a special project

I just finished a special order bear for a lady whose husband had passed. She sent me his favorite raincoat and asked me to make a bear out of it. I used the buttons down the front, part of the collar and the cuff tabs and here is how he turned out. I hope she loves him.

baking bears

Well, my poor husband comes home today and walks into the kitchen saying "mmmmmm, something smells great.  What are you baking?"
He should know better by now.
He pulled the oven open and found
3 antiqued, distressed, dipped bears baking in the oven to give them that "dirty" look.  My Prim recipe is coffee, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon - so it smells great.
