Happy New Year!

It's almost the new year!

Happy New Year!!

My New Year's Resolution: put more bears and some other neat things in my shop this year. Now let's see if I can accomplish that!

Bear and bunny jumble

Bears, bunnies and tinies. The tinies are only an inch tall and fully jointed. 

Random bear pictures

This little oyster colored bear is available for adoption, and will soon be put on Etsy.

 The Purple bear in the middle is adopted, but the other two are available.

This pic is a pink extravaganza! The little bunny is one inch tall, for size reference. Isn't the picture frame cute? It was $1.00 at a rummage sale. The last pic is of one of the stars of my new blog venture, a tiny bear lives here, which is going to be about the lives of the bears that live with me and my family.

Bears and a monkey in the works

I have a lot of projects in the works. I have about 15 bear heads lying around. Unfortunately, I am getting a new studio, (you can see pics in my yummicorp blog), and I can't find the matching bear fabrics to make the bodies for the heads. One of my favorite little heads is this cheeky monkey. Isn't he cute?

 one of my projects around Christmas time was doing a little custom kitty! It was so much fun. First I did a sketch, then emailed it to make sure I was on the right track. Finally, I created a pattern, because this was the first animal I've done in this size, not quite a micro, but way smaller than my usual.

 She was Soo much fun to create, and a real big challenge, too. I felt like I was all thumbs working in this size. She is the perfect size for my little cottage, though, so I'm gonna have to make myself a little kitty maybe...

 This bear I just listed on Etsy. He is a little Grizzlee bear. With a little longer snout than some of my bears. I hand knit his little scarf from a beautiful yarn found at an estate sale, and vintage pom poms on the ends. Very cozy for the winter!

Time to Party

I added a few more things to my etsy shop, including this little ON SALE bear. Also, here's a pic of my shabby mantle as it looks now:

Old mirror from an estate sale, chippy candleholders from eBay, candle lantern from Michaels a couple of years ago, and yellow living room paint was about 9 different paints from estate sales, garage sales, leftovers, etc.. My sweetheart and I just stuck them all together in a huge bucket and remixed them to come up with what I think is THE perfect shade of yellow. 

And finally, I thought it was high time to post a picure of myself. although this is from hiking last summer, and I am in disguise thanks to some bearded man moss (that's what we call it around here). 

Toodles!
