Well, Tai and Chai have now been adopted, Katie was a huge hit and I now have a lot of work ahead of me. I am working on some new patterns and am almost finished giving Amadeus a face lift! I have to say that I am very very happy with the results and look forward to sharing him with you here in the near future.

It is also that time again to start getting ready for the Christmas shows... doesn't that sound crazy? But when all things are one of a kind and all things have only two hands making them, the time does go by very quickly! I have some new items that will be sold at the shows that are all eco friendly just like my gourmet room sprays that I have been creating for many years now. The sprays were a huge hit at last years show and I look forward to bringing those along again.

We had a big Fathers Day BBQ yesterday and that went well but we are very sleepy today... not as young as we use to be. Looks like we are about to venture into a wonderful second day of summer so hope you all have a fabulous day.

For those that are new to my site and don't know, my ELVIS quilt will soon be leaving to be hung at Graceland and I will be meeting it shortly after with my Mother in Law (friend). I just completed our quilted ELVIS shopping bags and will soon post some images of that but my camera went on the fritz. My Husband bought me a new one (sweetheart) but I cannot figure out how to load the images into the computer... another task for tonight!

Anyway, gotta run... lots of designing to do and may I say thank you again to all my collectors for embracing me into this wonderful world of bears. I am so blessed to be able to share my art with you!

Hi Everyone:

As promised, here is the link to my new adoption auction for my PANDA couple ~ Tai Chi and Chai Tea! I hope you will very much enjoy them as I did in creating them!

So... I was recently asked to make a Victorian style bear for a friend whose sister in law is ill and in hospital. This was a real challenge for me as I wanted this bear to be sweet, happy and a traditional vintage bear based on a 1900's style body type and that as you may know is not like any bear I have made to this point; my bears are mostly kind of sad and worn, saggy and dopey. As it turns out after creating a few new pattern styles I created a baby bear in a 9" size that I was very pleased with. She was soft and sweet in the face and I even found a vintage lace bonnet that fit her perfectly. My buyer was very happy with her. So here she is ...
I would like you all to meet ~ Katie ~

And just a little heads up... A beautiful fun and playful COUPLE will be up on eBay on Sunday at 8:30pm Eastern Standard Time. I will post a link here for you all when the time comes... but can I hint and say this... if you love Black and White... these two will be right up your alley!

Hamish

As promised here is my latest bear "Hamish" who is now available on eBay! Have a wonderful day!

Well, I have been working away these last few weeks and am very pleased to say that I will have a new bear up for sale on May 26 through eBay. You can link to that sale on my website or through this blog when the time is right.

Tonight I spent the evening finally planting a garden in the front of our house. Yippeee! It will get finished tomorrow and I will try to get a great shot and post it here. This has been a long time coming and I was rewarded by my husband Sinister with a Dairy Queen Blizzard! Yummy, just what I needed after all that digging!

I also have another two bears almost ready for sale... big surprises on the horizon so please stay tuned. I am so happy and feel so lucky to be able to share my art with you all here.

Be back tomorrow! Have a wonderful evening.

It's been a while since I have posted. I have been extra busy creating! I have a show coming up and I have three new bears that will soon be posted as well as two on the GO. I am also getting a triptych quilt ready for a show so needless to say my plate is now a platter. I am having a lot of fun however and am grateful for this long weekend that I might have some time to get a few of these projects completed.

I forgot how much I enjoy pedicures... I got up early today and went to a spa salon to have my feet done. I usually do that once a year to get me started for the summer, but I think I will try to keep it up this year. It was nice and relaxing but I was unfortunate enough to get a gal I really liked who is leaving her job this coming Thursday. Darn it all.

There's a storm on the way and that means for good sewing, at least in my world it does. I mean, you're stuck inside anyway so might as well sew sew sew! I have big plans to create two new patterns also so .... soon there will be more excitement on the horizon! Stay tuned for the continuing saga of Seraphim and her bears... Yippee!

Happy weekend to you all

Hi Everyone: It seems like ages since I have posted but what can I say... things have been very busy lately. First my darling husband was rushed to hospital ~ He's okay now. Then there was the recovery...

Then with all my spare time... hahahahaha.... I designed a new style of bear that I am so happy to be able to share with you. I am calling them my DOPE bears because they look really dopey and sad. You just can't help but want to love them up!

Basil is now up for sale on Ebay!
