What a wonderful surprise I received last night,
and I just wanted to share him with you all.
Ray presented my with a little blue box with Swarovski ribbon,
so it was not hard to guess what was hidden within the wrapper
but what a delight to see this sweet little bear
with his big belly and sweet button nose
looking up at me and offering me all the stars in the sky,
just as my sweet husband would if he could.
I guess there are no limits with bears. reality does not apply.
This little bear will always hold a very special place in my heart.
I really am blessed.

Let it Snow????

Its getting hot here in Australia, Im not use to the heat yet as winter seems to never end. But here it is the hot sunny days and eating outside. No white Christmas for us. Ray has just about finished our deck and the pool table has arrived. I thought I would trick myself into being cool by adding some snow to my blog, very cute. My Chistmas bears for the Christmas tea are coming along.

Christmas Carol and Orphan Anne


After the long trip around the world from Little dirt lane, my two sweet girls have arrived. They are very precious and made by a wonderful artist Jess. I cant waitt o see my next girl who is on her way Candy kisses...

My new work room




Ray (my wonderful husband) has been busy building on to the back of our house. The decking is going down this week and I am very excited about having all this room to store my ever growing collection of materials. ( I might have to share it with a pool table and a bar... but I accept. I plan to make all my step by step guides out here as the photos will not have the shadows like working in the sunlight. I am really looking forward to working on this club and happy to take thoughts from my new members, it is interesting to hear what people really want to see, as its not always what I would have thought. So keep on sending those ideas.
