New Year, New Start

Well, I sure started the year out right; with a week's stay in the hospital with pneumonia.  What a crummy way to start the year.  I am diabetic and the doctor put me on IV medication which he described as steroids on steroids.  Boy, did it wreak havoc on my blood sugar.  But, I guess better that than a longer hospital stay with less effective medications.  And they injected me in the belly with this medication that prevents blood clots.  It caused these HUGE black and blue marks that are now healing and itch like crazy  Oof.   So, now I am behinder than I've ever been. 
Well, at any rate, I am presently working on my first bear of 2012.  It is a little 9 inch Valentine bear which I hope to complete by week's end.  So watch out.  I will be previewing her/him (don't know the sex yet) here and on facebook.  I also have plans for an Easter bear or bunny  with a little parasol. 
I hope you have had a better start to the new year than I. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!

Have a beary happy holiday!

New Bear

Here is a sneak peek at the bear I have just finished.  He has yet to be named.

Holiday Season has Started

Although I haven't posted in awhile, that doesn't mean I haven't been busy.  My Halloween witch, Witch Hazel, is available for adoption on Etsy and I have created a mummy bear for a Halloween swap.  Also, just because, I made "When Pigs Fly" and the second 6 inch bear in my Tipsy Teddy series, Philpot.

Philpot is fashioned from this beautiful mohair which I purchased at the Teddy Bear Show in which I participated in Grapevine on September 11th.  I didn't sell much, but I met some wonderful people, bear artists and collectors alike.

Adam the Guardian Angel

Here is little Adam, my newest creation.  You will find him in my Etsy shop.
