20th May since I last blogged!!!!

Today is the 11th July 2011- nearly 2 months since I last blogged!!! Where did that time go? The bears have been taking all my time up and I realise that my Blog, Facebook, Twitter and all the other social sites I am on have taken a back seat. That said, I feel very lucky that I have such a wonderful job and that the bears are  being adopted by so many people.
I am off to France again on 27th July for a month and this time  will be definitely using a courier service for sold bears. If anyone reading this has any suggestions as to the best service to use while over there I would be very grateful.

Today's bear is Martha, above, a girl bear for a change. Yesterday I went to a car boot and bought some old wooden blocks and carts, they were just the thing for the 2 bears I had just finished 
Finally, if I haven't bored you already, I must tell you how proud we are of our daughter Amy who has just finished Uni with a 1st Degree Honours in Italian and Spanish with a Distinction.  Now who else can I tell!!!!
That's all from me for now
Hugs,

16th November 2010 A Bear Blog

Gosh, just noticed it has actually been just over a month since I last blogged! What with so many different online social outlets it is hard to know whether just to concentrate on one avenue or go with everything. If I was a more organised person I would do them all but spread them out so as not to bore and bombard people with my drivel!!

It isn't as if I have anything interesting to say actually. I have had a strange couple of months bearwise. After an incredible 2 years of flat out bear making I have gone pretty quiet on the website. People are still asking for custom orders and as always my customers are fantastic and make me so happy to be doing what I do. There are still a couple of days left for free postage.

I think it is about time I did a free bear competition so will be sorting that out for before Christmas.

Bye for now

Hello from lots of Little Scruffs!!!

We have just come back from 3 weeks in France and the bears above are what I made when I was over there. They were just having their last wish at the old Wishing Well there!!

What a different lifestyle it is there. In all the time we were there we only saw 3 pieces of litter!!! Wish we could get through to people here that it's not cool to chuck your rubbish on the floor- or could it be that the French just don't stand for it like we do?

We picked our girls up from the airport on Tuesday. It was so lovely seeing them. Anna had just spent a month with Amy in Spain where she has just finished her University year abroad and we hadn't seen her since April. She is cooking Paella tonight! We all went for a meal yesterday and saw the film Inception- all about dreams within dreams.It was very good but I kept nodding off lol.

We have had no joy on our house sale so I think I am going to have to knock up a website and try and sell it myself

Now because everyone seems to be on holiday now and I can't stop making bears I have lots up for adoption so take advantage of free postage for the next week by adding Free postage please in the instructions when paying through paypal.

I have lots of materal that I will be adding to the website in the next few days also

Hope you are all well and enjoying the summer- it's nearly August!!!

Good Morning All.

No car boot today as it is raining a bit here this morning. I love picking up old bits and pieces and vintage material from there that I can use for making the bears with. Last week I bought the little wooden Triang cart that I have put my new bear Bingo in. The worn out looking bears are still my favourite even though lots of the more cuddly bears are going faster at the moment. It's a good job every one has different tastes though which is why I try and make lots of styles .

Well on Friday we are signing for our new house in France. When I say new,I mean new to us cus it's pretty old. My husband is really excited about it and can't wait to get there. I am staying behind to catch up on my orders and because I want it half habitable before I go over!!!! He keeps inviting people to visit but from what I can remember of it they probably wouldn't want to go just yet!!! The house was furnished when we saw it and apparently they are taking most of the stuff. What makes me think we will be left with an old mattress and broken fridge!!

Sadley our old cat Badger died this week. He was 14 years old. We now have no pets at all and although I am itching for another dog I know it wouldn't be the right time just yet.

It is supposed to be nice here in the UK later so I hope everyone has a nice lazy day.

Speak soon
