The Teddy Bear is the last toy that we part with. He is all that is left of that lost world where solutions seemed possible and a friend who saw no fault and made no reproach, waited forever in the old armchair.

I made these two bears that were really cute but I forgot to get a picture of either before I sold them :(

Sew it and sell it

On a mission to get rid of all the fur and material I have. I have a deadline of Valentine's 2011 'cause between Christmas and Valentine's, there is a much greater demand for bears.

A problem, however, is that I loooooooooooooooooove miniature bears and have a lot of material for miniature bears and they take so much longer to create. But I'm gonna have to do what I have to do.

Had not been able to get around to the little bears with football helmets until this past week. A sample out today at the Farmer's Market netted four orders. So I know what I am really pushing and making a priority this week.

A Teddy bear will always care. When all else fails hug your teddy. A teddy's heart is as big as his smile.

Found a disc from last year with some photos on it. I was working at Vanderbilt and I was featured in a university publication-- me and the bears.
That yellow one is a cutie, if I say so myself .
We were all photographed in the Civil Rights Room in the Nashville Public Library 'cause the story was also about my writing about the Civil Rights Movement in Nashville.
