I still have several of my oldest stuffed animals, most of which were made by hand for me by my mom when I was young. The only one not hand made is a red wiener dog i call uncle Bryan, after the fellow that have him to me when I was a babe.

Since I have been made an uncle in the past two months twice over, I decided to give bear making a shot for the two rug rats that are now around. This first fellow is a bit rough around the edges, but that gives him character I suppose.

Fake fur is a bitch to sew.
