Lovely time had at Hugglets 'Teddies 2011'

We had a lovely day at Teddies 2011 on Sunday.

We arrived with plenty of time to set up the table and after a lot of fretting about how it looked, I decided it was just fine and set off the bears well. The bears and rabbits got some lovely comments and had some photos taken of them, including a photographer taking photos for the Hugglets Festival web page! There wasn't time for me to hide under the table, so I had to grin and 'bear' it!

As it was our first time doing a Hugglets show there's always the feeling of going into the unknown territory, but my fears went unfounded as everything was wonderfully organized and I thoroughly enjoyed the yummy complimentory ginger biscuits and a voucher for a tea or coffee!

Carwyn found a loved home with a mother and daughter from Wales and it was lovely to chat in person to other artists I've conversed with online.

I had a rummage through the mohair remnant on sale and picked up some steel shot (using all my upper body strength). It's heavy stuff and saves on postage buying some from bear fairs ;)

We brought bears and rabbits home, but it's nice to have some 'new faces' on the website. It's now all updated, with as usual the Paypal buttons for ease of purchase.

I sure they would love for you to pop along and say 'Hi' to them here!

Here are five of twelve bears and rabbits that will be coming to Teddies 2011 this coming Sunday 11th September! I will also be bringing another bear that I am still at this moment working on and any bears and rabbits that are still looking for homes on my website.

I've had some very late nights (or is that early mornings ?!) getting prepared for the show. Anyway, here's the new boys.

We would love to see you there!

Hugglets 'Teddies 2011' on track

I'm busy sewing away in preparation for the fair on Sunday September 11th. Hopefully I should have nine bears and three rabbits available!

Below is 'Peter Plum' who will be one of the bears available.

I will also have some of my more traditional bears available, but Peter Plum is one of the quirky characters I also like to create.

We will be Hall 4, stand number 146. Not too far from the snack bar!

Hope you can make it. We would love to see you there!

We'll be at Teddies 2011!

We (Sarah's Bruins) will be at Hugglets Teddies Festival 2011 on Sunday 11th September at Kensington Town Hall, London.

After 11 years of bearmaking I have got a stall and am thrilled! It will be wonderful to be at such a prestigious event and for collectors to see my bears (and rabbits!) 'in person'.

Lots of sewing for me over the coming months I think!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
