Well, my daughter rang the other day and asked if I had lost a teddy leg. She had found it under one of her sofas when she took her trees and decorations down.
At least the mystery is solved and if I make another bear in the same colours I only need to make one leg :)
My next two Pud Bears are a 4" white sparse mohair and this little 6" pink tipped one. She has big blue eyes.
I also have a box full of old characters to clean up and mend. Here are a selection of them -
Half way there |
I have just looked at the bear with the sheepskin body and unstitched a few bits. Doesn't she look better? (I have decided that this bear is a girl).
'As nature intended' |
The left foot was missing so I have used some of the sheepskin to form a new one. I have only pinned it so far and you can just see the pin heads if you look carefully.
I still don't know what make she is, but with her contrasting muzzle I am thinking possibly German.
I will keep researching to try to find her maker.
You are getting quite a 'master' at this renovating stuff and they all look smashing - glad you found your leg!! So frustrating when that happens. I lost about 8 cards and couldn't find them anywhere till we decided to decorate and they were under the wardrobe at the back. Must have slid off the bed in their cellophane wrappers and just glided in under the wardrobe and hunkered down till much, much later when I found them again.
