A Tribute to the 1960's
Does anyone remember the 1960's Troll dolls. I do, and I just love them.
My Grandmother used to collect them I guess in that way I take after her I love all things Ugly cute. I can remember we used to buy her a new Troll every Birthday, Mothers day and Christmas. Her collection was massive she had Trolls in every size and style imaginable it extended into every room.
I came across one of her smaller ones at my mothers a couple of months ago and it inspired me to create my Troll bears. This is my tribute to one the 1960's classics and my Beautiful Nana also a classic. I know she will be looking down at them with a smile, hope you like them too.

Introducing the Bush Nymphs !!
Life has been quite hectic since my last blog. I have been busy trying to get myself organised to travel to Victoria to attend theWoodend show on the 31st of Oct.
This will be the first time I have attended this show, getting more and more excited as it gets closer.
I found these frogs a couple of weeks ago in a small Newsagency and just had to buy them. I loved them so much I bought all they had. I could just see a Snugglepot and Cuddlepie kind of a bear on them. Sooo cute!! I thought I would share a sneak peak with you of the 2 new bears I have made using my frogs.
They are called Bush Nymphs.There names are Angophora and Callistemon. Hope you like them.

Oops! Slight miscalculation.

Finally !!!
Hey there,
Thought it was time I finally got my butt into gear and updated my Blog (thanks Sandi).
Where to start!! there has been loads happening since my last blog.
I attended the Gold Coast show in June and as usual had a Great time. It would have to be one of my favourite shows very organised, very trader and consumer friendly. The show was well attended and I very much enjoyed talking to the many Makers, Collectors and Traders. It's always nice to catch up with everyone and it's no secret I'm always up for a chat. I also participated in quite a bit of retail therapy because if you don't get it when you see it you won't have it when you need it (isn't that how it goes). This show is one I highly recommend you put in your diary as a must attend for next year. Thanks Patti and Graham for making us all feel special.
On a more personal note my youngest Grandchild turned one last month, hard to believe they grow up so quick. She is walking (or should I say running) and has been for a couple of months. She has an ever growing vocabulary including Ama (this is the name all my grandchildren call me) which I am quite chuffed about. My Grandson is now two and a half ( they are my Sons children) and my eldset Grandchild (my daughters Son ) will be 7 in October. Time goes so fast I'm sure it won't be long before I'm blogging about them getting there licence (scary)
By the way this is the first time I have done my blog myself I usually write it out with pen and paper (the old fashioned way) and my Daughter does it all. Thought it was time I took the bull by the horns, take a deep breath and just do it. Not as bad as I thought a bit slow with the typing but proud of myself.
On that note I will say Goodnight and will try not to leave it too long before my next blog.
Will add a few photos of some of my latest creations soon.
Cheers Lyn.

Sydney Teddy Bear Fair 2010
Hey There,
I attended the STBF on Sunday and had a great day (as usual).
The show was well attended and I participated in much retail therapy, spending too much on yummy fur I just had to have.
I also thought I might share some of my favourite bears with you.

Bob and Marley
Gaylian
Smokey and Trigger
The only down for the day happened on the way home. 15 mins from the venue I was rear ended by another car pushing me into the car in front. This resulted in the back of my car being caved right in and some minor damage to the front. NOT HAPPY JAN!!! At least everyone was OK (people and bears) so I guess I should be grateful for that.
My Poor Car
Anyway I didn't let it put a damper on my day.
On a happier note I was thrilled to find out my Rainbow Riders took out 1st place in the Diorama section of the STBF Competition. HOW EXCITING!!
Bye for now
Lyn
