This evening I'm taking a break from sewing 

and doing a bit of drawing. 

I think I'm going to attempt to design myself a tattoo! 

Selvedge Magazine

We have decided to apply for a stand at the 

Selvedge Spring Fair this year! 

Here are some photographs 

we are going to se send in hope they will like 

the work and pick us for a table! 

Sophie!

We have just rescued this little barrel! She has made herself at home very 

quickly as you can see. 

She used to live with an elderly lady who couldn't look after

her anymore. So we've take her in and she now sleeps on 

the sofa, gets a lovely long walk and generally spoilt! 

Sophie is now the 9th old mutt we've saved from the pound! 

These are just a few shots from the very messy work table! 

Liberty's Tomorrow! 

Just going through and choosing the last little

creatures to take tomorrow.

I'm also trying to work out the final details

of my pitch. Got to make sure 

I get my figures right! 

The French Bull Dogs will be coming 

with me tomorrow. I think they

have so much character, but I guess

I'm a bit bias! 

Alice In Wonderland Hare 

These are the first two hares I have made.

The hare in red was commissioned with the theme of

Alice In Wonderland.  

It took quite a while to get the head correct for 

the hare. The ears are double layered

and have wire running around the edge to 

keep them stiff. 

The 'Alice' bear has themed objects hanging

from his backpack such as, a hop hat, 

playing cards, a watch, magic potion etc. 

The lady who commissioned this special 

hare has also asked me to consider doing all the

characters from 'Alice In Wonderland'

What an curious prospect! 

They both have matching eye

patches with hand printed

'A Threadbear Production'

lettering.

Looking back at a few of my Christmas presents.

A personalised piece of wood made by one of

my best friends, Gregg, who is studying 

Furniture at High Wycombe. 

A lovely piece of vintage fabric from my uncle.

This beautiful black and purple floral dates back 

to the mid 1800's. I'm one lucky girl! 

Hand stitched floral embroidery. 

Liberty's 

A week tomorrow I have the very scary task of pitching my 

bears, pugs, frech bulldogs and hares to the buyers 

of the gift department in Liberty London! 

Today I am faced with the task of deciding which of the little

creatures to take. 

Everyone cross their fingers and hope they like us!
