Good Morning to you all

I hope it is warmer where you are - it was 12 above this AM at 5:30 and does not seem to be improving as the morning gets longer. The forcast is for more of the same, too - lows in single digits and highs in the 20's, plus snow by mid-week.

I tried combing out my new bunny - Teddy - last night as the poor guy had not been sheared last fall. He had a lot of mats that had to be cut out, but I got them all and was able to comb out some of the lesser tangles. He was very patient and did not even mind being upside down as long as his head was up against my chest. That boy has a LOT of fur, so we should have a good harvest of lovely grey angora in the spring.

My "unvent" of the bear pattern from the Mother Bear Project is going well. I've not had to "tweek" my original idea too much to make sure that it will produce a good bear that won't come apart on the children who receive one. I am hoping that the powers that be in the Project will OK the pattern for me. Here is another picture of my progress so far - one bear body with legs and one arm, sans head/face & some stuffing.
