Chubber the Bear

Best Blog Tips

Chubber and I had to have some "negotiations" before he allowed me to attach his ears on
because he didn't like his name, but finally, with a bit of convincing, wisdom prevailed. He
simply could not go through life without ears. The pattern is relatively easy and the little bear
produced is super cute. If you like to do charity donations during the end of the year Holidays,
please consider donating one of these precious bears to a child in a homeless shelter or in a hospital.
