And....a new Teddy Bear Girl, Odelia

I spent 6 weeks to complete Odelia.
I had a design in my mind and until I did not reach what I wanted, I redesign body and the other teddy bear parts.
A long long process, but now, I think that she is beautiful.
Here a few pictures of her



    

Now, my little kittens are 8 weeks old

Bigoune, the last kitten of the litter and who needed my help when she was born.
She hates photos... but this time, I caught her...


The second one, Baloue.... she is like her father, a Siamese.. with the colors of her mom


Sheba and Figaro, the white one and the only boy of the litter, but so sweet....



Here, again Figaro and Sheba. And in the background, her Mom, Cannelle.






Thomas, new little one in the family

On May 31rst 2012 at 1.31 am, Thomas arrived making me grandma for the fifth time.
We visit him last Sunday and here are the pictures of the little boy.
He is very quiet and calm... and looking like a big brother, Darren, when he was a newborn.
My daughter looked a little tired and pale, but happy with Thomas.

New members in our family

Yesterday, Easter... for normal people, it's Rabbit, Eggs, chocolate, etc..
For us, not the same pattern ; the cat we found a few months ago, Cannelle had 4 little babies.  After 2 hours, she looked like she was having some problems with the last one, the little fourth was born but with difficulties.
I helped her a little and finally the last one was alive and healthy.

Just after supper, Candy, the bird, was on Alain's shoulder and something in her behavior looked not normal ; she was very nervous, and suddenly she laid an egg on his shoulder.

And it's not done, because of the busy day, we decided to eat something quick in case Cannelle needed more help.... the microwave broke down... change of plans... guess supper had to be a bit slower than expected.

Yes I'm talking about Easter Day...only.....

I will add few pictures of the little ones.  They are very cute...
And Cannelle is a real good mother for them.

Ebooklet pulled from the market

I have to pull the Ebooklet from the market because of people misunderstanding the idea of the booklet ; they wanted a pattern included in it; however, because the technique is available for all types of teddy bears in thread,yarn, knitted or crochet, I did not add a specific pattern which was well explained in the item description. People could used it on other patterns from other artists but it looks like the new idea was not understood by some....
I plan to add the personal technique in the book I'm writing now that will most likely be published next year where it will include patterns and "how to".
I'm feeling sorry for that, but I had to take this decision to avoid further problems which are taking time from my beloved teddy bears and eating up the much needed time for the book. If you are still interested to buy the "how to" ... of course NOT including the pattern please feel free to contact me.
