The Three Bears

These are my newest bears...The green one is Vera and she is knit in one piece...I found her on Ravelry.  The red bear is Sweetie Bear and she is a favorite pattern of mine..Harry Bear......The multicolored bear is Blue Bear (named by my husband) she is knit with Red Heart Stripes in Breeze...Bubby Bear is the pattern name.   These guys will find their way to our local nursing home.

Buford and Pansy

I absolutely love Pansy.  I don't like working with the yarn though (boucle')  I think Pansy's face is what is so captivating.  Buford's head just doesn't seem to be stuffed enough..I stuffed Buford from the bottom up.  It was actually easier. Pansy was stuffed from the top down and her head is filled more.  I would tell you how many I have made but I lost count.  I am not very good at keeping track of what I make.  I just knit or crochet..

My Latest Love's Cuddles

I really do like this pattern.........Here are Bubba and Betsy bear

Almost forgot Bobbi Bear

I wish I could remember what size needle I used for her........She was knit with Lion Brand Cotton-Ease.

Sassy Bear

Sassy makes 15  bears I have made for our Local Nursing home...


This one was fast....Front and back each knit in one piece then sewed up.......Sassy was made with size 10 1/2 needles and Lion Brand wool-ease thick and quick that was donated for my bear project........I have enough to do another one just like it....It takes almost a full skein.......about 114 grams

Buddy Bear and Lester

Now aren't these guys cute?   Buddy (yellow) gave me a bit of a fit.  Don't really know why other than I am not used to making these bears in the round......Said I wouldn't make another one but I think I will.  These guys will be going to our Local Nursing Home

The Bears Were a Big Hit

Today was my first delivery of many at the Wiregrass Rehabilitation Center and Nursing Home

I was warmly met by their activities director Ms Brenda Whittle....She is a wonderful women with a great big heart.

Here are two recipients of a shawl and a wheelchair tote.....They were thrilled...The lovely lady who got the lapghan fell asleep and we didn't want to wake her for a photo.

And cuddly bears with their new owners.....You can see all the beautiful smiles...I am sure these ladies will enjoy their cuddly bears..

And last but not least is our resident crochet lady Ms Dot,  we will soon be starting a crochet and maybe a knit circle........

Ms Dot is anxious to get her supplies ready and start 'hookin' again....A lot of fun in the future.


If you would like to help with this ministry bears are always welcome plus lap robes mostly for the men.
