Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

Hapoy Valentine's Day

Now this little critter has found a home, I am legal to show you!


His name is Wuv-U and he is just five and a half inches tall. Perfect way to say I love you!

Whew! These twenty four hour vigil's really take it out of me now. This ol' girl ain't what she used to be!!

Wishing you roses, Champagne and chocolates!

Beautiful Noses

I have been changing a few things on my bears lately and you can see the changes here . . . right on the tip of her nose!


Then Australian Bear Creations asked me to write a tutorial on how I embroider my noses for the magazine, which I did. The tutorial gives step by step details, including  photos of how to achieve a beautifully embroidered teddy bear nose just like the one shown here on Ginger Gorgeous.

I hope readers will find it useful.
Happy sewing!

Blast From the Past

I thought I would reserve the last Sunday each month to introduce creations I designed and made many, many years ago . . meet the first couple . . . Gilbert and Sulli.


Gilbert is very much a traditional style bear to which I added Ultrasuede eyelids and Sulli a bunny with oversized ears, to whom I gave a more realistic nose.

Hope they bring you a smile or two.
