i didn't disappear...

but i wouldn't blame anybody for thinking such a thing. my camera program is still installed on our "retired" laptop and so everytime i am on the computer and think about updating my blog, i say to myself "i don't feel like it right now since i have to get out the other laptop, so i will do it tomorrow" and of course the proverbial tomorrow never comes. so i'm doing it today, better late than never.
i have a few new projects, some which are surprises though, so this is the only one i can share right now. one of my friends just added a little boy to her family and this bear had to come along. it's a debbie bliss bear pattern that i've been wanting to try, a lot smaller than my other favorite bear pattern (see my february 28th post), but still big enough to squeeze well. washable and dryable if necessary.i am headed to my little brother's wedding in salt lake in a few days, and hopefully will be finished with and be able to post my other projects upon return... until then.
