The Bears are Finished

January 26th, 2009

Friday night I worked hard, and I finished hand sewing the rest of the Bears. Now I have a big bag of bears to give to all of the Preschoolers in Thade’s class. Next I need to get to the store, so I can start making the Teddy Bear snack mix.

I’ve got one week left to get all of these bears sewn. So far I’ve finished 17, so I’m a little over half-way there. My hands hurt from all of this hand stitching though…

I hope to get the rest of the bears finished soon.

Bears, Bears, Bears

Yesterday was a very productive Bear day. While James was home for Lunch, I cut out all of the Girl Bears, and while Dylan took a nap, I sewed them all. This was a record for me 16 bears in 2 hours, not too bad.

Now I just need to turn them, stuff them. and sew them closed, and then we are good to go! I have a feeling these bears are going to get a lot of hugs, they are too cute.

Up to my Ears in Bears

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!
