I just finished "Miz Cybil" for a friend.

She is made from a plush; has a real cat collar; and poseable ears and tail.

In order to get Miz Cybil "right" I made a prototype. I'm still working on that prototype even though this cat is done. I didn't like the way the face turned out. I like the way the new face is shaping up so far. I hope to post it in a few weeks.

I'm also working on a small monkey for an order. The pattern is designed; now it's time to select the fabric.

Fowlkner

I just made "Fowlkner" for a friend who just finished remodeling the house next door for a writer's retreat. He is made from Belgian plush and has needlefelted features.

Good Golly Miss Molly

This is my first golly (a friend of the teddy bear). I bought the dress at the Austin Teddy Bear Show last year.

A New Opportunity

During my move from New Mexico to Georgia I had a lot of things on my mind. So while my website was working I gave no thought to it expiring or changing my account information. Having said that, I am now without a site.

I'd been thinking of changing it for a long time and this has provided me with the opportunity. This will probably take a while so I'll keep my updates on my blog.

A Horse of Another Color

I have a commission to do a horse. At first it was supposed to be pink because the young lady it was being given to is young. Last night it was decided that it would be a blonde color. Not that I wouldn't have done a pink horse, I think one closer to a real horse would be better. I didn't want my creation to look like "My Little Pony".

The pattern is all designed now and I'll probably get started on it this afternoon. It's not due until Christmas so I do have time.

Long Time

I haven't posted in so long I've been thinking of dropping this blog. But when I think of giving up making bears my heart gets very sad.

Here is my newest bear made out of imported Belgian plush. The white stuff is made out of mohair. His name is Grrrover.

Inspired!

I just got back from the Austin show. I came back inspired with ideas for new critters. Not sure what they will be. I have a girl golly in mind (I bought a dress for her which should give me the nudge to get her done); plus I got a bunch of synthetics. Although I may just keep those out to stroke since they're so soft.

Today, however, I'm going to relax after my plane trip. As Ms. O'Hara says, "tomorrow is another day".
