Good morning??? I've been up since 5:45 a.m. today, I promised a friend I'd call her and wake her up at 6:30. She's hard of hearing and the phone ringing wakes her up. That was accomplished and instead of going back to sleep, I got up. It's now 8:14 a.m. and I am dressed and my day is planned. I went into my walk-in closet to hang up my robe and looked at all the faux fur jackets, coats, and vests hanging there waiting for me to take them apart for bears, well I decided that today would be a great work day. I took them off the hangers and stacked them in the livingroom/work room so I can start working on them. Around 9:30 a.m. I'm going to catch the bus and go to the grocery stores and pharmacy. That will take a little time, but it will be a nice break from dissecting the coats, jackets, vests etc. Besides I need a couple items, including some Temptations cat treats for the brats. Anyhow, it is going to be nice to be busy. I've got some great faux furs to work on and get ready for the next process, tracing my patterns on them and then cutting out the pieces...I'll post the processes as they progress. I've been sitting idle too long and it's gotten to me, so back in "harness" and working on the bears. Fortunately, the apartment manager isn't holding inspection the apartment is going to be a furry MESS!!!! Mom used to hate my doing the tracing and cutting (well also the dissecting too). The house would be a hairy mess for days. The vacuum cleaner would fill up with the tiny pieces of fake fur-I'd have to empty the bag countless times. Of course, the one thing that will interrupt the work is a large ginger tabby roosting on my lap, taking a nap. Sigh, I'm a sucker for my critters. The picture is of my livingroom and work room with the stack of garments that I'll be dissecting. I'm anxious to work on the rainbow-colored jacket to see how the bears turn out. Have a wonderful day, and I'll post a picture of the stack of fake fur pieces.

You have quite a situation. Bits of fake fur blowing around would probably affect my allergies. I love your critters. I've seen some of your work before.

@celticeagle....I've totally forgotten to let my imagination run wild. With all the things that have happened in the past 5 years I kind of shut down that side of me and become a bore. Thank you for reminding me about that fun side of me.

I wouldn't work on the real furs if you were here. The fake fur is clean when I work on it. I came up with a new line of bears today while I was trying to do my grocery shopping and pick up my prescriptions... they will be called "Bus Stop Bears". They're going to be around 3 inches tall because they have to be hand sewn. I'll be carrying them with me to work on while I wait for the bus or if I'm riding on the bus. They'll be only done in Mohair fabric as the acrylic fur is too thick to try to hand sew. I came up with that idea after a Starbucks coffee...

That does look like quite a big heap. It will look much better when it’s a box of finished bears .

As soon as I get to the stack. I got coat halfway done and the neighbor man came by to have me help him with his computer problem. I just got home from working on it for 2 1/2 hours. I will be headed down to catch the bus to do my shopping in about 40 minutes then I'll get back to the heap. I did get a cute photo of Jonesy laying on the heap catching some sun. Anyhow, I am going to try figuring out his problem before I catch the bus. It keeps reading "No internet connection" and he says he has internet...so it might be a problem with his computer, my laptop worked perfectly online in his apartment. It will be very relaxing to get the furs ready for the next step. A huge plus is that it will keep me off my ankle for quite a while. Have a wonderful weekend, hugs.

@BearArtistLady do you have experience working on computers? It frustrates me so bad when I have computer problems.

I'll enjoy doing the work on the fur. It also will keep me off my feet for a while, my ankle will thank me I'm sure.
