Seasons Greetings

A little late in the day but...........Seasons Greetings from me!

I've been a bit absent from blogger as I tend to get a bit absorbed by Christmas. I've never been very good at juggling things and tend to be able to focus only on one thing at a time!

I thought the delightful victorian picture of the birds above was rather apt, as we have blue tits and long tailed tits in our garden. Along with territorial blackbirds, a lone robin, ring necked doves and waddling wood pigeons.

I shall be giving a lot of thought to my bear making and soft sculpture in the new year and giving my website another make over and developing some new designs. The elephant I've been making is completed and sits patiently on my desk waiting for his collar! I'm rather pleased with the way he has turned out.

Well, enjoy your festive breaks everyone and the biggest of thanks to those of you that have given a home to my bears or rabbits and thanks also to those of you who pop by and read my rabblings.

Hearty holiday hugs,

Fudge listed on ebay!

The lovely Fudge is now on ebay and hoping for a home for Christmas.

Here is his listing link

I hope you can pop by and visit him. He has a sweet wistful expression and I love his vintage look I've given him. He's starting much lower than his original website price. So if you've always toyed with the idea of giving him a home, maybe now could be the right time ;)

I'm busy here in my corner of the world! I've just finished another article for a collector's teddy bear magazine. This time New Zealand Teds magazine! It was a pleasure to do and I look forward to receiving my copy!

Busy in the garden getting everything ready for winter. I've been giving the chickens house a lick of fence paint, so its nice and tidy and extra protected from the apparently harse winter we are going to get here in the UK. The chickens will be getting some fatty treats to keep them warm and cosy!

I'm still working on my very first elephant! Where does the time go?

Anyway, I hope all of you that read this are well and happy.

Bye for now!

Hugs, Sarah xxx

Winter's ebay listing ends today!

Winter's ebay listing ends today, Sunday 23rd October, 6pm BST. To visit his listing click HERE

I've started him at £80.00 and his usual price is £120.00, which he will revert back to if he goes unsold. He's a very pretty bear and far more twinkly than his photos show!

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

Winter on ebay!

I've popped Winter on ebay HERE

He's starting at £80.00 much lower than his website price. Hope you can visit him!

I'm still busy working away. Spent this morning planting fruit trees! Well my Robert was digging the holes and I was tying them to their stakes and protecting them from the chickens! We have a Braeburn apple a Conference pear a Victoria plum and a Morello cherry. I don't hold out much hope for the cherries, as I think one of our resident squirrels will be quite partial to them, but you never know, he might have a savoury palate, rather than a sweet one.

The weathers getting very chilly here in the UK, more the weather it should be this time of year. I did find the baking heat in October slightly disconcerting!

Anyway, keep warm and happy!

Acorn on ebay!

I'm a little late in posting this! BUT, better late than never.

Acorn pictured above is now on ebay, until next Sunday the 9th. His listing is HERE.

Many thanks if you decide to pop along and visit his listing. He's a bear full of character! Such a pretty mohair too.

I have my thinking cap on for the TOBYS. A rather prestigious worldwide teddy bear and soft sculpture competition. You see the need for the thinking cap? I've an idea for an entry and it's not a bear OR a rabbit. Come to think of it, I may need a lightbulb for that lightbulb moment, along with the thinking cap.

Here in the UK we have been having a heatwave. Yes, in October. Tempretures are now swiftly dropping and we are due for snow.

Acorn has sold. Thank you!

In print!

It's been a long while since I have appeared in the Teddy Bear Times magazine. So you can imagine my delight when Faye of Teddy Bear Times asked me if I would like to write a piece in hand colouring eyes! She had seen a piece I had written for an online magazine.

I was eagerly awaiting the magazine coming out and a little nervous at the same time! I flicked quickly through the pages in our local stationers and there it was. I rather liked the way it happened to co-ordinate with the front cover! It was almost like I had developed a sixth sense when I sent in that photo of one of the eyes I had completed!

I must admit, it is strange to see your bears looking back at you from a magazine, when you are used to seeing them looking back at you through a computer screen or sat there in front of you in person!

Anyway, a big 'thank you' to Faye!

Peter Plum featured in the bottom left of the photos and Ashley, featured bottom far right, are still available from my website HERE .

I hope my blog post finds you all well and happy.
