I am very honoured to have some collectors (now friends) who are very clever artists . This painting has been done by Helen Jones who specialises in pet portraits but paints much more- including Colin here!!! If you would like to see Helens work please go to http://www.visionfinearts.co.uk/

An update on Hugglets. I now have 2 weeks to go until the bear fair in Kensington. I only allow myself to stop bear making for a few minutes here and there so am getting on pretty well. I shall post photos nearer the date and if anyone would like to order let me know. I have discovered just how much time I am saving by keeping off the computer!!! I shall be back to normal after the show though and adding bears more often.

If anyone is going to Hugglets PLEASE come and say 'Hi' to me. Speak soon Hugs jeanxx

Hello everyone. Just had to put this lovely picture up taken by David of the bears in the Sweet Peas!

I don't seem to have put so many bears on my site lately but I have been very busy in the background doing orders. Also I never seem to get so much done in the Summer, perhaps it's having the girls home?

i have finished little Barnaby today. Here is his picture . I am starting a shaggy dog type now before another batch of oldies

Speeak soon xJean

Well, did I come back from my 11 day holiday in Spain nice and refreshed?? Not really! On day 3 I slid down an incredibly slippy slope - (one that you would have claimed compensation in UK for!!!) and my leg bent back. Apparently I have strained my something tendon and damaged my cartilage. So now I can't walk the old ladies dogs for a few weeks! And I hadn't touched a drop!We did have a nice time though and managed to fit lots in and I also managed to make 3 bears.
I feel I should be tackling a new style bear now and all day long I have been hoping for inspiration - it hasn't come yet.......
I am excited about doing an Event in Bristol at the Paintworks on the 7th November arranged by www.misi.co.uk This is a website for all things handmade which I belong to and is such a friendly group. So I am looking forward to meeting everyone face to face and of course there will be plenty of bears if you want to come along. I shall be giving details shortly.
The lovely daughter Amy has cooked another fab meal now so speak soon

I can't believe it has been nearly a month since I last blogged! The time is going by so fast. I have just this minute finished a bear who I think will be called Robert Hamilton. I can't take a photo now because it is too dark but hopefully he will be on the website tomorrow.
I did a really silly thing yesterday and put a bear on my site and added him to Misi.co.uk as well and 2 people bought him within minutes of each other!!!! Luckily it all ended happily but I won't do that again, it will be one site only!
It is my daughter Anna's graduation tomorrow from Warwick University which luckily isn't too far away so best away to bed now
Hugs

Where is the sun?

We have friends coming over this evening. Whenever we go to theirs Pat always cooks a delicious meal. Tonight the weather was supposed to be beautiful so I thought I could do a crafty and go for a drive in the country- get fish & chips followed by a walk by the river. I was cooking a pud I am not that bad (well actually is strawberries & cream cooking??) but it is really dull here. Sun come out now!!! I have added Fritz to the website today, a cute little Fat head

have a good weekend all xxx
