I got the instructions for this little friend, via How About Orange, here. I didn't make it right away though. I just stored the idea away in the ol' noggin.Then I read this post from my friend Jessica's blog. She expressed frustration re: crap toys from China or those contaminated with lead, etc. And BOOM the motivation hit me and I had to make a little teddy for her daughter Frannie right. that. minute. That's how motivation often hits me. (It also helped to know that her sister was sending her a care package in a couple days so I could sneak it in.)
And that's what I did. It's a cute little bear. It only took an hour to make and I did most of it on the couch watching TV. I think it would make a nice gift topper on the present for a baby shower of something. I'll be keeping it in mind.
By the way - those of you who know my friend Staci - on December 13th, she had a lovely baby boy, Phineas Noah (to be called Finn). I don't have the stats on me right now, but I believe she said he was 7lbs, 8 oz and that kid came 2 weeks early. He wanted to be home for Christmas. Mother and Baby are doing just fine. Congrats Staci!!!

Really!! Ooh, Franny is going to LOVE that bear!! She has a fondness for bears. We will act surprised when the parcel arrives!!
Congratulations to your friend! Thank goodness for her that he came early. Phineas is such a great name. I keep telling Josh that if we ever had a boy I wanted a Finn. Maybe short for Finley.
