**Busy Busy!~~New kitty cats,bear,bunny and patterns in the making~~~

Hi everyone,I haven't had much time to post since I returned from my brief vacation.I have been consumed working on my new kitties and friends,and even some new patterns that I am hoping to offer soon. I am so proud of my newest kitty pictured in the blue hat.He is still a work in progress,and is my largest kitty to date measuring 15 inches tall,not including his tail and is completely jointed.
He is loosely based on my real kitty Rudy in the pics below.He is made from white mohair with handpainted accents and has a pressed mohair muzzle.I will keep secret what his outfit will be until he is completed (hint....it will match his blue velvet hat :)

.. Next is the white felt kitty I was talking about in an older post,how her little head looked so real in my hands,and I am just thrilled with the way she is turning out.....she reminds me of a kitten puppet!Of course as you can see her head is on a temporary brown body waiting for her own to be finished hehe.Next is a group of felt slimkins which are also in the making still needing a few finishing touches.and last but not least is my very first pattern line that will be available in the next couple of weeks!I can't wait until they are completed as I have been wanting to offer patterns of my bears&friends for such a long time.I am planning on listing the big tabby kitty and the felt slimprims on Ebay by Thursday with the patterns and little cream felt kitty coming soon.I will post any new updates before listing on Ebay!~~~~Sharie

~~Back from my 3 day getaway at Wisconsin Dells~~

Hi everyone!I thought I would share some photos of my mini vacation at Wisconsin Dells.Me,my husband,my sister and a close family friend stayed at a wonderful motel called the Indian Trail located a short distance from mainstreet(Broadway)in Wisconsin dells.We did a lot of shopping,way too much eating(I am trying to stick to a diet!)and a lot of sight seeing but the most fun we had was in the indoor pool along with the hot tub and the sauna.I have posted some pics including the main enterance (pool house to left)

the area that we stayed with a short walk to the pool house doors,the pool itself and a photo of the pool house lit up in the evening.It did get a bit chilly and rainy but for the most part we had a very relaxing time.Our trip back home wasn't so pleasant as it poored rain during most of the drive.It's great to be back home and I can get back to working on my bears and friends that I will have finished for next week.I will try to post some works in progress soon!~~~~Sharie

***New Ebay Teddy Store now open***

After much debate,I have decided to open my ebay store with new offerings and some of the gang from my etsy shoppe.It's not that I dislike etsy in any way,but artist bears seem to have a long waiting period to be adopted into new homes.Here are two new teddies I have available on ebay,Molly the beautiful pink toned panda on the left is listed in my store and Twinkles,the sweet faced teal blue toned panda(love the way his coloring turned out!)is listed on auction for 5 days ending on Sunday evening.Little Bonbon the 7in creamy pink panda is also on ebay auction.

I hope you like them and get the chance to visit their listings.I also have more bears in progress including the felt kitty and teddy I was describing in an earlier post along with some more felt clowns that will also be completed soon.I will update their pics as soon as they are completed.~~~~Sharie
