Watch Bear City: Driving From Saturday Night Live - NBC.comIt has different size bears, too. I was thinking of using the pattern to make one for my granddaughter but after visiting this past weekend, she's pretty well set for bears.

Aww I love this!! I am partial to bears anyway, and what a great cause!!I'm parked at the weaving station when I'm in there lately.For someone like me who needs to be doing a lot of different things, it's absolute heaven. I've got plans to ask a few friends if they would like to do a RARE bear sewing party now that I have the room. I've got the pattern and applied to become a donor. It will probably have to wait until after the holidays but should be a nice winter diversion and be for a good cause at the same time.
Finished the towels although I screwed up somewhere along the way. It was supposed to make 3 towels but I was only able to get 2-1/2. There's enough length on the third one to use as a dishcloth, though, so not a total loss. Now need to make another set for my aunt but may try another pattern.
Beautiful skill and art.
Very nice! I like them!
Really like those. Great job!
Thanks! It's been fun getting back to weaving.
Beautiful work. Useful gifts are the best.
How very cool to sit and actually weave something! These are awesome!
Those are lovely
what I love about weaving (unlike crochet) is that the backside is just as nice as the frontside. When you get your full size weaving loom, you'll be able to make gorgeous throws The loom I have is 36" and there's a technique called double weave that allows you to make twice the width of the cloth you're weaving so would be able to make throws with this loom. I've never attempted it but it's on my to do list.Those are lovely
Those are beautiful! I've not attempted any sort of weaving since I was a kid and had one of those plastic weaving kits that made potholders. Well done!

just curious... how many craft projects are on your to do list?
It's more of a mental list than a written one but let's just say that I'm not sure I will ever get everything done as I'm adding more than I'm taking off the list because of how often I see more projects that I want to do. I count those as being on my to do list, too.
A lot! I have quite a few (no idea exactly how many) sewing projects cut out and ready to sew that are packed away. There are 6 quilts/throws that I can think of off the top of my head in various stages of completion. The needlepoint stocking for my granddaughter is ready to wash/block and then sew together. There are some jewelry projects for which I have beading started. Two of the gourds on the hutch need to be finished. Have I mentioned before that I will never be bored when I retire?
I drove my mother crazy growing up as she is one of those A-Z people who have to finish a project before they start another one. She would implode if she was living with me now. I used to be the type who had to finish one project before starting the next. Not anymore.
One step closer to completing my granddaughter’s quilt. All the squares have been sewn into rows. Next step is to sew all the rows together.
Look forward to seeing it finished!
