Nursery Babies Challenge on Edinburgh Forum

There is still a little time left to enter the latest challenge on the Edinburgh Community Forum. This quarter's challenge is Nursery Babies --fitting because late spring is the time of year for nature to renew itself. You may enter creations (dolls, bears, animal friends, felted friends and crocheted/knitted friends) that represent newborn animals or the rebirth of Spring. Are they just hatching from their shell, snuggled up to their new mom or having fun with their new brothers and sisters, all are welcome in this Challenge. The prize is a $25 gift certificate from Edinburgh that can be used for fur, wool, or other critter making supplies.
Twit the baby bird with attitude is my entry in the challenge. Click here to see the other entries or to enter a baby critter yourself.

New Moderator at Edinburgh Forum

The Edinburgh Forum is for Teddy Bear artists and anyone interested in making and or collecting bears & critters. It is a bunch of very nice, interesting, and fun people. We help each other with ideas, inspiration, and sometimes with a sympathetic shoulder. The forum is sponsored by Edinburgh Imports which has supplies and really great mohair. There is a bimonthly challenge on the forum and the winner gets a $25 certificate to use at Edinburgh Imports.

Recently, one of the moderators, Lisa Thoms of Twin Cubs Bears has decided to step down. She has 3 beautiful young girls and along with her bear making, they are requiring more of her time. I was honored to be asked to take her place as moderator. Difficult shoes to fill, as Lisa is knowledgeable in many areas I am not. I can guarantee the forum will still be fun and interesting. Please stop by! http://www.eii2.com/Community/index.php
