Zonked!

I'm so sleepy right now! It feels like my whole body is one big tired ache! Can't wait to hit the sack tonight!
I had a busy day today, went to see my mom and I used some of my new fabric to make a little topper for my livingroom drapes.
The other day I was in Fabricland during their surprise 50% off sale and found a lovely cabbage rose fabric for $4 a meter! I was ecstatic! The clerk told me it was now on sale for $2 a meter! I said 'give me the whole bolt then!'. There ended up being 16 meters on the bolt! Who knew?
But it's okay! Before I was separated from Aaron he never let me have flowered patterns anywhere in the house! So now that it's just me I can go crazy!
I can cover my dining room chairs, make pillows for my bed and toppers for my windows in there too! Wow! It may take me forever but when I'm ready to do all that I'll have my fabric all prepared!

Another hot one!

I worked on a little bear today. I was inspired by some lovely fabric that I picked up yesterday that I think will make a pretty dress. I bought the same fabric in several colors so I might make a panda too!
Here's what else I'm working on, a square of crazy quilting. I go a little 'crazy' with the embellishments!

Happy Saturday!

I went to my brother's 50th birthday lunch today! Wow! 1/2 a century!
Stopped at my favourite antique barn for finding little treasures on my way out. Didn't find anything for the bears but enjoyed trying on hats, eyed some chandeliers for my dining area and then scooped a Double Bubble gum on my way out from a tray so I could practice some serious bubbles in the car on the way home! Took awhile to clean the mess off my face though!
I thought about settling down to work on a bear in my little balcony garden with Wilson (it really is worth paying the extra for Miracle Grow), but then I thought a bike ride might be in order since I ate so much at lunch!
Still the bears patiently wait...

Another Webshow Complete!

Six bears are on their way around the world! I'm posting a pic of the bears sitting in their various boxes just before they began their travels. The pink flying pig at the bottom is on her way to Finland! The pink and cream panda is on her way to Moscow, Russia! Wow! I've also posted a couple of elephants I've made and the two flying pigs I made for the show. Only one was adopted so I will be keeping the other one! Yay!

Another show!

Friday July 13, 2012 to Sunday July 15, 2012 is my next Teddies Worldwide Show at www.teddiesworldwide.com. A little preview can be found below: it's a pic of Twinkles the Flying Pig! She will be available for adoption at the show!

The show promises to be exciting because it's going to be filled with Teddy bears and their friends!! There will be bunnies, and oinkers and elephants and all manner of sweet little critters!!! It's sure to be lots of fun! As usual I am busy busy busy!!

Showtime!

Well the Teddies Online Show starts today at 4 pm EST. I have been eating, breathing and sleeping teddy bears for the past several weeks! (Well, not really eating them! Lol!)
I made it! I'm ready for the show! If you get a chance please stop by and have a look at my bears! There are so many bears to see from 90 bear artists around the world!!! It should be an amazing show!

I will be heading out very shortly for the 1/2 price sale at Fabricland! Yahoo!!!

Teddies Worldwide Show Coming Up!

As usual I'm frantic with my show coming up the weekend of March 23-25! Teddy bear parts are strewn everywhere and I'm feeling the tension build as time gets down to the wire. I've been dying fur and jotting ideas down for outfits, rushing out to pick up bits of fabric and ribbons and wrestling with my little cat, Jessie, to get back the spools of thread she seems to steal constantly!
I have four bears complete and would really like to have six more done, but we'll see! Here's a pic of my preview bear:
