Kaylee the Tear Bear

Meet the newest addition to my tear bears. My daughter was getting upset that I was making all these cute bears and giving them away on cards. So I made one especially for her. I think she looks darling in her pink and white gingham outfit. I actually used some tulle from the slip
that I wore on my wedding day to accent the top. These bears are very addicting.

Felicity the Fairy Bear

My daughter's boyfriend asked me if I'd make a card for his mother for Mother's Day. (He actually asked me what I would charge for a card - LOL - like VISA homemade cards are priceless!)

His mom loves fairies so I thought this cute "Tear Bear" fairy bear would be perfect. She was the smallest one that I have made so far, and I am finding out the smaller the harder! She was fun to make though and I am happy with the way she turned out!

Beatrice in her Buggy

My second Tear Bear (and last) for today. Again, I plan on using this somehow in a baby card for another co-worker. (If there is something in the water, I don't want any - LOL)

I think I'd change the buggy a little next time, maybe make it a little deeper???

I used a pattern from "606 Paper Piecing Patterns" and imported to Inkscape, then made pattern pieces to cut in Sure-Cuts-A-Lot. (Sure is a lot of work too!!)
I am having tons of fun though...and that's what really matters!

Stella and her Snuggie

Okay...so I swore I wasn't going to get addicted to Tear Bears....yeah, right!!! Pretty soon my family is going to sign me up for CA (Craft's Anonymous!)

Here is sweet little Stella. She will be part of a baby shower card for a co-worker. Of course the card part is yet to be finished and I'll post a pic of that when done. She was really fun to make!

Meet Clarice

Okay so now paper piecing has me trying my hand at making Tear Bears - Clarice, (I always name my creations), was my very first try. She's all dressed up and ready to go. Tear Bears are fun to make but also a lot of work to get them to look half way decent, (and I am rather a stickler for a nice looking project) - but I think she came out rather cute. I will definitely try another - though I'm not sure that this will become one of my growing addictions! Let me know what you think!!
