I have just completed Harriet, my demo/teaching bear from the workshop today. The demo bears usually spend several days with one ear, one leg and arm and half a face until I get round to finishing them, so I am quite please with myself to have actually finished.
O by the way...today's bears are all wearing rather lovely striped cashmere scarves. Nothing but the best here at Bower Hinton Bears!

Hokey is 60 years old this year. Happy Birthday Hokey!
