NOW I CAN SHOW YOU!!!!

Here are my creations from the Be My Valentine Show on www.teddybearsandcritters.com. I made 3 bears from mink and a rabbitt from mohair. The top two are Rollo and Russell, and the bottom two are Mei Sheng and Emily.

Babies have flown the nest

Two of my little bears, Raspberry Ripple and Boysenberry have left the nest on their way to their new home in North Carolina, USA.

Be My Valentine 2010

Coriander eating Possum

I planted these coriander plants in my pots a few days back, thinking how lovely it would be to have fresh coriander to put in my salads, etc and after the first day, one plant was just stalks and the next morning so was the other one. We have possums in the garden in the evening, so I obviously have a possum that has taken a liking to coriander. I thought that they only ate fruit, roses buds, but this one likes a bit of flavour with his food. Here is a photo of what has been left.

REAL FUR WORKSHOP

I will be doing a Real Fur workshop at Teddys Bits in Castle Hill, NSW on the 27th & 28th March 2010. Please contact Valma at the shop on 02 9680 3777 to book your place. The workshop is filling up fast.

ISN'T SHE BEAUTIFUL????

Isn't Joy absolutely gorgeous? She is my Christmas Swap. I did a Swap with Susan Mitchell from Blue Valley Bears. It was the first time that I have done a Swap with anybody, but what great fun. It was so exciting receiving the box in the post and opening it, and seeing the wonderful bear that had been made for me.

NEW WORKSHOP

I will be doing one day workshops on the 16th & 17th January 2010 at Teddys Bits, Castle Hill, NSW. We will be making Kassandra, a gorgeous bunny in a soft pink mohair and white alpaca. She has detailed appliqued pads on her feet. For more information, please contact me on susan@bearleighbears.com. Here is a photo of her.
