I didn't know they made teddy bear kits. I got my patterns out of hard cover books. After that first one, I advanced to movable heads, arms and legs, miniatures, etc. Haven't made any for awhile now. Hope Ryleigh's bear turns out beautifully.

Funny thing about my daughter and creativity. She had absolutely no interest in crafts of ANY kind until she was grown. I always tried to get her interested in SOMETHING creative. I had always been handy enough with stuff like that myself, but she was never interested. Then all of a sudden she just blossomed into a very creative person and has made some wonderful things. I'll post some samples later, but gotta go now. She's on her way over with her beau and we'll visit and order pizza and maybe watch the Rangers/Yankees game (if I have MY way.)
