Bernie - the killer bee - more plushie joy!
I am learning something new with each plushie I make. This guy taught me it's extremely difficult to stuff a thin neck when the opening is on the bottom. The stuffing wants to migrate down. Took me about three tries to get it firm. Don't think I'll be using this shape again (which is a bowling pin, by the way). A true bee shape wouldn't be able to sit down, LOL. I used my new BigKick machine for the felt eyes and the heart! Whoo hoo! Have to add that this guy is huge - must be about 14" or so.
I must say I laughed like a lunatic when I first turned him inside out and saw that face with the antennae! I'm glad no one was home!!! They would have locked me away! These little things are bringing me such joy.
So - this is Bernie the killer bee. He doesn't understand why no one is afraid of him. He is a good defender of the hive though, he has won many medals from the Queen Bea, although he only wears his purple heart.
Oh how adorable he is! You are having fun aren't you. Well thats what it is all about.

Posted by: kerry at September 14, 2007 1:35 PMHe's soooooo cute! What a great lil' face! Does him have a lil' stinger? Heehee!
Posted by: Kai at September 14, 2007 2:32 PMThis is my favorite so far! I would have been laughing all by myself, too!
Posted by: Sue at September 14, 2007 2:48 PMOh my gosh, you are killing me with these things. He is absolutely perfect, right down to his little purple heart. Thanks for the big smile!

Posted by: JudiA at September 14, 2007 2:49 PMIt brings a smile to my face to hear these plushies are amusing you so much! I wonder if you were really alone when you were laughing like a lunatic... how about Zach and Chani... don't they count for something?
Posted by: at September 14, 2007 3:43 PMYour journey into the world of plushies definitely brings on the giggle. I am now inspired to design something to do with that yard of orange fleece I impulsively picked up at Joanne's remnant bin a year ago!!
