Please meet Babaco

Here he is , the finished bear that my daughter and I were working on.  He is available for adopt on my website HERE 

He is being offered to raise funds for our church mission team headed to Haiti soon .  My daughter and husband will be on the team as they go to help rebuild.  This is a whole new experience for our family  , and one I think will be life changing for them.   It will be alot of hard work, but a wonderful way for them to make a difference.

Please keep the team in prayer !

A special project

My daughter and I have enjoyed working together on a special project for a fundraiser.  It is a mink bear from one of my older , larger patterns that I haven't used in ages.  She chose the pattern and fur colors.  She also cut out, trimmed and pinned all the pieces.  I am doing the sewing and finishing.   Hopefully it will be done soon and I will explain more about it then :)

Whisper- a new mink bear

Please meet Whisper , a 7" mink bear.  He is the first I have made in this off-white color from a coat I recently acquired.   I love  this fur  and may have to make myself a bear in this color to keep.  It is just so gorgeous .  Whisper  is available on my website HERE

 

Henzie, my newest bear

Meet 7" Henzie, my newest creation.  She is happy to have found a new mom in the USA. 

 
Henzie was named by a gr. 5 student who saw my article in the newspaper recently.  She likes to sew and was interested in my bears .  She emailed me and said she was doing a  school presentation about my business.  She even  invited me to her class,  about 1 hour from my house.  I was happy to accepted, so quickly worked on a couple of bears last week.   Unfortunately,  the class time was limited so the teacher was unable to allow me to attend after all.   

This young lady  was very disappointed , so I decided to email her a pic of the bear and let her choose the name.  She combined her name and her best friend's name.  I think it is a cute name and suits the bear well.   Thanks Kenzie and Hannah for the great name suggestion :)  I hope we still get to meet sometime soon !

A new bear coming tomorrow

I have a new bear who will make his debut tomorrow on my website.  I hope to have him listed at approximately 8pm Atlantic Time here on the Canadian East Coast .  Check back to see his listing and the link HERE.

A crazy week

Wow, it has been one busy week .  I have had tons of wonderful emails from strangers commenting on the recent newspaper article .  Such nice people !   It is exciting to chat about bears.  It's been a challenge trying to keep up with all the emails.  But I am thankful that people have enjoyed reading about my bears.

Plus I've been fortunate to have acquired some gorgeous new (vintage) mink fur , and met some lovely people. I have more  mink to pick up too . I'll  have a great stash to keep me in  business for awhile.  It's amazing how much fur is hanging around in people's closets. 

On top of that I've been driving my son all over town to several job interviews.  I am proud  that he got 2 job offers and started a  new job this week.  So, it has certainly been a very exciting week in our house. 

Hui -a panda looking for a home

 Meet Hui, my newest 7" mink cub available for adoption.  He is made from recycled blond/ivory , and black mink fur.  He is available on my website for immediate adoption.  HERE   He is the other bear that appeared in the recent newspaper article this week.
