FINAL COUNT DOWN

Just a little bit of news, if you do not already know, but I have entered the URSA's competition again this year with 3 of my bears.  PRESTBURY a large 23 inch bear, CUPCAKE who is my new design of 16 inch Urchin who wear shoes, and my new design for 2011 TEACAKES, Tea-Cup, Tea-Bag and Tea-Leaf.

As this is a competition judged by collectors and readers of the Bears and Buds Magazine, it would be really appreciated if you could spare a moment to vote for my bears if you like them, the first round of voting closes on the 31st JULY.

You can find a link for each bear entered on the homepage of my website www.jacqlynbears.com if you click on the bears name you will be taken to the category the bears are entered in and follow the arrow to the voting page.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support which allows me to continue with my bear making passion.

Hugs and Best Wishes

FIRST ATTEMPT

I have completed my first attempt at a needle felted face on one of my Grogs.  I usually do needle felted detailing on eyes and my larger Grogs have exceptionally large bulbous needle felted noses, but I decided to take the bull by the horns and try a face.  My goodness I am now addicted and can't wait to finish my next attempt and my brain is bursting with ideas to do one on one of my wacky Kats.

I have stocked up with lots of felting needles and a packet of plasters LOL!!!  I am very fortunate to have a good supply of local wool which I am dyeing myself so its all systems go!!   I will keep you posted with pictures of my attempts.

Here is my first attempt Peanut Grog with a cheeky face and an open mouth.  I did think I should have needle felted his nose, but I really wanted not to be predictable and thought to do one of my embroidered ones.

PEANUT

I hope you like Peanut!

NEW IN THE BAKERY!!

Its been a funny old day today, I have been searching high and low for my little muzzle trimmer, I have turned everything up side down and still can't find it.  I am beginning to think I could have stuffed it into a bear LOL!!  The trouble is, once you mis-lay something you can't seem to stop thinking about where you might have put it.....yes I have even checked the fridge, those of you who know me, would not be surprised at me looking there LOL!!  Fingers crossed it will turn up some day soon.

This week has been a busy week, I had lots of fun making three new Tea-Cakes for my Bakery web page and some new Dolly Doo's, (yes I did have the trimmer then LOL ).

Wishing you a great weekend and to all my American friends wishing you a super 4th July.
