Hi Friends

Good grief, I did NOT realize that I have been away for SO long.  It has been a rather stressful past few months and "life" has kept me busy. 

I wanted to share with you that I am once again participating in the Teddies Worldwide Online Show.  This show's theme is Teddy's Tea Party!!!  The preview is up and running so please grab a cup of tea, your favorite snack and join me as I stroll through the rows and rows of beautiful bears...all 90 of them.  Remember it's just a sneak peek of what's to come March 23 - 25. 

Hugs & Wishes

Enjoying the last of Summer

It's been a nice and quiet summer here.  I've enjoyed the flowers, growing strawberries & squash, and visiting the little farmer's market just a few miles from my home.  It's been wonderful.

I've been playing with a couple new little designs.  :)

Working on bears and things for the Teddies Worldwide Holiday Treasures Show (see link to the right) in November.  Lots to do there...planning, cutting, sew, creating, dressing...oh all the good stuff.

Most recently, we've taken in yet another stray (they just show up here to be loved and fed) cat.  This one is especially loveable.  Deep down I keep hoping no one claims him because I really really like him.  He's just a joy.  By the way, I created Fiona weeks before 'Tux' arrived at my house.  hee hee 

And of course, I've been spending time with family & friends.   I hope you are enjoying the last bit of summer as much as I am. 

Much love...S

Christmas Treasures!!

I almost forgot....oh jeez!! I'm once again participating in the Teddies Worldwide Online Show. This year's theme "Christmas Treasures" will definitely be fun and I can feel the creative hum. huummmmmmmmmmm!!!!!

 

Don't forget to mark your calendars....November 18 -20, 2011!!

Kitten Kaboodle

I've been playing with some new design ideas and here's a little sneak peek.  She's not finished except for her face.

I'm toying with the idea of doing a local art & craft show put on at Christmas time.  It's a juried show and I still need to turn in my application & photos of my work. It's a juried show and a little intimidating to be honest.   My daughter said she'd do the 2-1/2 day show with me but it's still a lot of time sitting or standing and I'm not sure how well I'll hold out.  O_o  There were still a few booths left a week ago, I need to make a decision.


I hope everyone is having a fun filled summer.  Enjoy what's left of it.  Is it really August already?

Getting those creative juices flowing!

My friend & fellow bear artist, Daphne of Back Road Bears, have been challenging each other this past week.  We both created the same ellie using a pattern from GingerMelon found on Etsy. 

Here's mine...Dotty!!

She was fun to make and doing it as a challenge was a great way to see how we each did things just a little different.  Although it's from the same pattern, our ellie's look slightly different.  She lowered the ears and I turned mine upside down and flipped the tips down.  I blanket stitched the paw pads and she did hers the traditional way.  Little changes can make big differences in the final outcome.  This upcoming week, we are doing a puppy (her) and a kitten (me).  Same pattern again...but they will really look different this time.    Fun, fun, fun!!!   

It also makes me think about some future pattern designs...hee hee!!!   Get's the mind thinking it does, that can be a dangerous thing when it comes to me.

Yes, I'm still working on my own little dumplings.  I couldn't forget them.  :)

Much love,

S
