How time flies

I did it again. I have not blogged for ages. Sorry, but I have got back from a month overseas doing, a bear show in Bamberg, Germany, then Hugglets in London, England and then another one in Ghent, Belgium. Since arriving home, I have done workshops, classes and shows nearly every weekend. I am going to my last face to face show on Sunday 6th November at the RSL in Mittagong, New South Wales, Australia. And then on the 18th until 20th of November I will be doing the Teddies Worlwide Online Show with 74 other artists from all over the world. Look at www.teddiesworldwide.com....there are some amazing bears. The preview starts at 4pm New York time tomorrow (Friday). I will post a photo of my preview bear then. That's all for now...have to get back to finishing those bears off for the show and I have classes this morning as well......busy, busy like a little bear....isn't it fantastic!

I am still here!!!

I have just got back from Miss Marples Craft Shoppe in Adelaide from doing workshops. We did Chewy. I think we have done a workshop in nearly each state of Australia, just not Western Australia, Queensland and Northern Territories. So he has travelled far and wide. Here is a picture of him. I just love his big smile!

Happy New Year!

A little bit late, but better late than never. Happy New Year to everyone.....may all your dreams come true in 2011. I didn't stop over Christmas.....have been sewing like mad as I have a quite a few shows in the first few months of the year....and I am also doing a few workshops and travelling to Hugglets in February this year to trade. So I have been busy like a bee.

Not everyone has been busy....take a look at the horses......they have been so relaxed most of them have taken to sleeping mid morning. It is so funny, we catch a least one of them each day taking time out. I think that they have got it right.
