Well it's Hugglet's Eve and all is well. We are all packed up and ready to go and if we have forgotten anything it's tough as there is no more room in the car!
I have got Mike making chocolates for the show tomorrow- I hope we have plenty of visitors or I will have to eat them myself! I have quite  a few people coming who I have only had contact with online so I am really looking forward to meeting them.

I am very close to the bear making supplies so I shall have lots of temptation and even though I don't need any more fabric I know I won't be able to resist. And I certainly won't be looking at the old bears- far too tempting!
We are going straight onto France for a few weeks where I will still be making bears and keeping the website updated. Luckily it has coincided with our friends selling their house but not being able to move into their new property so they will be staying in our place which we are pleased about.

If you would like to be  notified when a new bear goes on my site please email me and I will put you on the mailing list. I do not give your email out to anyone else.

We have been having nice Spring like weather here in the UK recently and the light nights are coming. My husband can't wait to get into the garden in France and plant all the trees that we have packed in the car! 

When we get back we will have even more of a houseful as Amy is coming home for Easter and bringing a nice handsome Italian with here that she has met while working in Sicily! I can't learn French let alone trying Italian!  Anyway Ciao for now 

Hugs and take care

Gosh this holiday is going quickly. I shall miss it here but will be glad to have broadband back again!!!!! I have just taken a photo of 2 of latest bears in the supermarket carpark, haven't got a clue if they have turned out but will try and upload now. Jock is a vintage velvet FatHead and still thinking of a name for the pink one.

Bye for now xxx

Wow what a lovely day I had doing the Hugglets bear fair today!!! Sold loads, had lots of shop orders and had a lovely time meeting people and seeing Marijke who I met in September and we had tables next to each other. We did a bear swop and I am now the proud owner of a beautiful bear which I will photograph tomorrow. Thank you Helen for coming on your long journey, it was great to see you and sock monkey is a favourite in the Grogan household. Julieann from Silly Bears in Aberdeen is just as nice in the the flesh as I expected and I enjoyed the day enormously.
I will get some more bears on the site tomorrow hopefully and speak soon
Hugs

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
