Dooleys bear project

Category: Dooley's bear project | Posted: Sat Jul 22, 2006 4:30 am

I thought I would keep a blog on my bear project. It's a secret project so I won't say what it is. I went and bought material on Monday. That took about 20 minutes. I knew what I wanted and I was on my way to work. On Tuesday, I spent half a day looking for the pattern because it was where it was supposed to be. I never seem to find something when it's where it's supposed to be. Dr says it's because I never put things where they belong.
Step one took about half an hour.
Step two took about one hour.
Step three is one third finished and I've spent about two hours on it. Maybe a little less. I've been trying to count up the steps. Lets see, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, well, I think there will be about 12 steps to finish it. Some will be short steps but others will be longer. I think Step three will take a total of about 5 hours. Step four will take the longest. I'm thinking about ten hours. Step 5 won't take too long, maybe an hour. Step six will take about five hours, maybe. Then, seven will take maybe half an hour. Step 8 won't take as long because I will use the sewing machine for it. Step 9 will take a couple of hours. Step 10 will take two or three hours. I'm not sure about Step 11, some of it needs done by hand but maybe I can baste it and do it by machine. Step 12 won't take long. Less than an hour, I'm sure. So, that's about 27 hours. I bet the whole thing can be done under 30 hours. That's not all in one sitting of course. I've done this project before so that will make it go faster. I'll have DR take some pictures that I can post when it's finished. Then, eventually you will know what I know. Dooley

Dooley I'm totally intrigued now! I love mysteries, even if they are a bit frustrating :)

And so well planned as well. Good luck with it.
