Reaching a milestone

I am so excited to have reach a milestone in my bearmaking .  I wanted to mark #500 by creating something special and larger than usual.  Quince is the result and I really was so tempted to keep him.  Many friends told me I should, but I wanted to share him with  others and give someone the chance to celebrate with me.  So, Quince is available for adoption by lottery.  All the details are on my website HERE .  He is one of a kind.  I don't have a lot of this fur so will be using it for smaller bears only.   No more big guys :)

I hope you like him as much as I do !

A fresh start

I LOVE this time of year !!   As Autumn approaches the weather gets cooler and the air feels fresh and crisp.  It energizes me and I feel creative again.  It was such along hot summer and an extremely humid August.  I am glad it is over.  I'm not one who enjoys spending hours at the crowded beach, but I do like to walk there in the cool Fall air.  

I needed to get back to a routine . As soon as school started for my daughter this week I picked up the scissors and fur and started making bears again.  It's been a month...... much too long.  

I have one bear nearing completion , and one other cut out and sewn together.   I may wait until they are both completed to list them.  I have some commitments next week so I'm not sure when they will be ready,  but soon hopefully. 

Skeeter available for adoption

Please meet 6.75" Skeeter,  my newest mink cub.  I've been working on him for almost 2 weeks when I get a few spare minutes.  We are in the middle of  2 weeks vacation but staying close to home this year.  I don't mind as I can fit in some sewing time here and there :)

You can learn about  Skeeter and adoption details on my website  HERE

Isn't this the truth !

 I saw this on facebook but don't know who to give photo credit to :( 

Little Brody, ready for a new home

7" Brody is my newest mink cub looking for his forever home.  He is made from the same mink fur as Bugsy,as well as a printed mink for his body  .  You can learn all about adopting Brody on my website HERE.

Bugsy has emerged

It never ceases to amaze me how the fluff ball heads always turn into something with such personality.  Lots , and lots,  and lots of snips here and there, and voila he developed a face.  You can learn all about him on my website where he quickly found a new mom !

Working on a bunny

 I am in the process of bringing a little bunny to life.  I haven't made one in awhile so thought it was time.   It is made from the same light fur as on Lochlin. I still have to trim the face as it looks more like a fluffy bunny tail than a head, but the limbs are all attached.   I'm looking forward to seeing the finished little fur ball later this week hopefully :)

I also want to share this photo that I took the other day.  I thought it was so interesting to find "love" in my garden !  It made me smile .
