Up to my Ears in Bears

January 12th, 2009

This month I will be co-hosting a preschool party, and I thought it would be nice to have a little present to give to all of the kiddos in Thade’s class. At first I made a big list of give away items that I could order, and then I took one look at just how much it would be to ship all of these items, and I decided I could come up with something better.

I gathered up all of my fabric, I decided to make Teddy Bears for all of the kiddos. I be pairing the bears with a little treat bag of M&M’s or maybe Teddy Grahams. I think the bears will be adorable, but I’ve got a lot of sewing and stuffing to get done before the end of the month.

Yesterday I sewed 16 Boy bears, and I’ve got to cut and sew 16 Girl bears soon. I’ve got to make another run to the store for stuffing too. I hope to have some more pictures of the bears in progress soon. Back to the sewing machine!

    Holy smokes, that’s a ton of bears!!! I’m sure the kids will love them, what kid doesn’t love a bear?

    I’ll come over tomorrow and help you stuff them lol. But only if you come over and help me wash walls in my kitchen lol.

    Thanks Shaunna! I hope the bears turn out well, so far I’ve got them all cut and ready to go to the sewing machine. I think the Teddy Grahams would be cute with the bears too. Hope you are doing well, and I hope that Sheldon is feeling better today,

    Thanks Ellie! I just hope I can finish this project, I have a feeling I’ll be stuffing bears for hours on end, but I think it will be a lot of fun. I’m thinking about making a Teddy Grahams snack mix to go with the bears, I just hope that the kiddos like them :)

    Can I go back to preschool and have you as one of the cool mommies? They are going to love your bears and treats!

    Thanks Stacey! You just made my day :) I hope that the kiddos like the bears, and I’ve got a recipe in mind to make for a Teddy Grahams snack mix. I think the preschool party will be a lot of fun!

    Thanks Heather! I’ve been using my new sewing machine around the clock, and it has definitely been handy with all of the bears :)
