but the bear is determined to make it to the top!

      Crochet is one of those things that look way more difficult than they really are. You really should give it a try!

    How sweet this post is, Amalia. Your bear is too cute. I have a soft spot for teddy bears. When my mom passed away, we were all given one of her bears, and whenever Jess and Nel travel, they take along their bear with them. Your crocheted pillows are so nice with all the pretty colors. I really enjoy your posts, Amalia.

      That is so sweet, Sheri! The love of teddy bears runs in your family. I always think that they have way more personality than the dolls.

      He did! But then he discovered that he had to go all the way back down.

      He did stop twice on the way, once for a snack and the second time to think deep thoughts. But he made it!
