This lovely 12" bear, I finished last night. Katie is made from the softest plush. Her pads & inner ears are cotton fabric. She is 5 way cotter pin jointed with glass eyes. Her body is stuffed with heavy weight polyfil, just to give her a little added weight. She wears a little heart pendant around her neck.

Peony, I finished a few days ago but have only just got round to photographing her. She is made from viscose, has glass eyes with eyelashes, is 5 way cotter pin jointed & her body is poly & steel shot filled. She wears a little button hat. Peony stands at 5.5", although because of her weight she is more comfortable sitting down!!

Introducing Daisy Mae a little 5.5" bear made from crushed mohair.
Below her is Ted, 9", made from sparse mohair.
All bears listed on here are available for adoption, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

 When I was out with the dogs this morning, very early, I heard an owl hooting. I'm hoping it is the resident Barn Owls that usually visit our field at this time of year. These photos were taken last year, the top pic, he's on the hunt, second pic is after the kill, & the third pic is him chilling on the fence post. Both the male & female come, sometimes together, to hunt on the field because it is left on the rough side, & apparently that is what the owls like.
If they do come again this year I'm hoping for better photos 'cos we have a new all singing, all dancing camera now!!!

My lovely eldest grandson Sam. 
Sam has been in the Royal Engineers for almost two years now, & has just finished his second stint of training at Chatham in Kent. He was at Winchester initially, where he "passed out". The above photo is of him from the passing out parade.He has now flown off to Gibralter to visit a friend, before returning to his new permanent base, Tidworth.
I do have a proud nana moment where I can say that Sam finished his course at Chatham top of his class.
The second photo is Sam & his nephew Bobby, (my great grandson!!!!) I have to say it is one of my favourite photos.

Two bears from 2013...thought I better let them see the light of day. The blue one is Murrey, made from mohair & 9" standing, the second one is Reggie again in mohair & standing at 8".

Received this yesterday, my entry in the poem section came 5th, quite chuffed with that as I've never been one for poetry. Although if you read it you will see I'm no Byron!!!!

Austin my first bear of 2014. A blonde mohair boy, 5 way cotterpin jointed, glass eyes, body, polyfil & plastic pellets. This bear has a smile, not something I do very often, but I thought he might brighten up a dull January day.
