Back to Normal!

New computer has arrived from Dell on the 23rd October as promised.  Oh how pleased I am that all files were backed up on to a hardrive -   that said mind you  installing the virus checker and the mail took long enough last night and then installing all the programs for my website and pictures etc.
All is still not perfect but at least it runs at high speed and it will grow as the days go past!
Not an exciting present, expensive but necessary!  and I have enjoyed my time without it:

Below is Wreath No 2, think I will make these as Christmas presents for family and friends, I have bought 4 more rings and material so more may follow:

This one was made from 5 fat christmas quarters mostly green but with one red
colour and one white colour 420 squares again!

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:
