My sister blog up and running!

Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well and for anyone living in cold wintery climates(like me!) I'm sure you are trying to keep warm during these cold,snowy days.For those living in the warm,sunny areas...I envy you soooo much,wish it were me! Well I have a quick little update to my blogging situation here on blogger.As you might have read in some of my older posts I have been encountering one problem after another on this blog trying to upload photos or adding new links.The photo system doesn't load and the page elements are frozen.So,I have decidided to add my sister blog(actually my very 1st blog) link to keep you updated on photos and works in progress.I have also added links to my website,ebay and etsy store for quick viewing.I am also pondering the idea of offering some of my bears and friends directly on my sister blog starting next year.I hope you can find the time to visit me on my other blog http://sreetzbears.wordpress.com/ Thank you!~~~sharie

November updates

Hi everyone,hope you are all well and not getting too chilly with winter approaching quickly!Anyway,I wanted to share my special orders with you.I think they turned out pretty sweet and I'm hoping they will be loved by their new mommies!The pink kitty put me a bit behind schedual as I ran into several problems with her.I grabbed the wrong size pattern for her,she was supposed to be 6 and a half inches tall and dumb dumb me used the 8inch pattern by mistake so I found I needed to set in larger eyes and find a way to make this shorter mohair still appear fluffy.In the end I was happy with her results even though she looks a bit different than her sister Rosey.You may have noticed I have been adding my flickr photos to my blog as I still can't get any pictures to load!It must be my firewall and I need to have it fixed~~~Soon!Well thank you for taking the time to visit my blog,I'll try to keep updates on new creations.~~~Sharie

I just wanted to update a few things that had been going on with my stores and my bears.Great news!the teddy that went missing...Kody..(in the photo)....was finally found in the post office!the poor thing had been lost in there for almost an entire month.I was so relieved to hear the good news.I also want to mention that I will be adding more bears and friends to my ebay store along with more items from my craft booth such as little handpainted pillows that would look great in the arms of a teddy,primitive country candles and other goodies!

October updates&new arrivals in my etsy shop

Hi everyone,I hope you are enjoying the fall season as it is always a beautiful time of the year.So far October hasn't been too kind to me.I have had some bad luck that has had me feeling a bit in the dumps.For the first time ever,I had one of my teddy bear shipments go missing.I should have known better but did not add insurance or delivery confirmation as I had sent to this bearmom before.I wasn't even feeling that bad about refunding the amount,it was the waiting to see if maybe he was delivered to the wrong address and might show up,but sadly he didn't.The bear I am talking about is Kody the kodiak bear and I can only hope wherever he ended up he will be treated as something special,and most definitely not given as a plaything to a child.This was a great lesson to be learned and shared,never feel too safe with mailing your prized possesions as they can never be replaced.I am getting over this day by day and have even finished some new creations for my etsy shop.I tried to post pictures of them here on my blog,but for some reason couldn't get them to load.You can have a peek at them by clicking my etsy link.I have 2 kitties and a Japanese inspired teddy bear listed.I have also lowered my prices a bit and now add insurance and delivery confirmation in the US shipping price so that no other teddy or friend will go missing.Biggest hugsxxxxxSharie

July updates


Hi everyone! It's been so long since my last post,I thought I'd give a quick update as to what has been going on in July.I have been busy doing work to my home such as small repairs and painting, filling in for my husband who is still mending from his surgery but is doing great! I also had the chance to do a great deal of sewing my little bears&friends.I have 7 that are stuffed and waiting for their little faces and accents to be completed.Also near completion are 3 kitties and one little panda bear that will be listed in my etsy shop for pinky week.The next bit of news is that I was lucky to be the winner of 2 ebay auctions for mohair lots(I never usually win,always being outbid at the last minute).I was ecstatic to say the least and was even more pleased when the mohair arrived,it was just beautiful! I felt like I won the lottery...lol.I will post the pics for pinky week when they are completed and update on more teddies&friends once they become available.~~~Hugs~~~Sharie

*New Bear & Kitties Works In Progress Preview*







Here is a peek at the new bears & kitties that I have been hard at work trying to complete for my etsy shop and ebay.The weather has been so much better so I have been busy as a bee working on them.The two pink mohair kitties are special orders and I hope their new mommies will like them when they are completed.I also have a very sweet faced cream&yellow mohair kitty,a small curly mohair panda bear and last but not least my newest design,the one piece teddy with ears created into his head design.I think this design is great with that old hug me look.I haven't decided if his eyes will be blue as shown in his photo or brown with additional shading around them.I hope to have this crew ready by Wednesday and will post their photos once they are completed. Thanks for visiting!~~~Sharie

***New bears&kitties coming soon***


Hi everyone!It's been awhile since I've had a chance to post so I thought I should update my blog.I have many bears and kitties in the making....2 special order pink mohair kitties,1 striped tabby mohair kitty,some wee sized bears including some pinkies and a brand new design that I am so happy with!It is a one piece design teddy with the ears incorparated into the head....making a so sweet hug me look!I plan on listing my new teds n kitties in my etsy shop when they are completed.As always,I will update their pics on my blog.I found myself quite busy again(as always..lol)with a simple task of some spring cleaning that ended up into a full re-arranging and organizing my whole home and my teddy work area.What a job!Then came the new area rug,lamps,curtains and so on.Just when everything was neat and tidy,the rain came for days turning our small creek into a river!I had to stay alert until late last night and by a small miracle the water went down enough so I could finally get some rest.I live in Wisconsin and the southeast area was declared a diasaster area.It was so bad that in Wisconsin Dells,a major tourist area Lake Delton burst and washed into the Wisconsin river after taking many homes with it.I feel so sorry for the residents there and find it unbelievable the lake that was so famous is now an empty mudhole. This was where our family vacationed every year for the last 12 years.I also feel bad for the many families all through Wisconsin and the midwest that are flooded out of their homes due to the heavey rain.Well I will sign off for now and post updates on my newest creations***xxxxxx***Sharie
