Happenings .........................

Finally after weeks of constant stitching I seem to be achieving something. At the moment I have a frozen shoulder and neck which is affecting progress, the downside of sitting stitching constantly I suppose. Really miss my spineologist, he would sort it out in a matter of bone crunching minutes!
We have a shelf in our workroom where the completed bears sit, waiting to be photographed for the web page and final labelling for the show. The shelf is slowly filling up with a nice variety of creations. A picture of some of my remaining bears waiting to be finished.

Between stitching I have made some changes to my blog, new background etc as well as a different font which imitates handwriting. I like the effect but was told it is hard to read and I would welcome any comments.

and now for some 'aahhhhhhh factor'. I take the opportunity whilst grabbing a cup of tea to visit the various blogs I follow and found the most amazing pictures of sleeping rats holding tiny bears! 

This is just one of a selection of pictures on

Now back to work, bears (and hare/cat) are waiting. Hope to have some preview pics of show pieces up soon.
