Really excited!!

I am really excited!

It is a while since I bought a new bear, and there are rarely any bears available from multi award winning Donna Griffin of Donna and the Bears so when I saw that she was auctioning 3 bears in aid of the appeal for Haiti earthquake survivors it seemed a good time to buy one.

He is on his way from Carolina now and should be here in a few days.

Here he is - Richard! The three bears are named after the Top Gear presenters, so I got the hamster!

Isn't he lovely? He will be coming to join little Dibley who I have had for just over a year now and love to bits. You can see him on her site, on the bear gallery.

Gorgeous, proper, traditional teddy bears!!

I still haven't finished my little gold bear yet. I never seem to get much time to spend bear making at the moment, it is very frustrating. I will post his pic in a day or two when he is finished I hope.

Bear making again!

It feels so good!

I finally started making a little bear today.

I just don't seem to have had the time and space to get near my sewing table for weeks and have been busy with so many other things. It was wonderful and I really enjoyed getting a couple of hours peace (well there were lots of interruptions but I soldiered on!) to get started on a little gold bear. Pics will follow when he is finished.

In the meantime, here are the same dogs who were charging round in the snow chasing sledges and riding on them!

Happy New Year - Snow fun!

Our local woods - it looks like Narnia doesn't it. Their footprints were the first in the snow apart from some deer.

The little dog laughed and had such fun........

Here is Meg enjoying the snow and sledging with Keith

on Saturday afternoon!

It's time for some Christmas Sparkle

Here is my latest festive Warren Bear for 2009,

SPARKLE.

Sparkle is 13" and made from the most gorgeous soft kid mohair in

wispy cream, and the pads are from a contrasting cashmere.

There is some gentle airbrushing to the face, and the sparkle is completed with a wonderful silver ribbon. As usual, one of a kind, and £145.

Could you do with some Sparkle in your life?

This may be the last festive bear for this year, as I have some orders to complete now, but if I get time for another I will let you know.

Our house is decorated ready for Christmas now - Keith put up all the lights in the house and garden and its wonderful. I'm busy baking mince pies in between making bears and doing reflexology and massage treatments. Thankfully, I have bought all the presents and even wrapped them all up! I have NEVER been so organised before. It feels good!

More Festive Bears for you!

Well, I have been busy and here is another festive bear for you. This time its FIGGY PUD!

A 10" Little Handful bear in soft peach alpaca with a lovely brown velvet hat and peach bow. Her pads are cashmere and a cinnamon colour to match her nose.

And here are two cream bears going off as a special gift for two little girls.

Sophia and Grace.

Now I am starting on a lovely 13" cream bear so keep checking........

Internet Cache

I just had a very annoying few hours!

My friend told me he had updated my site, but when I looked it wasn't any different.

I tried everything but still got the old pics up and not the new festive opening page.

I knew it was there but for some reason I was just getting the page that

has been there for months.

So, I refreshed the page over and over, I deleted cookies, history,

bookmarks, more history, everything!!

Then I found a button to DELETE CACHE and lo and behold,

there was my new exciting page with the new bears on it too.

I don't know what it means and hope I haven't messed anything up but

at least I can see the new photos now!!

So if you aren't getting the festive vibe when the home page opens up,

maybe yours is stuck somehow too. They ARE there. I promise!!

Thanks Keith, you have done a lovely job as usual with the site!

Festive Bears 2009

Well finally (a chest infection later!) here is the photo of my little white bear and another one that I have just finished too. I hope to be able to make a few more before Christmas, but have some orders to complete first, so fingers crossed!

Anyway, here they are;

Jingle Bear (13") and Little Berry Bear (10")

I hope they delight!
