What to Work on Next????

Well, today I'm working on more teddy bear ornaments, but I've got so many ideas in my head that I don't know what I want to work on next! So many bears are living in my imagination right now...There's a sweet mini white bear, a new puppy, an angel, a wonderful large (14" for me is large ;) ) Mint Chocolate Chip Panda Bear, a new teddy bear elf pattern to design to offer on my patterns site (along with a free teddy bear ornament pattern)... and so many more!

I guess you'll just have to see who fights their way to the front of my imagination ;)

Souvenier Bears from Chicagoland Teddy Bear Show

Finally got around to photographing the few remaining souvenir bears from the Chicagoland Teddy Bear Show. If you were not able to make it, you can still adopt a souvenir bear! They were made by both Daphne & myself. You can choose which one you want too ;) They are available here: http://www.artfire.com/users/teddiesbylauralynn

Teddy Bear Ornaments in the Making!

I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving! I have started on some teddy bear ornaments and hope to have them ready this week. I did have some ready earlier, but they were adopted right after I put them on my website :)

The rest of the ornaments will follow a similar theme... a bear in knit stocking, sweater or cap. Here are photos of the first ones...

Sneak Preview... Lil Nutmeg

My gosh, the weather in Chicago this weekend is just fabulous! It's sunny and in the 70's. I've still been playing catch up... working on bears that got neglected while preparing for the show and after show paperwork. I've not been online lately so I can try to catch up!

I had to pop on so give a sneak preview of Lil' Nutmeg though :) He should be about 5" tall when he's all done. He's made from yummy soft premium faux fur and will be fully jointed. Hopefully will have him all ready for pictures tomorrow!

New Bears... FINALLY!!

Hi everyone!

Once more I appear to have fallen of the earth ;) But I'm here... really! The Chicagoland Teddy Bear Show as a huge success! You can see photos of it on our Facebook Fan page here ... and you don't need to be a member of Facebook to see the photos.

I finally have 2 new bears looking for homes! Please meet Blitzen and Vixen - 2 Half Pint Christmas Elf bears! They can be found on my website's Bears for Adoption page here.

Now... back to my studio and more mohair ;)
