After the show and a special order puppy

Well three out of five bears are on their way to new homes. Brownie, Lillyann, and Buddy have all headed north. Patina and Serafina will probably show up on Bear Pile soon. I am thinking of entering Brownie and Lillyann, maybe even Patina in the URSA competition. Still thinking on it.

I don't think I ever posted about the article in the Teddy Bear Times, a UK magazine. It was the February/March issue. I had forgotten they had asked for photos and some info until a friend on facebook saw the article and messaged me. The friend was also kind enough to send me a copy. It is a beautiful magazine with nice glossy photos. Because of the article, Emmitt the clown bear now resides in the UK. I also received an order for a little dog similar to one pictured in the article.

Believe it or not, I am already thinking about winter and Christmas bears. Maybe our colder than normal spring has something to do with that.
 

The show is on!

The Teddies Worldwide show started yesterday evening and last until 4pm NY time tomorrow(Sun 24th). Brownie has been adopted but as of now my other 4 bears are available. Patina and Seraphina are fairy princesses. Lillyann is all ready for Easter Sunday. Little Buddy comes with a wardrobe and a carrying case.

Teddies Worldwide Show

 Show link
Almost ready for the show. Four Teddies are complete. Today I worked on photos and descriptions. I still need to make at least one more bear but the ideas in my head are in conflict. Can't decide on which mohair to use, can't decide on color, can't decide on what it will wear. I think I have decided on one then it doesn't go with the other. Does that make sense? No? Not to me either. 
Well the preview begins on Friday the 8th. The photo for my preview bear is uploaded. I will post that photo here after the preview starts. Show is March 22nd through the 24th. I WILL be ready!

Show Time!

Pretty much packed and ready. I look forward to this show each year. Currently, it is the only in the fur "all Teddy Bear" show I participate in. The kitties, Parker and Petey and Shenanigan will all be available at the show. If you will be in the Tampa, Florida area....come on down! Show info here

Heads Up!

Almost ready for the Tampa show in just 2 weeks. Five new cats will be available. I am anxiously awaiting the mailman as I am expecting some fabric so a little bear needs some clothes. 

While waiting, bears for the online Teddy Bear Extravaganza at Teddies Worldwide are works in progress. Creations must be kept hush hush so no sneak peeks. The show will be next month. Preview and voting for collectors choice begins March 8 so stay tuned.

Off in the wrong direction

Yes, I know I am supposed to be making critters for upcoming shows. It is not the time to work on a prototype of a new pattern. But the idea for the new creation was banging around in my head and it refused to go away til I did something about it, So, last night was spent drawing out the pattern. Today it was cut out from a scrap up upholstery material. Now to sew it together, maybe tweak it a bit....then see if I can get back to what I should be doing.
