This little bear has won my heart. I am finishing up another BIG bear (just over 6 inches) and find that I am thinking of my next little friend. Here are a couple of "up close" shots. The one of Little Bear rubbing his eyes I will call "Miss You" for all the friends I won't get to see at a bear show this year. Sadly, there is no show scheduled for Atlanta and I will dearly miss going there and seeing the friends I've made over the past 10 years.
