HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

Mum, you were amazing.  You taught me everything I needed to know about everything, especially art and sewing, raised four kids and were with Dad for over 50 years.  Not a day goes by that I don't think of you.  I love you, where ever you are.  Happy Mother's day.

HAPPY EASTER

I hope everyone has a lovely Easter weekend.  The weather her has been delightful.

TEDDY BEAR TIMES

I have had the pleasure of seeing my bears profiled in Teddy Bear Times, this month.  For those who don't get this UK magazine, as it is hard to find in North America, here is a copy of it.

GROWING UP

For those friends and family not on Facebook, this is a recent picture of our grandson, taken on a cruise in March. I think he is growing and changing more now, than when he was as a baby.  Almost a teenager - it's hard to believe.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 Wishing all of you a wonderful Merry Christmas and I hope you have the opportunity to enjoy the season with your loved ones.  We are sitting at Tim Hortons at Peason International Airport, waiting for our son to arrive home from South Korea.  Then our Christmas will officially begin!

 

 

 

HAPPY EASTER!

It doesn't seem like very long ago that it was Christmas, and Easter is upon us.  This winter has been so long and cold, the warm sun feels wonderful.   I was trying really hard to get some pieces done for Easter, but things kept getting in the way.  I wasn't even going to decorate for Easter, even though it's my favourite time of year.  Then we got some news that our niece's husband, had a heart attack at 48 years old and that our 11 year old grandson is experiencing heart issues and needs to see a pediatric cardiologist.  Suddenly, the bears and bunnies just didn't matter.  I've spent the last two days decorating the house and making our traditional Easter egg treats.    Our son is home from Uni for the weekend and we will all be together for Easter.  That's the only thing that matters.  Here are some of our Easter decorations.  Enjoy.

TOBY INDUSTRY CHOICE AWARD 2015

I found out this week that my wee bear and his friend, 'Oscar and Felix the Frog' have won a 2015, Toby Industry Choice Award. Now that it is officially posted on the Teddy Bear and Friends website, I can share it here.  I am over the moon because I know the level of the entries in this competition is world class.  It is a lovely honour to be included with so many of my peers, whom I admire, and to share these pictures with you.  I hope you enjoy them.  If you would like to see a complete list of all the winners, click here .
