Made it to my second-best target! 91 bears in 2011 - not quite as many as I'd hoped, but certainly an improvement on last year. Unfortunately, I haven't got a photograph of two of them... but I have made 91 - honest! The two missing bears are mentioned at the end of this post.
In the past couple of days, I have finished up a bear and two mammoths. Here's the bear: Benji
And here are the mammoths: Deliah and Agatha...
So, of the 2011 bears, there are 19 mini bears...
...14 Cheeky-style bears...
...14 mammoths...
... 6 mohair mammoths...
... 11 realistic bears (ahem, the pink bear in the middle is supposed to be realistic in design, if not in colour)...
... 3 OOAK character bears...
In 2012, the big thing is that I really really need to improve my work rate. I'm back to my 100 bears target - although, of course, anything above that would be great. I would like to come up with some new designs, and particularly, to develop the realistic bears more. I would also like to put a bit more work into seasonal items, sell some bears for charity, and brush up on the presentational stuff. And, once and for all, I am going to get the website sorted out!
As for me, I am going to get fit this year (yes, I know, that was a resolution last year as well), and develop some hobbies - so lots of cooking, reading, visiting of historical places, and going to hear live music!
