Caroling Bears

So, sometime in high school I picked up this little brown bear at Michaels and made a little costume for it to give my mom for her birthday. She liked it so much that it became a tradition, and I have since made many more little bear outfits. A second bear eventually joined the first. I thought I'd actually take a picture of some of their seasonal gear and share them here.

These are caroling outfits. Originally there was a little book of sheet music too, but I couldn't find it, and had to take the picture without. Everything the bears are wearing was designed and created by me, mostly sewn by hand. The gentleman bear is holding a tray of hot chocolate and baked goods, and the lady is carrying a lantern, both made of sculpey.
