~~Happy New Year Sale On Ebay!~~

With the New Year almost here I decided to clear out my etsy shop to make way for new designs so I listed the orphans from my last update on ebay~~~~most starting at $9.99 with no reserve!If you would like to visit their auctions just click on this link*~*xxxxxSharie  http://www.ebay.com/sch/merchant/sharier2005_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ

Thinking small for the New Year

With the new year almost here I have new plans for my designs.I miss making little bears and friends so this will be on my list for the new year.I also plan to take things a bit slower,no more big updates of 12 or plus listings......its getting a bit too stressfull and less stress is a good thing.My goal is to offer new creations every week or two with the occasional update of 6 at one time.I also plan to work on new patterns for my etsy shop and hopefully they will be available by February.I plan on listing jointed mohair and felt teddy bear patterns and maybe some supplies like hand dyed felt and mohair along with some kits that I have had many requests for.First I need to get my printer in order before I begin,it got bumped off the stand and caused to ink to mix so all I get when I print is a horrible yellow picture of the image!I think a new pack of ink will fix the problem.....fingers crossed.So thats about it for now and I'll be sure to post the new minis once they are completed.Have a wonderful New Year!xxxxxxSharie

~~Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

snicker style kitty order 2 ADOPTED

Hi everyone~I finally have some new kitty and elly designs available on ebay auction http://www.ebay.com/sch/merchant/sharier2005_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ
  It has been a difficult road getting the gang ready for their update.My sister has been in the hospital with a ruptured appendix that left her very ill.She has had two surgeries since last Saturday but will be going home tommorow~thank goodness!Along with my update I had 2 special order kitties like Snickers to complete and as you can see they do not look alike in any way~they never do as I can not make two of the same even when I try*~*I do have many more creations I couldn't get completed but I will post some pics as soon as they are in progress.....hugsxxxxxxSharie

New works in progress~Folk Art coming soon~



Original folk art kitty doll

Its been a busy week working on new designs and some revamped old designs for my next update.Above is a very antique looking kitty,snow white for now without any shading or tabby stripes.She is a new design with a seperate head attatched to the body.Next is my antique style bear,like Maxwell but with a plumper three piece design body.I wanted this new body for him as I tend to make the bodies a tad too thin,then find I have problems with the bear being able to sit once the legs are attatched.This plump fellow will have no problems sitting on his own*~*And the last pic is one of my art doll kitties from a couple of years ago.I am also revamping this design,leaving out the hand painting and focusing on using printed fabrics in all different color themes for spring~fall~Halloween~Christmas and clown styles.There will be kitties,pandas,old time bears and other teddy friend styles.These will be available on a weekly basis in my etsy shop.I have some in progress and will post some pics as soon as I find time.You may have noticed I closed my Big Cartel shop for now.I just find it too hard to have an etsy shop,ebay auctions and a seperate web shop.If I had a clone I migh have been able to pull it off lol.So thats it for now but I will post new works soon.~~~~Sharie
