I have finally taken a few photos of my new workshop sample and I have also given her a name – Monique.
Monique is 16" or 42 cm tall and made from soft pale pink mohair.
Without shading!
Completed!
And Happy Mother's day!

I have had a few weeks break since the Sydney Teddy Bear Fair and have tidied my sewing room. Now I am ready to start making again but it is such a nice autumn day outside I really don't want to sit inside.
Last night I started to design a new workshop bear for my upcoming workshops at Winter Wonderland in June and at Warwick Patchwork in July.
More photos to follow.
Please also have a look at my current eBay auction – Jonathon. He is gorgeous big boy bear.
Enjoy your weekend. Here in Queensland we are having another long weekend for Labour Day.

I just wanted to let you know about a great new website.
Please take a look.
Cheers Lisa
I have listed 2 bears on eBay and added 4 to my Weblog PayPal Store. I have also included a Photo Album with additional photos of the bears.
Please take a peek.

I had a great time at the show. Melissa did an excellent job in organising the event.
I sold a few bears but still have a few left. I actually managed to complete over 15 bears for the show.
I have uploaded a photo album with more photos.

About 10 days ago we packed the car and headed down the Pacific Highway towards Sydney.
On the first night we stayed in Nambucca Heads. It is a beautiful seaside town about 5 hours drive south of Brisbane.
For the next few days we stayed on a houseboat on the Hawkesbury River. The Hawkesbury River is about 50 klms north of Sydney.
We had booked with Ripples House boats and stayed for 4 nights. It was so peaceful. We just cruised around, threw in a line or two and I did some sewing.
We then headed to the mountains - The Blue Mountains. The children wanted to go to the Jenolan Caves. We stayed in most delightful house in Leura named Leura Camillas. We did enjoy the cold weather for 2 nights and actually saw real autumn leaves. That is something we never see in Queensland.
We went to see the 3 Sisters and the falls before heading back down the mountains to Sydney for the Sydney Teddy bear Fair at Homebush Bay.
We did have a one stop on the way to Homebush Bay at Rick Rutherford's Country shop. It was an absolute haven. I just wish that I had more room in my car. www.rickrutherford.com

I am starting to get a little worried. It is one week until we head off on our road trip to Sydney for the Sydney Teddy Bear Fair.
On Saturday morning, I had two fully completed bears and four needing noses and to be dressed. I also have five I am not happy with and about ten more that I want to make! I have so many ideas but not enough time to do it in.
My work room on Saturday AM
AND tonight Sunday I have now six completed and five I am not happy with and about six more I started.
We have also had a huge weekend. Yesterday was spent driving the children around and making bears. This morning I hosted an Enjo demonstration and this afternoon hosted the families from my son's footy team for a pool party and drinks on the deck. One consolation about today my garden and house are tidy!
My work room on Sunday PM.
I know that it doesn't look light much work has been completed but I also run out stuffing!!!!! I have ordered some more and it should be here on Tuesday.

Ps Please vote for my entries in the Sydney Teddy Bear Fair competition. http://fs10.formsite.com/cjsmum/form125013541/index.html Voting closes next weekend and thank you!!!!!
Finally a photo of what I was working on last weekend. The panda is still in the design phase. On Monday when I was tidying up, I was distracted by some red mohair and now I have started a few little red teds.
They look funny without their noses and ears!!
I do need to dress the 2 little ones on the right and the one below will be listed on ebay tonight.
I am starting to find it difficult to name my bears but anyway I called this one Samuel but then realised that I had already called one Samuel. So I renamed him MONTY.
A Happy and safe Easter to you all.
Cheers Lisa
I have spent most of the day trying to finish a few bears and thinking about a new panda to make. I managed to finish one little one – Annabella. She is now listed on eBay.
