I've been busy, trying to get some things made up for the Christmas season
I call these little guys "Buns". They are made much
like my other
sock dolls, but using only one sock per doll. Their faces are painted on and the paint is non toxic and permanent, so it is washable and safe for children of all ages....
Buns have cottontails too! 
And here is my first knitted teddy bear, using the pattern i bought from the Mother Bear Knitting Project. I just finished him last night. I am hoping that the more i make, the faster they will make up. My intention is to send them to the main office for shipment to an African country, to children in orphanages who are suffering from HIV/Aids... For more info, click here But for now, i might just see if i can sell a few, with the profits going to the project for shipping and operational costs.
maybe i'll make him a matching hat too!
This little sweetie is one of the recipients of the Mother Bear project... Any knitters out there want to help? They have a pattern for crochet too! Their motto is: "Make a Bear-Make a Difference"
I finished another bear using the pattern i got from The Mother Bear Knitting Project.
Except this time, i adapted the pattern a bit, and am giving her as a gift to my sister in law Annie... Annie is my age, but has Alzheimer's Disease. She is non verbal and is pretty much getting around in a wheelchair now. I am sure this little bear will get plenty of hugs and love from her new owner...
My brother Bob requested a hat and scarf for her to keep her warm, and we chose bright colors and used interesting soft yarn, with lots of textures for her to explore...
I want to wish all of my blog friends a Very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa...Whatever your celebrations may be, i hope you are at Peace, and surrounded by your Loved Ones during the Holiday Season....
