Its all too hard ...

I knew this blog thing would be a learning curve but why does it all have to become too hard!! I still can't get the Post Comments to load - it just doesn't want to do it!!! Thanks Sandi for your help but...


Anyway on to more interesting things. I managed to finish a bear yesterday. Her name is "Sophie" She is an old styled traditional bear which I made from felted mohair which I like to use. She is 18cm/7" tall which is a big bear for me. I dressed Sophie in a jacket that I made from a lacy collar that I hand dyed, and which was handknitted by my friend Judy Buist. It ties at the neck with a silk ribbon and a glass bead which was made by my sister-in-law Jennifer Findlay. Jenn creates the most amazing glass beads - http://www.jenniferfindlay.com/

I've finally got started...

After much procrastination I've finally got started ! Although I am wondering what I am going to write. I've never been much of a diary writer so we'll see what happens.

It's a glorious morning here in Maleny with yet another beautiful sunrise and the mist lying over Lake Baroon. Its going to be another beautiful day in paradise.

Today would be a perfect day for gardening but as I am stuffed up with a cold and flu like symptoms I think I will just have to have a lazy day working on some bears I need for the upcoming shows. I suddenly realised that the Sydney Show was only 2 weeks away not the 3 as I had thought. Hope fully tomorrow I will be able to post some new creations
