Summer Sizzler online show

Bright Star Promotions is having another online bear show on August 2 -3  ... a quickie show and another chance to look at and buy bears and bear friends.

Mellie is my preview bear and her colors really sizzle!  She is made in hand dyed blue greens and hot peachy pink mohair with a hot pink perle cotton nose!!

She reminds me of watermelon... sort of!!!

Here is the link so you can see ALL of the preview bears       Summer Sizzler Show     

I am working hard on bears and friends for the show ..... and my portion of the souvenir bears for the Kansas City  Bill Boyd Memorial Jubilee in September.


Forgot to mention that my granddaughter is now a teenager ... huge milestone!!!  Love you Lili!!

trip to the Maker's Fair

Bob and I went into Kansas City ... to Union Station actually... to take a look at this year's Maker's Fair. I think this is Kansas City's fifth show. Last year we went on a very hot Saturday and it was a mad house. This year the weather was so much nicer and since it was the last day/ Sunday , it was much less frenetic. Lots of new things... more non-profits : Kauffman Center, organic foods, lego giveaways ( boxes of donated legos are put into nice boxes with assembly instructions and given to children in the local CASA court system). The woodworkers guild made wooden toy parts for children to put together. Lots of companies demonstrating 3-d printers.  Booths of handcrafted items.  etc etc etc.... Interesting.... New this year too was a group of restored or souped up vintage cars on the drive outside of the station.

This was a nice change from bear making.... the "Summer Sizzler" show is August 2-3. I need some new things!!

We have plans for swimming with our daughter and the grandchildren on Wednesday. It certainly has been hot enough.  Hopefully  rain will "not fall"  from 4 to 6 pm!! LOL

Post Teddies Worldwide Show

This past weekend was the Teddies Worldwide online bear show starting Friday and ending yesterday. Today there is one poor little bear that didn't find a new home,

Here are all the boxes ...all labeled and waiting to be dropped off at the Post Office.

              Now it's time to get going on  Bright Star's "Summer sizzler" show August 2 - 3!!


Thanks everyone for taking a look at the TWW show!  And for buying!!

Teddies Worldwide. show coming up

My sister-in-law drove from South Carolina for a visit with us!! We had a good visit.... our kids and grandkids came over for several visits with her and we went on a road trip to Hamilton, MO. ...the home of the Missouri Star Quilt Company. It has only been in business for maybe 5 years but has grown by leaps and bounds. Most of Hamilton is now quilt stores or rented from the quilt company . The Small Business Association helped them finance the new 42,00 sq ft shipping building. The old library is full of quilting machines where they quilt for customers.  Hamilton is also the birthplace of JC Penney and I think the home of his first store.  So there must be something in the water!
Now that my sister in law has left and the weather has gotten cold and wet ,I am working on teddy bears and friends for the upcoming " Teddies on Vacation"  show. I haven't decided which will be my preview bear...lol !  When I do, I will post a picture  and the link.

show closes this afternoon ...oops evening

The "Spring Stars" show closes this evening - Monday May 11th - at 7pm Eastern.  Lots of bears have been adopted but there are lots left!
