Annie are you O.K?

I know I bored you all last year with an essay of a post about my bear Annie and her restoration and I just wanted to mention she is now a good hybrid of old smelly Annie and new complete Annie.

After months of bending and twisting her to loosen up the stiff new fabric and breathing her and sleeping with her tucked inside my pillow case (an old trick I used to use when mean grandmother put her in the washing machine!) she finally smells acceptable : ) She is much more flexible but study enough to last many years to come! Someone even suggested passing her on to the next generation when they arrive, but lets not get too carried away eh? lol
