NEW BEARS COMMING SOON :)

hi all!! hope every one is ok....
i wanted to "blog" and let you know about my 10 bear challenge....
i have to take 2 weeks holiday from work and have decided to put this time into bear making, so i have set myself a target of 10 bears.
i am soooo excited to do this and can't wait to get started...
i plan to make 2 bigger bears, 2 bun buns, 4 little bears and 2 pandas!!!
yep PANDAS!!! as promised

so i will keep you updated on my progress as i go and i can't wait to see them all finished.


i have also been working on 2 new one of a kind toys that i plan to put on ebay on Friday...

well speak soon x Matthew..

p.s. the photo is of *PIP* and *BOW*...pip is my bun bun (he is still unfinished) but i wanted to shoe you anyway :)

smiles from *BOW*



I was sitting on my bed the other night just checking my e-mails when i noticed something moving out the corner of my eye!! when i looked their was nothing there?? just my usual shelf of bears.... nothing strange... except when i look closer *BOW* who has been sitting there among some other crazy bears had moved and instead of looking straight ahead he was now looking towards me. I immediately ask my family if anyone had moved him, the all looked at me as i was crazy and told me they hadn't touched it... sooo?? how did he move?? i guess i will never know for sure but i am a strong believer that bears have a life off their own, one that we will never be able to properly see but we get glimpses of if we are really lucky :)


i would love to know if any thing like this has happened to anyone else?

let me know

good night x's *MATTHEW*

New bears on eBay






New Bear on eBay!!
i have finally decided to share the smiles of **Tommy** the sailor bear, he has been sitting watching over me for a few weeks now and helping me out at my work desk where he can! :) but i have decided to let him go and let him be inspiration to someone else...

he helped me created my other bear for sale on eBay **Jo-JO** the clown bear who i just love!! i love the way he came out looking so old and frumpy.. and i just love the colours in his hat... very 1950's!!
i have always loved clown bears and hope to do a whole circus one day soon!!
but i have sooo many ideas swimming around my head at the moment and i am just trying to find time to try them all out..

well i hope you enjoy the photos of **Jo-Jo** and cant wait to get my head onto fabric and show you all my new ideas :)



hope every one is enjoying the sunshine x's Matthew...

**Tommy the sailor**

say hello to **TOMMY** my newest bear:)
he looks soo cute sitting in my book shelve watching over me as i work.
i cant decide if i am going to sell him just yet or if he is going to keep me company at my work desk???
but i wanted to share him with every one and i hope he will make you smile as much as he makes me :)
my next big project is to make some pandas! and i cant wait to start, but first i have to find the perfect mohair. I have been looking on the web but it so hard to do it that way because unless you know what you are ordering it can be a bit hit or miss.... so i think i will have to wait until i get the chance to go and see the mohair at a bear fair :(
well i hope every one is enjoying the bits of sun we keep getting
and i will speak soon :)

MYBIRTHDAY : )





Thank you to every one who wished me a Happy Birthday!!!


I had such a perfect day and went into London city to celebrate.... and that i did!!!


all my brothers and sisters, and their partners came with me making it the best birthday ever....


We started of eating at my favorite noodle bar "Ned's Noodles" !yummm! and even my sister who doesn't even like noodles enjoyed her food... and with big round tum's we headed out towards Piccadilly circus stopping every 5 seconds to take a picture (or 5)...


once we got to Piccadilly circus we went to a lovely Irish pub where they play live music and danced and laughed for hours....


all of us now though are still suffering from cheek ache but i think it was worth it.... : )


so i leave you with some pictures of the best night ever,...
