Here is the sweet little Bella, looking for a hug to call her own. She has been keeping me company in the sewing room for a while except for the times I've had to rescue her from the toy box, cot, clothes hamper or assorted other places that Jack likes to stash pilfered items.
Lately she has been a bit neglected and I think it is time she was adopted by someone with more time to share secrets with her. (Jack just saw this picture and raced down to the sewing room to find her - I think he might miss her a bit even though his own bear hug is rather large)
Bella is the third bear I've made so she is not perfect but she is very charming and has been stitched with love. The lovely Bella is about 25cm tall. Her fur is fuzzy felt (I think polyester) in a dusky mushroom pink with a fuzzy rather than furry effect. Her filling is polyester fibre fill. Her arms, legs and neck have timber joints and are fully poseable. Her eyes are plastic safety eyes. She is safe for gentle hugs from little ones (and enjoys them very much) but I'm not sure if she will stand up very well to rough play. Her burgandy bow is a bit of ribbon used in my wedding decorations, so it brings good luck and fondest wishes with it.
If you would like to share your own secrets with Bella and think you could give her the perfect home then leave a comment here by 31st May and she could be yours.
I will draw a winner at random on June 1st, so please remeber to tell me how I can contact you. Bella wouldn't mind a plane trip and is happy to move overseas (as long as she sends a postcard home when she gets there) so international visitors are very welcome.

She's beautiful, thus the name I guess! I love her, you've done such a great job, I don't know how you can bear to part with her. ;-)
Thanks for the chance to win such a scrumptious bear. I have a little girl who would love to share secrets with her.
My older girls commented today that their little sister doesn't have a teddy to take to take to bed with her.
She'd be a welcome member to our family. Thanks for oferring to share her.
Oh so very cute, I think Sam would probably get his hands on it first unless I hide it.
What a beautiful bear. You're right about childrearing-- the best and the hardest thing you will ever do.

Laurie

She's gorgeous. And I could use some of her good luck :D
So beautiful! And snuggly
i would love to adopt sweet bella! its amazing thats she's lovingly stitched. i love handsewn.
I have two little ones who LOVE teddybears. They frequently whisper their secrets to their softies when they're supposed to be napping!
Oh my... She is amazing! *falls in love*
She is gorgeous, my almost one year old would love her i am sure. She is very fond of softies and only has two of her own... Plus it is her birthday in 2 weeks. Although my three year old, loves all things pink and Bella is her favourite name, i am always getting in trouble for forgetting to call her Princess Bella........
Oh, she is adorable, i don't know who would get to keep her my 5 y/o or me. We would definitely send a postcard back to let you know she arrived safely if she happens to come live with us... fingers crossed.
Thanks for the chance to win her.

Bella can come and live with me! It wouldn't be very far away and I'm sure she'd come back to visit sometimes!
She's beautiful!

Bella bear is so sweet! I want her to come live with me!
Bella is beautiful (as her name indicates)! I would love to give Bella to my mother for her birthday. "Memommer," as she's known to her grandchildren has many, many bears from all over the world. She lives in a big historic home, and at night the bears have the run of the place. As you can imagine, they are very happy creatures! She is familiar with the care and feeding of bears, and Bella would have a wonderful home with all of Memommer's other fuzzy friends! I'm sure she'd write and tell you all about her new, loving home.
Wow! She's darling! Thanks for the chance to win!

We have a new baby in the house and this has made my oldest rather fond of her "babies." (That's the name for any doll or stuffed animal.) I know she'd love to share all of her secrets with Bella Bear! Especially since her nickname is Bella!
Lovely give away. I'd be more than happy to share my thoughts with her!
Gorgeous! Thanks for the chance to win!
She is just lovely. My granddaughter would just love her! Thank you for a chance to enter!
You say she's not perfect--I say she is! Those little flaws give character!
Bella is adorable! I know a little gal who would love to share secrets with Bella & give her a good home!
