes I know he's not a bear but he is never the less a part of the group. He is my wolf in sheeps clothing and if you look close you can see on his scarf that he keeps a tally record of his sheep. Hehe I think they make a great group.<br />
I am making the same in a chenille so I will see how that turns out<br />

I just finished a new teddy but he doesn't have his character or name yet. I just finished his mouth and I need to polish up his nose and dress him in his best Harvest Attire. Hum.... Is he a he or his it a she. See. I am still undecided about that too. That is the fun part of being a creator of critters.<br />

We had 27 entries and I wish that could award 27 teddy bears but unfortunately that can't be done.Thank you all so much for your interest and I hope you will continue to follow as if there is one thing I like to do more then making teddy bears is to host giveaways. So be sure to check in regularly so you won't miss out on some cool Christmas giveaways.<br />
So ......... with out further ado......... the winner is........... name please........<b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Diane from Lavender Dreamer! ! ! !</span></i></b>. Congratulations Diane and I probably have it but would you please email me your address so I can be sure that Mr Thomas reaches his destination safe and sound. All of his fellow Teddy bear friends will miss him but they all know that he is going to be loved and hugged and that is all that a Teddy Bear wishes for and if I know Diane right, he will have lots of Dollies to play with.<br />
Bug hugs Diane and Congratulations.<br />

I have started over before and I guess I will do it again.<br />
To begin with I will bring one of the earliest bears that I did and that was<br />
Johnny B. He went to live with a good friend of mine that needed a smile.<br />
