New Prim Bear

I'm delighted to bring you all another prim bear - I think I'm going to get addicted to these!! He's 13" from head to toe and I've had great fun making his 'paper' hat, which is actually tea stained cotton, once I had remembered how to fold one as I haven't made one since I was small!! I hope you like him!! His close up came out a bit dark as it was getting dark by the time I was ready to take photos today (where do the hours go....?) but it does show his colours and detail up so I thought I'd include them anyway. :O) Thanks for dropping by..... x

Well Hi!! And welcome to my new blog!! If you like Old Bears and prim things, we're going to get along just great!! I presently have Olde Bear on ebay, he's a smashing looking old fella and all a bit grungy!! Also keeping him company is 'Olde Friends' Raggedy Annie and Bear friends. I have plans for more prim bears and Annies so do please keep checking in!!

I'm also going to be making prim stitchery tags
