19th January 2010

23 years ago today I was even bigger than I am now Lol I was living on a farm on small island in the Orkneys called Stronsay and I had been whisked by private plane to the mainland to give birth! I went into labour on a Sunday morning when there were no normal planes so had my own private one. I gave birth to Anna the next evening. She has gone back to her roots this week as she is on 8 weeks teacher training at Bourton on the Water and is living on a farm.

I have been busy bear making this week and here are a couple of photos of bears that I have just added to my site

Have a good week everyone

Hugs, Jean

The 11th January 2010!!!!!! I really haven't been hibernating, it's much too nice walking out there in the snow. Here in Evesham we hardly ever get any so it has been a real treat. We have had an extra week with our daughter Anna as her uni has been closed and Amy was lucky enough to have no delays with her flight back to milan.

I have been keeping busy with the bears doing orders and as the last few days have been pretty quiet I might get around to sending a newsletter out!! I have been trying to do a proper newsletter for months now without much success and always seem to bungle it up. I long for one of the girls to bring home a new boyfriend and him to be a brilliant computer expert who would sit with me for hours showing me what to do!!!

I will be at Hugglets in London again at the end of February and at the moment need a bit of inspiration to make something different . Think I need to tour the Charity shops, often see something there!

Intentions this year, apart from the old diet thing, is to be more organised, post more blogs and make even more bears!!!!

Keep well everyone, and thank you for looking AND if you make a comment I will answer you or give you 10% off Lol

Hello Everyone,
Hope you all had a really nice Christmas. All is good here in the Little Scruffs household. It has been lovely having both the girls home for Christmas (back to washing everyday!!!) I have managed some bearmaking in between the festivities and will be putting 2 or 3 new ones on the site tomorrow if I get on with it today!! We have a few things planned over the next week before Amy goes back to Milan so the bears will be a little behind but it will be all systems go after that
I would like to wish you all a Very Happy New Year and thank you to all of you who have adopted a little Scruff from me.

21st December 2009

Well the last bear of 2009 has now gone on the website and I have promised to get on with Christmas, spring clean, visit and all and yet somehow tonight I have been playing around with a new design!!!! Perhaps just a couple of hours a day then hey!

Tomorrow it is taking back throws I bought the other day for my 2 settees that are looking too shabby for Christmas - they weren't big enough and they would have just got on my nerves everytime I sat on them. Then we are off to visit my brother David who has so much wrong with him, poor thing, that you always count your blessings when you come away from him, bless him.

Amy, my daughter in Italy said it is snowing really bad there and she is a bit worried that she won't be able to get home for Christmas - that just cannot happen, I won't allow it!!!!

Well I will love and leave you now and speak again before Christmas xxxx

17th December 2009

Hello, Little Scruffs here and only 8 sleeps till Christmas!!!! I actually sent most of my cards yesterday and decorations are up. I managed to sort my mess up with losing my website out and even went on my photography session although you wouldn't know it because I am not going to use any of my new found knowledge(!!) until after Christmas when I can sit for a bit and go through what I learnt or maybe call Paul back for a quick refresher more like!!)

I wonder who will be having their first Little Scruff for Christmas? I would love to hear from you.

Life has been really, really hectic (as I am sure it has been for most of you) and I have decided to have my last posting day as 21st December so that I can actually sort Christma out here. Also Amy will be coming back from Uni abroad and we haven't seen her for months so I shall be making the most of having her and Anna here for 2 weeks. Of course I couldn't go that long without making a few little ones!!

11th December 09

Well it is 1 o'clock in the morning and I have been on the computer all night trying to put right what I messed up earlier. And you wouldn't believe that what I was trying to do was save everything to my harddrive for safety and I ended up loosing my website. I really don't know if I am going to have to do a whole new website now. I have tried restoring my computer back to an earlier time but it hasn't helped so if there is anyone else out there that can't sleep and knows what I can do I would appreciate help greatly!!!
i am giving up now but this might be my onlt means of communiation for a while to let you know what is new & what has sold.

Apologies for not adding much to the website this week. I have been busy in the background doing orders and will be adding a few bears that will be going to a shop in the next couple of days. I also am at a craft fair this Saturday in Lichfield at the GuildHall. I will be back soon so please keep looking in. This is one of the bears that will be going to Silly Bears in Aberdeen next week.
