New pattern : a new pattern has been released on Etsy,Tabitha Pattern.

This is a pattern that will bring your own creativity to a new level,

Your creativity will be your only limit, but it will always give you a great bear.
The important feature in this creative pattern is a special filling; your teddy bear will be pose able.
You will need cotton thread and a crochet.

And....a new Teddy Bear Girl, Odelia

I spent 6 weeks to complete Odelia.

A long long process, but now, I think that she is beautiful.
Here a few pictures of her

Brittany arrived home, yesterday

Brittany, my teddy bear arrived home yesterday ; for the story, we went to Moncton, to deliver her to her new Mom... She was not at her office, so we let the bear in her office...

Here is what she wrote, when she met her for the first time....
"Hi Chantal,

She is beautiful.. so elegant and just what I was hoping for. I hope she has it for a lifetime and hands it down to her children, and their children afterwards."

If I understand very well, my little Brittany will become a family treasure.....

She is born on January 24th

Brittany is born ; I like her a lot, difficult however for an artist to like her work... but this one.... it took 2 weeks ..but the result is so good.
Brittany is a commission for a bithday gift..
Here the pictures, I took today ; tomorrow I will have more, but they are on my husband camera...

Rosalie, my new teddy bear creation

I am writing a new  pattern for the moment and I decided to present you the teddy bear prototype.

The teddy bear looks very simple, but there is a secret about the process applied to the teddy.

Soon the pattern will be published ; I think around September 15th.

A second teddy is nearly completed, so I tested the pattern applying other processes.

See you soon
