Happy Mother's Day

To all of you who are celebrating the joy of motherhood this weekend, enjoy ! I hope you are loved and appreciated.



My Mom and I many years ago :)

My little HUG

I don't know that I would call myself a real bear collector. I get such enjoyment from creating bears . But, I have a small collection on display that I'd like to share. Most are from swaps I have done with other artist friends. One I bought and 2 were gifts, including a big crocheted bear from a sweet collector & friend. I do cherish each and every one. I also have bear artist ornaments that are tucked away for Christmas. I'll share those when that time comes.

Is it summer ?

It sure feels like it outside. What a gorgeous , warm day ! Here are some sure signs I found in my backyard that the weather is getting nicer. I'm still waiting for my tulips to bloom though.


Easy to grow dandeliions :)


Always first to bloom -bleeding heart bush


My favorite sign of spring- Ice Cream !
(my treat to celebrate my quick bear sale today)

W.I.P.

Here is my latest work in progress which I hope to finish in the next day or two. My poor bears never look like much at this stage. It amazes me each time that they actually come to life in my hands.



EDITED: Éclair sold in a flash after he appeared on website. Thanks L.B.

Here is my latest work in progress which I hope to finish in the nex

I'm a .....

heehee... I had fun playing with my Alphagetti today too!

I really am so proud of my kids today. Well, I am always proud of them. They are kind, thoughtful, humble , great students, and I love them to bits.

My daughter just placed second in her category at her school historica fair. I am so excited for her. She chose a children's author, Robert Munsch, to write about as she has always loved his books. She even emailed him and got a personal reply.


I am proud of my son too. Yesterday he placed 1st in both of his motocross races. What a way to start the 2008 season !
It is so wonderful to watch my kids achievements. I am truly blessed each day to have them in my life.

Hockey Anyone ?

I admit I am not a hockey fan. Should I run and hide......hockey is Canada's favorite sport afterall ! But, the buzz in the neighbourhood closeby is the newly constructed sign. It speaks for itself. Sid the kid, our local celebrity has made the area proud. I just hope the hockey parents aren't pushing those little players too hard trying to be the next "Sidney"

Peek !

I am almost finished with this new cub , and hope to have him ready by the end of today. I think he may go one Ebay, but I'm not sure yet. I bought a new camera, and I am still experimenting trying to get perfect pics. Here is a sneak peek in the meantime. I think he is one of my favorites! Enjoy .


UPDATE: TEDDY is now ready for and will be on EBAY tonight until May 5th
