The current bear I'm working on, it's a newby, I think I will call him Peabody. I would have loved to finish him earlier but when I started on him, I hadn't checked if I had the current joints to make him whole and put him together, and I didn't and you can only get them from teddy supply places. Silly me, do you ever do that? I do it constantly, start on something and realise that you don't have all the stuff or tools to finish/make it and there you are left mid project wanting to finish it and waiting not very patiently by the mail box.
Also on my couch, at the back is the bottom have of little Wally one of my old steiff guys. I think his just keeping me company and checking out I do things right.
OK I sort of wanted to say something, I seem to be upsetting a few people with my bear body parts, which is very sweet that they see life and soul in bears, but the thing is i haven't taken them apart, in a way the bears have not even be born yet really. I don't want to sound harsh, but it is sort of like quilt blocks or something or perhaps like when you see a babies ultrasound, or something . I don't mean to upset anyone and if people do find it too distressing I will stop, for those of you who know me, know I'm not trying to distress and upset people. I'm not doing it to shock, I make bears and putting them together is part of it.
Anyway thank you to our lovely host Kirst, check out her site, she is truly inspiring and amazing in her creativity and craftiness.

Hello there Jess! Great to see you last night. Your dear bears are so sweet how could anyone think you would treat them badly. You bring them to life with such love! I always start things and dont have everything to finish...but thats often when I just make it up ; )
Happy bear making!
Oh and I like the name Peabody too : )
Yes, yes Peabody is a perfect name Jess.
Hahaha. Silly me thought a dog had chewed your little teddy until I read on.
your bears are beautiful, such personalities.
Thank you so much!
Ah Peabody. He will grow up to be an astounding perso...er bear.
Oh yes, I do know about missing a necessary bit of a project. Then I sometimes have the reverse. I buy something for x,y or z and then wonder later what in god's name was THIS meant for??? Googling does help for the latter.
I'm so glad that you decided to keep showing your in progress bears after our disscussion at brown owls. You're so cute! And your bears are lovely :)
