First bear of 2012 - Lewis

Please meet 7" Lewis, my newest mink bear looking for a loving home :)  You can learn all about him here :

A moment in the spotlight

It has been such a crazy day , well week,  here in the den.  It all began last week when I got a call to be interviewed for the local newspaper.   It was quite a surprise and wonderful opportunity as this paper has a large circulation.   God has richly blessed me throughout my bear making journey .  I guess this is my 15 minutes of  fame lol.   I have had lots of  wonderful emails and comments from total strangers so it has been a fun day.  It's nice to have such a good start to 2012 after such a challenging year last year.

I  spent several days madly creating a couple of mink bears to have on hand, and then of course cleaning the sewing room.  No one is allowed to enter that disaster area lol. Let's just say I am messy when I create. I hope to get those bears listed soon so check back.

I am rather introverted so when I opened the newspaper this morning it was a little weird having a photo of me starting back !  However, the reoprted, Andrea Nemetz,  did a fantastic job interpreting what I said.  She really "got" it .  And the photographer, Eric Wynne, worked some kind of magic with his camera.

I hope to get those bears listed soon so check back.

A New Year

I hope that the new year is starting out well for you.   It is always a time of reflection ,  hope , and opportunity to start fresh.  There are things I want to change, and ways in which I want to become a better person. And, of course there are lots of bears I am looking forward  to bringing to life !

I came across this video today that really moved me.  I had to share .  It is a tad long, but trust me it is worth taking the time to watch.

Make the most of 2012 .  It's a gift  !

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

It's hard to believe it is Dec 24th already.  All of our Christmas preparations are completed despite some minor setbacks the past couple of weeks.   For starters  a 20 pound  ceramic pot fell out of the closet onto my head causing mild headaches, and mild whiplash for a week .  My neck is still sore sometimes.  Then 1/2 of the family got a nasty virus, and to top it off the Christmas tree fell over the other day smashing ornaments and  totally flattening my poinsettia plant  .  It's actually quite funny now lol.  

However, Christmas is all about the birth of Christ and not all the craziness that we put ourselves through !    I wish each of you a very Merry Christmas.  

Here is a new song I discovered, and love,  that sums up the reason for the season.  I hope you enjoy it too !


 

A Christmas Teddy

I can't believe it is December already !!  I am so unprepared for Christmas, but it will all come together I am sure.  I am trying not to stress over it.....trying lol.  For me I just want to spent time with family and friends.  I don't care about the gifts, it's not important to me.
In honor of  the season I am pleased to introduce my latest Christmas teddy named, Winter.  He will be on Ebay HERE until Monday , Dec. 5th.  I think he turned out rather handsome and hope you enjoy him too :)
