New look website now live!

After being away for what seems like an eternity, I am now delighted to say I've finished my new look website!

Another new change to my site is that you can now purchase by using the Paypal buttons below each bears page. There's also some lower prices to some of the bears!

Goodness knows how many times I've changed it. I'd still like to tweak it here and there, but that can wait for another day as I've bears to sew for 'Teddies 2011' in Kensington Town Hall in September.

I've re-done my blog, to give it a nod towards my website, but also it's own individual look.

Anyway, hope you like the new looks. Any glitches, please let me know ;)

Cupboard Renovation Photos!

These photos relate to my previous post! I decided not to upload them until my sister had seen our new cloakroom over the weekend. Just in case she popped by my blog!

All done. The bedroom is next. A little breather first and a chance to get back to working on my website re-do! No rest for the wicked..........

Still here.......

I am, honestly!

Have at long last finished decorating our cloakroom. It wasn't just a quick lick of paint either. My other half created a false wall to hide pipes and installed tongue and groove and installed coving and finished the woodwork around the window to match our other original windows in our 1928 house. I lined the walls and painted them and gave the tongue and groove three coats of paint and the door two and repainted the ceiling. Oh and I re-tiled the floor. We had hoped to keep the original tiles but they were so badly stained and pitted we sadly couldn't, so we went with something similar to the originals. Oh and of course we installed the toilet and hand basin. It had just been a cupboard with the previous owners.

It's been one of those decorating projects where you really can't seem to see the end of the tunnel, how ever hard you squint into the distance.

Will be back with 'Before' and 'After' pics soon.

Hearty hooray hugs, Sarah x

Tiddly Widdly

Just had to share this. Discovered this egg amongst our other girls eggs, when doing the usual daily egg collecting. 'Yes, pretty enough egg' I hear you proclaim, 'but why the importance?'. Well this egg is photographed sat in a teaspoon! It's either what's called a *ahem* 'wind' egg, or it's our Izzy's first attempt (she should lay dark brown eggs) or it's Tippi's, who hasn't laid since the dinosaurs roamed the earth.

It was yolkless, which doesn't solve the mystery. I've kept the shell. Can't manage to part with it just yet.

I'm still tweaking my website and will be glad when it's done and uploaded.

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

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!

For more details visit the Hugglets website HERE

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
