Well I am enjoying the peace and quiet with no computer in my workroom - I am even getting used to the big black screen!  Is this a good sign I wonder!

Anyway not wanting to make Bears yesterday I made this rag wreath instead.  I cut out 420 squares from 5 fat quarters of christmassy material and prodded them all day into the polystyrene ring!  Very satisfying!

Have the need to make another one now, could have a house full by Christmas!  Ahh but then there is that new computer arriving soon and all those files and programmes that will need to be uploaded!  A very daunting job for next week.  Hope you like my Christmas Wreath - I have taken it off my door for now - little too early I think!  I can see Paul's face if I leave it up!

Wow it has been a long time since I visited my blog:  I am putting it down to a very busy summer!  I will try to do better in the coming months:

So let us start with my new Bear today: ROSINE - a very pretty little Bear wearing her coat and hat, my website can not be updated at the moment as I am without a computer - waiting for DELL to make me one and deliver it:

ROSINE can be viewed at BEARPILE though:

SASHA new Bear today

 Saying Hello to Sasha, my latest Bear, just love these new Tissavel faux furs, they are so soft and silky to the touch.  This one has a dark pruple backing with the beautiful pink tips, they just move in the breeze!

She is available from the website at the moment, hope you like her? x

BUTTER NUT!

Beautiful sunny Spring day here in Hampshire, the rain has been wonderful, everywhere is clean and fresh and bursting into life once more!  Need more rain by night and sun shine by day!  As if that is going to happen?
Anyway my latest Bear is BUTTER NUT, a very  happy Bear made just a little differently this time.  He has bent legs for sitting on the shelf or for dangling his legs over! and he has little bent arms too to finish off his rounded  cuddly body.  Available now from the website:

Hope you like him:

CARDIFF CASTLE RBLR 31st March 2012

Great day out today with the Riders Branch - it was our cheque presentation (that is all the funds we have raised as a group over the past year for the RBLR Poppy Appeal).  Our cheque was for £139,524.40.
So here we all are at the service station meet just outside Cardiff in Wales - what a 'mob' we all are!!

This is Paul on our Harley ready for the off!  we went in convoy to the Castle - was great riding through the town of Cardiff as a pack of 130 bikes!   

Just bikes in front as far as you could see!

Simon Weston, the Falklands veteran, accepted our cheque, he rode into the castle on a trike. 

I am in the crowd - find me if you can!!

As I said a great day,  a 260 miles round trip for Paul and myself on the Harley, first time over the Severn Bridge and first trip to Cardiff in Wales.  The foreigners were very welcoming and organized a wonderful day for us all.

SWEET PEA the Bunny

Must be nearly Spring here in the UK if there are Bunnies about!  My first of the year is Sweet Pea.  Oh so cuddly and soft and very white and pink!

BATHROOM COMPLETE!

Just one month after starting and many many problems as our house is old and the electrics were very old! we have our new Shower Room.  I will agree it is not to everyone's taste but Paul and I love the red and black and white.  As pictures tell the story I will leave you with them.  Just to say Thank You to Paul for all your hard work with no money or payment at the end of it!
