Lallie, a cute little teddy bear girl

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.
