Teddy Bear Runway

[susandennis]

I still have the first two teddy bears I made.  They used to live on the ottoman that is now my dining room chair.  When I moved the latest TB batch, I noticed that the early ones were not nearly as stuffed as the latest ones.

Somewhere over all the months of teddy bearing I have been increasing the stuffage.  I did notice that I'm going through my 10 pound bags of fill more quickly lately.

So I made the latest one a Jarred.  Minimal stuffing.  He's on the left there.  Pudgy, on the right, was the one before him.  I can't figure out if skinny is better...  I think it might be.  I think I'm going to stuff the next ones less, maybe.

Now it's time for the chore of the day.  Taxes.  I have nearly everything pulled together but I need to review it and get it ready to take to the accountant.  If you get your stuff in before February 28, you get a price break.  At least that's what the letter in his tax kit says.  And I want to get the junk out of here and find out what the damage is going to be so I can plan for the payment.

Having had a bit of experience in the teddy bear usage front lately I can speak from experience.

It is my opinion that a more firmly stuffed bear is better for active play and a softer bear is better for cuddling. It's not that one is any better than the other, just that they're better for different uses.

IMHO

Interesting! And that makes very good sense. And your teddy bear opinion is way more valuable than most since your test team is more in line with my target market :)

They are so cute! I'm still at the stage of scarves. :) (Well, as soon as I find my needles and yarn again.)
