Since Our Return

While I would love to be back on a pristine Bahamian beach in sunny 80°F (27°C) weather with a slight breeze listening to Sebastian talk about finding pirates, I have more immediate commitments on my to do list.

I will soon be attending two teddy bear shows and am trying to be diligent about working towards that end. If all goes well, I will be posting photos of works in progress though they may not be of completed pieces for some time yet. As usual, lots of ideas.

I will show you what has been going on around here since our return.

This is one of three or four boxes sitting about at the current time.  I have a plan for it and am hoping that I will endeavor to do right by the idea.  I am considering adopting the mantra:  “I will not panic.”

Below is another project.  Thankfully I am not responsible for this one.

I just watch between snowstorms and rain storms as this stack of lumber turns into something nice, I hope.  Jay says it’s going to be a giant dog house for Topher.  What a kidder! 

These cups look like they hold something refreshing but alas, they are paintbrush cups.

We have managed to take a coffee break now and again.  I wouldn’t mind having another one of these right now.

Project under way.  I try not to think too hard about what might be required to take it to the finish line. 

I took this photo while I was working today – although technically speaking, this could easily be any day in the studio.

  1. Well it's obviously a very hard life being a bear maker's chief canine assistant!

    1. Hi Jack, Boo & The Clan,

      I'm just not seeing it. ;D Oh, yes. There it is. The bit about trying to catch a nap on such an uneven and sometimes lumpy surface. It's a dog's life....

  2. Sebastian, I need your opinion! Do you think your mum has treasure on the brain, and is making a treasure chest. Keep watching for me will you?

    1. Hi Wilbur ol' buddy o' mine!

      I will keep watching but I'm not very good at guessing. Sometimes I think she is doing one thing and it turns out to be something totally different. She's one odd bird for sure. If it was up to me, I would make a treasure chest and then I would hide it and invite all my friends to come over and look for it. Then when we found it, we would have a picnic and divvy up the goods!

      hugs,
      Sebastian

  3. Topher is following your mantra and certainly is not panicking!

    1. Hi Jeanie,

      Yes, I agree. There's not a trace of panic anywhere on him is there?

  4. Doghouse for Topher, well, excuse me. He has a "dog" house. Bet it's a new porch. (o:

    1. Hi Prudence,

      You are a very astute little bear. How did you get so wise - or is it a wise guy? Only teasing of course!

  5. Hiho, all good things come to an end, but in your case there seems to be at least one good thing that's a long way from being at an end. I'm sure what Jay is building will be a very grand dog house - maybe for him? The other projects certainly look fascinating as ever.

    1. Hi Alan,

      You are so funny. If Jay were doing the actual work, I don't think he'd let me get away with teasing him about being in the 'dog house'. No, he'd want me to fully appreciate all his labor. As it is, we just get to watch and wait as it evolves. Nearly done now - well, getting closer. A little paint and a few other things.

      I appreciate that you see these projects as fascinating. I hope they'll be as fascinating once they are complete.

      Thanks for visiting! You're a great guest.

      hugs,
