Teddies Worldwide Christmas Treasures show

I am pleased to announce that I will be participating in this years Christmas Treasures online show.
Exciting!! as Christmas is my all time favourite celebration of the year..so many ideas running round in my head I can't wait to create them in the fur so to speak.

Happily Married

I was having a much needed clean up on my cameras memory and look who I found.

Margaret and Byrne the bride and groom trolls I was commissioned to make earlier this year. They were named after the lovely Margaret Byrne from the UK  http://www.dream-veils.co.uk/index.html who makes the most wonderful bespoke veils and kindly sends me Goodie bags full of silk samples and tulle off cuts.

Margaret's dress is made from one of the  4" sq samples of embroidered dupion silk and her veil is made from silk tulle off cuts. One man's trash is definitely another man's treasure.

Margaret ( 3 1/2") and Byrne (4 1/2") 

Hope you like them I think they make a handsome couple.

Bears That Care

This year as with previous years I will be creating a special  bear for the Bears That Care auction to raise funds for Ovarian cancer research. For 2012 they will be holding this in the form of an online show so everyone can participate.

New Shoes!!

We took my 2 year old Grand daughter shopping for new winter shoes the other day. She is quite the trendy one for her age just loves shopping for new clothes and shoes and knows exactly what she wants.

She had it all planned out she was getting a pair of booloo (blue ) shoes with flowers nere ( pointing to the middle of the top of her foot ) and SPARKLES. Not a tall order to fill at all !!

Once we entered the shop she was in heaven and quickly set about picking shoes to try ( not one blue pair amongst them ). After trying MANY pairs of beautiful shoes we finally settled on a lovely mushroom pink pair of Ciao court shoes with Diamanté studs on the strap (not a flower in sight). She was just a little disappointed the purple sparkle shoes didn't fit.

After paying for them her mother gave her the bag with her new shoes in to hold while we packed up. Taking our eyes off her for only a few seconds we turned around to find her in seventh heaven at the sale table filling her bag with as many pretty shoes as she could (how embarrasment).

Thankfully the shop assistant thought it was cute and rather funny which I suppose it was but it didn't seem so at the time.

All I can say is watch out Emelda because Hayley is on the way.
