100 Best Bear Artist Blogs!

I've just signed up to 100 best bear artist blogs. It's a clever idea that's been implemented by Paula Carter , thanks Paula! I think it will give me the impetus to update my blog on a more regular basis, I also have the urge to get a bit more computer savvy as my skills are shall we say lacking ever so slightly!!
I've been working on a pink cat today and already have a cute shabby kitty finished but pics will have to wait until my camera battery has been charged. These pesky felines are breeding at an alarming rate and I can't for the life of me think of the word for a gang of cats, is there one?
I've also been working on an order for a traditional bear which is coming together nicely even
though I've had to restrain my creative hand as the new mum has a particular look in mind!
Anyway more about that later if you would like to visit 100 Best Bear Artist Blogs just click on the bear banner on the left x

Pretty Plum Fairy and Little Lemon Meringue.

Well at last I've managed to finish my first bear of 2009 and a first ever kitty , woohoo! I really enjoyed dressing them up in their little tutu minis. I went to ballet class as a child and still love all the frills and sparkle that accompany the whole ballet thing although I must say that I don't miss the blisters on my feet and the pulled muscles in my legs! Anyway Miss Plum and Miss Lemon are destined to dance their way over to eBay soon. Let me know what you think it's good to get a bit of feedback , oh and they are quite mini by the way 4" and 4.5", so reasonably small, I'm liking small at the mo . I'm going to order some more mini mohairs and also some silk, has anyone tried the 100% silk plush that around ? I'd be interested to know what it's like. xox

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all!

I've been busy with making and doing stuff and getting over flu which knocked me for six just before Christmas. Anyway I'm better now and looking forward to what 2009 has in store! I plan to make more bears and I've already started on some new patterns . Look out for some small teds in the coming weeks! The pics are of a bear that I gave away for Xmas and me and the hubster partying on New Years Eve. All the best to you !!

Pierre and Billy Boo.

I had a photo session this lovely sunny afternoon with the bears in the garden . A random frog hopped in to say hello and I ran in the house until he'd hopped off. Silly I know but they're so erratic the way they jump that I find them unpredictable and worry that they might jump on me! Anyway I got some nice shots , I find natural light is so much better for taking photos and getting true colours, I was glad it was sunny.

My new bear is wearing his hat with pride and I've decided to call him Pierre, I think it suits him. Let me know what you think. I'm going to put his friend Billy Boo on eBay.com tonight for a three day auction . Ta ta for now x
