the ears on the next bear are just NOT happenin'!
The idea was to make the ears "different" (ok, how many different styles of ears can you put on a bear and still have it at least vaguely resemble a bear?!), so I drew up the pattern (way back when I started on this guy, probably 2 months ago), cut them out, sewed them up --- all the usual yada yada......
then came the realization yesterday as I was FINALLY ready to stitch them on, that they were WAY too big....we're talking Mickey Mouse big....no, Sally Field's Flying Nun big...he looked like he was ready to launch (and I considered launching him across the room!!)
So, I restitched the ears about 1/4 inch inside the old stitching line, retrimmed and tried again......nope, still wrong
at that point I decided to apply my usual tactic....set him back in the basket and think about it a while....something will come to me.....I just hope it happens before I need to be packing up these critters to go to Kansas City!!
maybe today will be better
