 I finally managed to catch up a little on my crocheting of bears. I managed to complete both last week's and this week's bears, and here they are.

Comfort Bear No 10 for this year

Comfort Bear No 11 for this year

I have also corrected the numbering of my bears. It seems that I was out by 2 the last couple of weeks.

That's all I have for you today. Until next time, have a good one.

Friday FOs - 26.03.2021

 I have one finished onject this week and here it is.

Comfort Bear No 9 for this year

Another bear redy for service.

I didn't get the blanket finished for this week. I still have a few ends to sew in. It is taking a bit longer than I expected because I keep getting interupted to help someone with the project that they are working on, but then that is what I get paid to do.

That's all I have for you for this week. Until next time, have a good one.

Richard.

Edited to correct numbering of the bear. 

Due to needing to show someone how to do a particular pattern and forgetting to take what I had done of the bear that I had started the previous week, it took me two weeks to make a bear instead of the two days it normally takes. Hear is the bear that I started two and a half weeks ago.

Comfort Bear No 8 for this year

I have stared another bear this week but haven't finished it yet so you shoould get to see it next week.

I have also almost finished a blanket from squares donated to the Arts Cratts and Activities Group where I teach crochet so I hope to be able to show off that next week also.

That's all from me for now. Until next time, have a good one.

Richard.

Edited to correct numbering of the bear.

It seems that I have been a bit negligent with my posting lately and haven't shown off my finished objects for the last three weeks. Here they are.

Comfort Bear No 5 for this year

Comfort Bear No 6 for this year

Comfort Bear No 7 for this year

And there we have it, three comfort bears ready to go to the doctor's to be given out to children.

Friday FOs - 15-01-2021

It is two weeks into the new year and I have finally managed to get something finished. I am still having trouble finding time to get some crochet done but I did find a few hours this week and made my first Comfort Bear for this year and here it is. 

Comfort Bear No 1 for this year 

I am still trying to figure out where I am going to store all my yarn and projects and may show everyone what my solution is. In the meantime, I will be trying to organise my time to do more crocheting. 

That's all from me for now. Until next time, have a good one. 

Richard. 

Friday FOs - 27.02.2020

I started a new job yesterday and this week's finished objects are in honour of that job. Here they are.

Santa Themed Drink Bottle Cosy

I decided that a daggy old Cadbury stuby holder just wasn't good enough for my new job.

Comfort Bear No 47 for this year

This Santa Bear is my 47th Comfort Bear for this year. I plan on making a second of these but I don't know if I will be able to as I expect to be quite busy over the next few weeks.

These may be my last finished objects for this year as I will be spending those days that I am not working preparing to move house and then unpacking at the other end.

That's it from me for this week. Until next time, have a good one.

Richard.

Friday FOs 20.11.2020

I have only one finished object again this week although I have been working on something special for use at the job I am starting next week. Here is this week's finished object.

Comfort Bear No 46 for this year

My latest bear is ready for service. I am planning on making a couple of special bears in honour of the job I will be doing in the lead up to Christmas. If everything goes to plan I should be abler to show one of them nexxt week along with the other special project that I am making.

That's all I have for this week. Until next time, have a good one.

Friday FOs - 02.10.2020

It has been a bit of a rough week with two trips to the hospital, one because of the pain from a kidney stone and today to have a procedure that required some preparation. In spite of this, I still managed to get a bear finished this week, and here it is.

Comfort Bear No. 39 for this year

Another Comfort Bear ready for service.

That's all from me for this week. Until next time, have a good one.

Richards.

Friday FOs - 25.09.2020

Well, it finally happened, I didn't make a bear last week. A kidney stone stopped me in my tracks and I didn't get it started. This means that I will be one short for the year unless I decide to make an extra one at some time. I have managed to finish obe this week and here it is.

Comfort Bear No 38 for this year

My schedule is going to be thrown off a little next week also as I will be going into Hospital for a procedure that I get done every 5 years. Due to Covid-19 there is a little extra preparation this time and I will be self isolating for most of next week. I an sure that I will be able to get something done but I'm not sure if I will be posting.

That's it from me for this week. Until next time, have a good one.

Richard.

Friday FOs - 11.09.2020

Comfort Bear No 35 for this year

Here is this week's Bear.

That's all I have for you this week. Hopefully I will manage to finish something for next week and remember to post it.

Until next time, have a good one.

That's all I have for this week. Until next time, have a good one.

It is the end of another week and to show you what I have finished this week. It may look like I have been busy this week but most of these things have been on the hooks for a while. Here they are.

Comfort Bear No 27 for this year

 Another week, another Comfort Bear.

Shopping Bag with Pouch

Shopping Bag in Pouch

This should be my last shopping bag for a while. I now have 12 of these, and until I sell one, I won't be making more.

Two Red Birds

A little while ago I finished the second of two Brown Bears as part of the story "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do You See?". Anybody tht has read the book will know that the answeer to that question is "I see a red bird looking at me", so here are the red birds to go with the brpwn bears. The next question is "Red bird, red bird, what do yuo see?" If you know the story you will know what animal I with be working on next.

That's all I have for you for this week. Until next time, have a good one.

Richard.

Friday FOs 26.06.2020

It has been another slow week without a lot of crochet happening so I have only finished one object this week and it was prettry late today when I finished it so didn't get a daylight photo. Here is my one and only finished object for this week.

Comfort Bear No 26 for this year

Just so you don't think that these bears are the only thing I make, I have worked on another shopping bag and a baby's jacket this week, I just haven't finished them.

That's all I have for you this week. Until next time, have a good one.

Richard.

Friday FOs - 19.06.2020

It has been another slow week on the crochet front, not helped by the weather which caused me to slip and fall over. I am a little worse for wear but otherwise fine. I have managed to finish one object this week, and here it is.

Comfort Bear No. 25 for this year

Even though I am struggling to spend time working on my projects I can still manage to finish a bear each week.

I have been handed another project this week which needs to be completed reasonably quickly. My ex-wife wants me to crochet a picot edge onto a baby's jacket that she has made for a friends new born grandchild (born just after 2 am today) so I need to get that done.

That's all from me for this week. Until next time, have a good one.

Richard.
