Restoring my oldest friend

Meet Teddy! He's one week older than me and last night I decided I'm going to attempt to do as much as I can to restore him a bit! I've had him for all 30 years of my life and for the next however long it takes to get him cleaned up I'm going to have to learn how to sleep with out him at my...

Are you against sending him in for repair? Or is it a situation you feel you have to accomplish with your own hands?

Well sending him for repair is certainly an option, but after looking at options for places he could be sent, I found a lot of the places that seemed trust worthy were very heavily booked... honestly I'm kind of leery about having him gone for any major length of time too because I can't sleep...

I can vibe with you. I don't think there is anything wrong with you sleeping with such a plush little gentleman. He's better company than my cat. He always hogs the covers 😆😆😆 Well, make sure to use dyes if you re-color. Fabric paint is really stiff. Not something you want to sleep next to.

Nah he'll probably keep any stains that won't come out with another soapy water bath once I brush out more mats in his fuzz... I'm honestly shocked he's come that clean, like... he was litterally grey when I started this process lol... but definitely going to get some yarn to brush out and stitch...

Yeah, he looks alot better than the first pic. What's his name?

Teddy XD mum named him, I was given him litterally the day I was brought home from the hospital :3

Ah, so you two have a close bond? I don't want to occupy your time too much during his restoration. But best of luck getting him back to 100% 👍

Just gonna add an update to this :D he's lookin so much better!!!
