I used the same design for my wall piece and my coffee table. I hope to complete the coffee table soon.

UK TEDDY AND CRAFT FAIR IN CATERHAM, SURREY. May 2011

I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF GOING TO THE SPRING CRAFT AND TEDDY BEAR FAIR IN CATERHAM, SURREY WHICH WAS HELD ON SATURDAY THE 9TH OF APRIL. I FLEW IN ESPECIALLY TO MEET ALL THE GREAT TEDDY ARTISTS. I WAS EXPECTING TO SEE MORE ARTISTS BUT THE ONES THAT I MET WERE PROFESSIONALS IN THEIR WORKMANSHIP. EMELIA POLLARD OF HIGGYS BEARS GAVE ME SOME TRICKS OF THE TRADE.

I MET SASHA KLESHEVA AND ANN GARDNER AND THEIR TEDDIES. I ENJOYED SEEING ALL THE DIFFERENT CHARACTERS, SHAPES AND SIZES OF TEDDIES.

I ALSO MET DIANA HUBER-PERKINS OF H & G CREATIONS DISPLAYING HER BEAUTIFUL GREETING CARDS CREATED FROM HER ORIGINAL WATERCOLOUR PAINTINGS. I HAD THE HONOUR OF MEETING JACKY FOWLER OF LAND OF PURPLE RAINDROPS. JACKY YOUR CARDS ARE INSPRING. TO ALL THE LADIES CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL CRAFTS.

ANN GARDNER AND HER 97% RECYCLED AND 100% BIZAAR TEDDIES.

THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER

 The month of November makes me feel that life is passing more quickly. In an effort to slow it down, I try to fill the hours more meaningfully.
