Emergency Bear Operation

[momofgmd]

A little five-year-old girl that I babysit brought me a bear yesterday. I guess she had watched me crochet and was convinced that I could fix her bear and dress it. The head and arms were falling off. One hand was completely off with the arm ripped wide open. I spent a lot of time yesterday sewing up the bear and then I crocheted it a little outfit (a ruffled halter top and some bloomers) so it would be ready to go home with her. Just thought I'd share the pictures of the dramatic finish.

That is too cute for words. I love how little kids love their toys so much.

It's hard to remember being that way as I just want to chuck everything that is the least little bit messed up these days, but I carried around the rattiest stuffed cat for the longest time and its head had to be sewn back on twice.

What a sweet thing to do,Ruth!

How wonderful of you to do that for her.

That's the kindest 'operation'. My daughter took a shine to an Oscar the Grouch stuffed toy. He was sewn up repeatedly; finally he had to be recovered in green towel fabric with wooden eyes. He was 'operated' on by me, my mother and my sister. I never thought to give him clothes! Great resuscitation job.

Being someone who actually has been known to "anesthetize" stuffed animals before I fix them (dixie cup over the nose, that's standard medical procedure you know...) I have tears in my eyes thinking of what you did for that little girl! Her faith in you was well placed, bear looks wonderful! What a great story, thank you for posting about it!
