Zebra??

Ok here he is, nearly finished!  Once he got his mane on he looked more like a Zebra! 

Thanks Rosemary from Bears for helping me with his ears.  It really is great being in a class where everyone is willing to help & offer new ideas! 

Have a great weekend wherever in the world you are!  It's supposed to be wet all weekend here in Brisbane.

Zebra???

Ok so I found this lovely piece of striped viscose at the last show for a real bargain.  I dreamt of a cute little Zebra emerging from the fabric.  Not so, I reckon it's looking like an alpaca or even a foxy dog. I'll take it to my bear class tomorrow & see if I can get help to fix it.  (Do you even get black & white striped dogs)?

And Then There Were More....

Ok so I haven't done a post for awhile!  I'm finding it hard to get any critters finished but today I did it!  Well not really, they still need to be aged & dressed.  I usually have about 8 bears on the go at any one time, so then it's a big effort to finish them! 

There's a bear show in Brisbane next month so I really need to finish this lot!

Hope you're all having a great week!

Bear Class At Old Petrie Town

Today we switched venues for our bear making class & had it at Laura's gorgeous shop at Old Petrie Town.  It was probably more like high tea but hey we didn't mind!  Lots of lovely goodies to look at as well!  Thanks Laura!

Vintage Hatbox & Pretty In Pink Bear

I love this sweet little bear I made for the last show.  I used pale pink viscose & then dirtied her paws & feet with a pen.  I have her sitting in a vintage tulle hat that I picked up at a car boot sale on my recent trip to NZ.

I'm also loving the old brown hatbox I found!  It's a bit smaller than the usual ones that I've found so it'll be perfect as a prop at the next show in September.

Have a great week, I'm off to sit in the sun for a bit and stuff a couple of heads.   It's a beautiful 24 degrees here today in sunny Brisbane.

I'm Home!

My holiday was fantastic!  Blake is just the cutest baby (I know I'm biased)!  Kiera his 3 1/2 year old sister is also just the cutest.  Here's a few pics of us playing in the snow up at St Arnaud Lake, we were also lucky enough to be there when it was snowing!

Will try & do a post later of some of the goodies I found while I was over there.

Have a great weekend!

Bags Are Packed & I'm Ready To Go....

Tomorrow I leave Brisbane & head to New Zealand to meet my new grandson, Blake.  I have all the woollies packed as I'm hearing it's pretty cold there at the moment.

Earlier this week I celebrated my birthday with Linda & Lyn, friends from Old Petrie Town.  Here's a few pics of our Xmas in July party.

Happy Birthday Girls!
