Thanks for the kind words! I'm going to be starting on a bear for my youngest son, hopefully tonight. Not Disney themed, but it will still be fun! He doesn't have an offical Teddy yet, like big brother does, so I think he will like to have his own.
I'm waiting on a big shipment of yarn to come in - my hubby said to "go wild" and order yarn for my valentine's present this year. He let me pick since he doesn't know the first thing about yarn or what kind/colors I would want or need. I found some deals on eBay and I'm hoping it turns out to be nice yarn. I figure, the yarn I use now is from overseas, and probably from the exact same mills! It's always a mixed bag though, when you order from eBay. I got like 27 skeins for $50 w/ free shipping. Surely even if it isn't exactly what I hoped, I can still use it for something!
I'm going out today to get a binder to start putting printed pattens in. I hate dragging out my computer every time I work from a pattern - so I'm printing them (probably should have done that from the start!). With page protectors and a dry erase marker, I should be able to do pattens and "mark off" as I go - then erase and use again.
