Almost a Bear

I've been working on this bear since before Christmas.  I decided to sew it all by hand.  I finished the stuffing and jointing on Friday night.  W3 helped me with some of the cotter pins.  I was all set to do his face, when I discovered that I don't have the correct size of glass eyes in my teddy bear tool box!  I ordered extra eyes on Saturday morning.



Profile shot.  No ears yet (they go over the threads from the eyes).  Can't do the nose or mouth until I see how the eyes look.  So, my faceless bear must wait.  You might be able to see the threads that mark where everything goes (according to the pattern, anyway!).
