Update 2

Like I wrote with the previous picture: I have updates!

 

For the last 3 months I have been putting my bears up for sale on one of the Dutch online Marketplace (marktplaats.nl) - and, perhaps not entirely unexpected, they do sell. Not fast (it is not a big hobby here), but my shelve is almost empty now and mis them. So now I am working on new ones! And I simply love seeing how they are coming together. I hope I can make them in such a way that they really 'look at you'.

The purple one is a new design, meant to become a hare? I like its body, but I am not sure about the head yet. We'll see.

 

The other part of my resolution (finishing things before getting more new things) means that I want to work through a bit of my mohair stash - maybe put the money coming from the bears into finishing my bjd's? (I have 4 huge boxes full of mohair, enough to make maybe 200? bears)

 

So adding to my work list for February and March:

- finish these bears and critters

- make pictures! (to be seen here too)

- work on the design for the hare

- cut out 3 new ones for sewing - maybe another big rat, bear and a big mouse? Or a hare?

 

And a resolution? : buy only what is needed to fill and make joints. Do not buy more mohair! :)

And that is difficult one. I went to Tierlantijntje this morning to get filling and stuff and I did manage it: I did not fall into temptation. Have you ever been at a place with a lot of mohair? That is temptation! I can not stop myself from touching and wanting more of that fabric.

 

Maybe I should try and use mohair for a piece of clothing for a bjd? Any suggestions?
