Cover of Teddy Bear & Friends!

I got a HUGE surprise in my email in box the other day from Mindy - the editor at Teddy Bear & Friends. She has chosen my bear "Jamie" to be on the cover of this month's issue!!

If you enjoy making bears.... be sure to open this month's issue as it contains the pattern to make Jamie the soccer bear - complete with bendable arms and legs. I'd LOVE to see the bears that you make from the pattern!

I've been Profiled in TBCI

I was very honored to have my profile published in the British teddy bear magazine: Teddy Bear Club International.

This British teddy bear magazine is published monthly as compared to bimonthly for our US teddy magazines.

The subscription cost to TCBI is a little pricey at $110 USD. But you DO get 12 issues instead of 12 and it does have to be imported also.

The cool thing about Teddy Bear Club International is if you want to subscribe but $110 a year is too steep, they offer an "IMag" for around $20 a year. You can read the magazine online and even print it out.

If you still want the actual paper publication... but don't want to pay for the full year all at once, you can also purchase one issue at a time as they come out.

I'm not trying to sell teddy magazines LOL! Just sharing another addiction :) If you are interested, you can find more info on their website: www.Planet-Teddybear.com

Marvellous Max in TBCI - is now on eBay!

I think the September issue of "Teddy Bear Club International" may have been out for a little while... but it is now in the States! (It is a British teddy magazine)

They have published a pattern I designed exclusively for their magazine - and I am thrilled!

Marvellous Max - the original bear I created for the magazine, is now available on eBay here.

This teddy magazine is a MONTHLY magazine! It is a little pricier than our US mags because you get more issues... and it comes from overseas...but it is awesome!

They have another cool option - and that is the "I magazine". You can subscribe to view the magazine online instead for only about $20 per year. You can find subscription info here.
