How Goes the Work ??

Progress Report :

Well , it is a bit slow with my Hugglets bears .... but at least I've got most of their little faces on , so that their bodies are not too far behind , having already been stuffed . I have got a lot more to do on the hamsters , and I may have to cross my fingers that I get them finished at all ! Pesky little rodents ...

Of course , not having a holiday would've helped (sewing-wise at least) but then I wouldn't have had the pleasure of criss-crossing the country - Peak District to Somerset - taking in such delights as Chatsworth House , Clifton Suspension Bridge , the S.S.Great Britain , Roman Baths (again this year - whoopee !) on our tour of Bath , with ultra-civilised lunch at The Pump Room , and Longleat safari park and house .... not to mention the fantabulous production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Iolanthe" which the 3 of us so enjoyed at Buxton Opera House ...... pheeeewwwww !!! There's a lot to be said for compressing summer in to a week - and quite a bit more on the subject of all those hotel breakfasts ;when inclusive stuff yourself like you habitually eat that much in the mornings ! Hmmmm , about half a stone more to be said probably - LOL !


Anyway , time is flying on and after so much gadding about I must get back to my needles .
Just time to say a big , heartfelt "Thank you" to Elanor over at Shantock Bears for passing me the Uber Amazing Blog Award - I am so delighted to receive this from such a lovely lady and her beautiful bears and friends :0)

My God Ruth! You're bearing looks so organised and neat...nothing like the mess I get into! :)
I'm looking forward to seeing your finished wee bears with all their trimmings.

Hiya !
Can't wait to see you again Tina :0)

Sandi - the pic doesn't show any "overflow" boxes !!

Pauline - you're so sweet :0) I have loads of little tray/boxes , and I (try)to keep all the right bits with each bear ... although I do still lose the odd ear LOL ! It's the most annoying thing isn't it when you have to get the material out just to cut one more ear again ! :0)
Huggies ladies xx

oh, how cute they all look in their little compartments.... a perfect way to keep all the bits together for sure.... I should invest in a few trays...baggies are okay...but....nyehhh they don't look nearly as professional.
