I Just Want to be Your Teddy Bear

All but one of these cute and cuddley little bears have been made by Rose, so I guess she officially has a new hobby to add to her long list of creative talents. I think they are mostly made with German mohair (which I assume means mohair imported from Germany and not made from Germans, or the bears would all be standing to attention and in neat rows). They take hours and hours to cut from a pattern, sew, assemble, stuff, shape, and then they magically seem to come to life and make people smile and remember childhood. Apologies to Elvis for the post title ... he left the building anyway.
