ISN'T SHE BEAUTIFUL????

Isn't Joy absolutely gorgeous? She is my Christmas Swap. I did a Swap with Susan Mitchell from Blue Valley Bears. It was the first time that I have done a Swap with anybody, but what great fun. It was so exciting receiving the box in the post and opening it, and seeing the wonderful bear that had been made for me.

NEW WORKSHOP

I will be doing one day workshops on the 16th & 17th January 2010 at Teddys Bits, Castle Hill, NSW. We will be making Kassandra, a gorgeous bunny in a soft pink mohair and white alpaca. She has detailed appliqued pads on her feet. For more information, please contact me on susan@bearleighbears.com. Here is a photo of her.

He Ho, He Ho, It's off to Woodend I go!!!!

I am going to Woodend Teddy Bear Show in Victoria today, flying there today, doing the show tomorrow and then flying back in the evening on Sunday. I am looking forward to this show and also to meet a few of the ladies from TBACA that I have only ever spoken to by e-mail. This is a picture of the main street. It is a quaint town in the Macedon Ranges in Victoria.

It's a Dog's Life

Here are photos of Honey and Sam relaxing.........no stress in their lives. Aren't they just gorgeous??? They are brother and sister and are cross labradors/golden retrievers.

AREN'T THESE CUTE!!!

Here are two new bears that I have just completed. I found the containers that they are in and then created the bears to fit in them. I just love the way they have turned out. Blossom is the little bear in the pod with a blue cap and wool trim skirt and Dewdrop is the little white bear made from Japanese silk in the glass dewdrop lying on a bed of moss and flowers. Go to my website: www.bearleighbears.com for more information.

A BEAUTIFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

Don't you love spring? When everything bursts into life after being dormant for winter. Here are
a few photos from my garden. Starting with Blueberries, camellias, clivia's, strawberries and a minature azalea in full bloom. Hope that you enjoy it as much as I do!!!!! Get into your garden and look around!!! I hope that this season I get to eat the strawberries and blueberries before the possums!!!!

NOW YOU CAN SEE

Over the weekend of the 5th & 6th September 2009 I took part in an online show with www.who is who-in-bearmaking.com. Now I can show you the bears that I had on show there. They are Snuggles, Oreo and Kaitlyn starting from the left. Snuggles is on his way to his new mom in New South Wales, Australia. The others will soon be available on my website.
