Lottie

 Introducing two newbies. Lottie is a 7.5" ellie who I designed & cut out earlier this year & finally finished last week.
Izzy I started, I don't know when, but found her in a plastic bag partly sewn, while looking for something else.....is'nt that always the way!!! Izzy has been adopted.
By the way Izzy is 4.5"

Well it's been a while since I've posted, I've been looking after my elderly mother for the last 3 months but sadly she passed away 2 weeks ago & having said our final goodbyes on Monday life now has to start getting back to normal.
I have had 2 commissions to do, which I have now finally finished & am posting the pic for you to see.

While I'm not actually making any bears at the moment, I do still have several for adoption.
So if you would like to give one a hug, pop over to my website, www.lanesendbears.weebly.com & have a look. All bears & critters now have 10% off.

Well it's been a while since I've blogged!!! Been looking after my dear old mum, who has now come to live with us.
She had a fall back in mid November & spent 5 week's in hospital. She was deemed fit by the medical "experts" to go back home & live on her own, with the help of carers 3 times a day.
I have to say if that had happened, she would have been back in hospital or worse within weeks!!!
She can do very little for herself, & eating is a nightmare, it is a constant battle to get food down her.
Add to all this the dementia & my life has changed drastically. No painting or bear making is getting done, but I do have to say I don't really have the inclination at the moment!!!
Well that's my catch up for now.
Speak to you all soon.

Now I know I haven't blogged much lately, but I have entered two bears in a photographic competition. Luckily the photos aren't being judged, just the bears. So I'm adding the photos here, & if you feel you like the bears enough, perhaps you could vote for them. 
The competition is the INTBAA & Victoria is in the best dressed bear section & Thea is in the best dressed mini bear section.
Thanking you in advance xx.

visits.

Busy painting at the moment, have Weald & Downland Christmas Market coming up at the weekend. This is a huge event, stands in all the old museum buildings, stands dotted about the grounds, & queues to get in. The traffic jams last year were rumoured to be up to 5 miles long!!!! & literally thousands of people.
Anyway posting 3 pics of bears for you, 2 just finished & the little yellow chappie I posted awhile
back but have now named him & painted a little pastry tin for him to sit in!!!!

Drizzle as in lemon drizzle
