Okay, I know I should have had enough of winter animals... but here is just one more batch. You may remember my polar bear... she now has a family! Those bears!
I am sure there is a fairytale joke in here somewhere, but I for one am not going to make it! I would never get it just right. (Oh the shame!)
There is just something about three stuffies together...
I also like these long style pictures. I think I may print one and use it as a book mark.
As these bears are to be sold. I wanted to do something to link them to me somehow, so if you have been wondering what the blue pills on their bums are...
What do you think? Is it a bit over the top? I was nicked named wibit by some members of my family who could not say 'Brigitte' also the 'wibit, wibit' noise from the frog world in Mario 3 could possible have something to do with it. I may have played that level non stop for rather a few months.
I have also had a couple of emails asking where I buy my supplies.
I get my safety eyes from http://www.craftbits.co.uk/ but I am longing to try http://www.suncatchereyes.net/.
I tend to get my yarn on ebay - I find Paton's do lots of lovely fluffy yarns. I also find myself drawn to Angel Yarns http://www.angelyarns.com/ I know some people have had a few delays with them, but I have always had excellent service.
My challenge this month is to blog a little more often. I am aiming for every other day. so hopefully you will hear a little more from me.
These guys make the cutest family. I think adding your signature on each item is a grand idea. I feel hand crafted items need this personal touch. Plus it adds a history to the item. These little guys make you want to heat up some hot coco and have a snow ball fight. Great job!

These are SOOoo adorable. I just love them. Makes me want to reach through the computer and give 'em a big HUG!

These guys are so amazing. That little smile is just heartwarming.
I have also been wondering about how to identify something I have made as mine. I have seen beads and tags, but I've never thought to do a bit of polymer clay with my name on it. A very intriguing idea.

These bears are simply wonderful their little faces have so much life. Thank you for sharing your art - I am now trying to remember how to crochet. I could ask my mum but she lives in the same city as you and I am half a world away!

Oh do try suncatcher eyes-they are the best I have ever seen.

Just found your site. My dear - you are an artist of the first order. The meercats - awesome. How you are able to get such 'attitude', 'personality' and 'authenticity' in your creations is beyond me
The Pom (made) is amazing! The real one is too adorable for words. Just watched the Westminster Dog Show -- the Pom was a doll. Have always loved them and I'll get one some day. Right now I have a Chow (my 3rd) and she's our baby.
Keep up the amazing creations. I'll be checking on you! Hubby and I spent some time in Glasgow - we loved it.
