Hi everyone
I have been working on a new design
for the bears
and have finally finished a few.
I wanted to make a slightly bigger bear
and also wanted to make them more heavy weighted
with a fluffy tummy.
This first one is Marga.
She´s 5 inch and made of a handdyed pale pink sparse mohair.
She´s wearing a sweet bow round her head.
This sweet one is Linux - also 5 inch
and with a little fabric collar round his neck.
I hope you can see their fluffy tummys on the photos.
They are both listed on my website along
with a few more bears:
**********************************
And now for the giveaway.
As this is my 10 years of bear making anniversary
I have made a little bear to giveaway to one of my followers and blog readers
Please meet
Simon
Simon is also just 5 inch and made from my new design.
He´s made of a golden sparse mohair
and have been slighly aged to look old and well loved.
He´s fully cotterpin joined
heavy weighted with a fluffy tummy too.
I made him a little pair of trousers
with tiny buttons and straps.
If you would like to win this
sweet little bear
all you have to do, is to leave a comment
on this blog post
I will draw a winner on
May 24th
Thank you so much for visiting today
and I wish you all a wonderful day
Tina ♥♥♥

Поздравляю! Очень хочу поучаствовать.
I fell in love at first sight, did you here my sigh? Especially as it was just Mother's day. He so reminds me of my only child, Doyle. Thrilled to spend time with him on sunday,at twenty five to it is challenging to get his time.
He was that little boy all through school carrying ALL his school books and his violin. An adorable book worm, just short of wearing pocket protector.
hugs,
Karen
Oh, I love your sweet bears and this one is such a cute size! And look at that face...it melts my heart! That's my oldest son's birthday so I'll keep my fingers crossed! Thanks! ♥

Congratulations on ten years of bear making Tina. Your new design is so appealing. I love the feel of a small weighted bear in my hand, makes them seem more 'life like' to me, and fat little tummies are adorable.

Simon is a beautiful little fellow!
His fluffy tummy and trousers make his look so sweet.
Tharina
Hi Tina - WOW 10 years making bears - congratulations! Your bears are beautiful and Simon is no exception but I think he has over eaten and h
is belly is popping so much so he has to loosen his trousers (LOL)!
Do you think he would like to live in Australia with me? I am quite a new follower but would love to be included in your draw.
Many thanks Tina,
Suzy
Wow, Tina, 10 years is wonderful! Time flies, doesn't it? At least you have been able to work doing your passion, which I'm sure has been most satisfying and enjoyable to you. Little Simon is as sweet as can be. Thank you for offering such a treasure. ; )

Simon is adorable and just the right size to bring around. i used to have a bear i took with me as i travelled and he got lost in new york. i cried like someone died when i realized he was gone! if i win simon maybe he can be me travel companion!
Hoi Tina, I think that little Simon has a "giegel-buikje" in Duth. What means a little belly filled with little laughters. He makes my smile! Greetings from Holland, Jeanet
oh, my,,,,how do you put such cute personalities in there faces? you are truly talented!!!
please enter me for this sweetie!
I love your little Simon, I am amazed at the tiny little bears you make that are so perfect! Your bears are also dear with their bits and bobs of crocheted lace and fabric that has been repurposed for thier clothing. I have been very inspired by looking at your bears. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Alisa @ 'life is a beautiful place to be' says:
I just wanted to tell you, that I didn't think your little bears could have gotten any cuter than they were, but I think they did! Love the new design (and the plump little bellies!)

10 YEARS!! Did it seem to fly by as you created each darling little teddy and send them off to new, loving homes? And how many sweet little ones would that be? Warmest congratulations on this milestone. And now a new design....little Simon, so precious in his trousers. I would promise to give him a proper home and lots of love if I were to be so lucky to have my name drawn.
many tiny bear hugs ~ Rella
