Do you Bonanzle?

2009-10-19T18:04:00.001-07:00

Well I didn't have much luck with Etsy or Artfire so I'm trying out a new website to sell my stuff. It's called Bonanzle. It's free to list and you only pay a tiny fee when you sell. Check out my booth by clicking here.

Victoria - Available on Bonanzle

2009-02-16T12:06:00.001-08:00

Hi everyone. I bought this fabulous faux fur a long time ago and did make a couple of bears out of it for my nieces. It is the most luxurious plush faux fur I've ever felt so I decided to make another bear out of it. This is Victoria and she is so soft, you won't want to put her down. She is available on Bonanzle.

Yikes, it's Cold Today

2008-12-03T15:49:00.001-08:00

We have been so spoiled this winter. It is December 3rd and today it was -10 Celcius. For this time of year in Alberta, that's a really great temperature. However, today it just felt darn cold because it has been so nice. I'm trying to be good and go for walks everyday. Today, I cut it short. (I'm embarassed to say so). The wind was just too darn cold. My forehead was freezing.

One of these days, it's going to be -20 and then -10 will feel fabulous. It's all relative I guess. My Dad reminded me that December 21st, the days start to get longer already. Yeah - something to look forward to!

I re-posted Sophie on The Teddy Patch. I know I said I was going to wait, but what the heck - IT'S FREE TO LIST.

Where have all the buyers gone?

2008-11-29T14:34:00.001-08:00

Is it just me or have all the teddy bear buyers/collectors disappeared? I haven't sold anything in awhile. I guess I'll be making bears for myself these days until things improve. It must be the economy and I know everyone is tightening up. I hope it changes soon. Anyone else having the same problem?

Sophie - Available for Adoption

2008-11-23T16:51:00.001-08:00

This is Sophie. She is made of mohair and is about 9" tall when sitting. She is my baby bear design. Sophie is still up for adoption on Bonanzle. Click here to go to my Bonanzle booth and find out all about her.

A Good Day to Stay Inside

2008-11-22T15:12:00.000-08:00

It's November 22nd and this is what I woke up to today. Oh well, it is November in Canada. We're actually lucky that this is the first big snowfall. Last year it came in early October and stayed until April.

It's a good day to stay inside and make a teddy bear. I will be listing one later today on Bid4Bears. They have a special promotion for 50% off fees, but my coupon number won't work. I will post a picture and a link to the auction just as soon as I get it all sorted out.
