Here are a few of mine:

If you would like to go  to the show... here is the link

 

Things going well..

My son is doing well..hooray!
I have been working while keeping an eye on things. We found a booklet of my mother-in-law's recipes on one of my son's bookshelves. We all remebered her date nut cookies so I made us all a batch!  Memories... they weren't as good as hers but pretty close.
I finished one of my really small bears and managed to keep everything but the fiberfill from Tigger ( the orange striped cat). ....but he didn't swallow any!! Now working on a bigger one. My husband and son are on the Xbox playing the new game!!

busy busy busy...

It seems like everything is just around the corner and time is running out!  We spent this morning waiting for our son to be sent home from out patient surgery on his knee. The whole morning was hurry up and wait...we waiting for  them to prep him... then waited with him for the surgeon... back to the waiting room for us... then off to consult with the surgeon after the surgery... back to the waiting room while our son "recovered"... then waited with him for post-op instructions... back to the waiting room till he could be released.. then off to the car to wait at the hospital's door till they could wheelchair him to the door and help him into the car!!!Oh well... thngs look good and he's home!

Plus Christmas and the three online shows are just around the corner....I have almost finished enough new bears for all the three shows and have a dent in my list of home made presents for my family and friends!!
Hooray...

I decided to pull my Mother-in-law's sewing machine out.... it is a black Singer 301A. I had given it a tune up before I put it away ( there is a wonderful local man who knows these old machines inside and out!) . My M-I-L insisted that I needed to learn to sew ( back in 1965) or at least sew better than what my home-ec class had taught me in junior  high. Learn I did and on this machine which still sews like a dream ! This machine is helping me turn out Christmas presents!!

Turning Blue

Yesterday a half-million Kansas City area people celebrated the Royal's World Series win!! The area from where the parade started  ( Power and Light district) to where it ended ( Union Station) was a sea of blue wearing people.... traffic was gridlocked for hours... people were yealling ( good stuff).... signs were waving!!
Being somewhat chicken-like I watched it on TV....
So many of the Royal's games this year were so amazing.... the team played its heart out.... the fans were so involved!!
We've been fans since we moved to this area in 1983.... "let's go Royals"!!!

Next online show

I have been working on my bears and friends for the next Bright Star Promotions online show which is coming up the weekend of  November 13th!!!  I will add a link closer to the show!!
My  DH and I have struggled our way through the weebly website editor!  And received an A+ for our sales page.... never thought we'd make it!!

Frosty is the show's lead bear.....

We were going to the Des Moines Doll and Bear Show this same weekend ... but my son is having surgery just before and we will be helping him..... We didn't feel comfortable being 4 hours away for the whole day!!

Teddies Worldwide will be hosting its "Christmas Treasures" online show the weekend after... November 20 -22.  I have been working on things for this show too!!

MacKenzie Mouse came home from the Kansas City Teddy Bear Jubilee with this table direction.... and immediately zipped off to a new home in the UK!
His new family sent me a poem to celebrate his arrival in the UK....

MacKenzie Mouse.
It's again now Halloween
In the darkest nights
Pumpkins with scary faces can be seen
Glowing in the bright moonlight
Squeaks made in the darkness
Echo through the night
But the orange shadow you can see
It's not a pumpkin,but a mouse
That goes by the name of MacKenzie.

thank you

Many thanks to those of you who took a look at my bears and friends on the "Fall Stars" show!!! One mouse is on her way to the UK and the others are headed east and west here in the US!

Peachy and Thad are still looking for new homes. I am posting them on BearPile in the next few days....
