A SELL OUT

What an amazing day we had at the the Hugglets Bear Fair last Sunday.  We took 43 Urchins, from 8 inch ones to 15 inch ones and sold out, packing up at the end of the day was so easy and so fast LOL!!

We had a lovely day catching up with old friends and meeting new ones too.   Fun was had amongst all the Urchin collectors, chatting and taking photographs of their new adoptions.  Some have already posted their pictures onto the "I Love Urchins" group on Facebook.

At the show we introduced our new range of Hedgehogs, Dogs and Golly Urchins which were very well received.

We had to do a bear for the Jubilee....This is Jubilee who is 15 inches.

Below is a handful of Urchins who made an appearance at the show.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend ahead.

LOVEABLE URCHINS

Well its nearly that time of year again, when love is in the air, so I have created a short slideshow of some of the Urchins that have recently found loving new homes.

The next slideshow will be a Hugglets preview, so keep checking back to get a little peep of some of the new creations we will be showing at the Hugglets Bear Festival on the 26th february, 2012 in Kensington, London.

NEW URCHIN ANIMALS FOR 2012

January is just about to say goodbye this year, and in the Jac-Q-Lyn Bear workshop we have been busy working away on a new range of Urchins.  Its been a lot of fun developing new characters to be added to the Urchin family.  We have created always wanted to include a Hedgehog and finally here is a few for you to have a little peep at.  Each Hedgehog will have the surname Hogins (Hog out of Hedgehog and ins out of Urchins ;-) )

ITS BEEN AWHILE

I just can't believe where the time has flown too since I last posted.  Its been a busy few weeks, I have been beavering away creating new bears for the Hugglets show in London on Sunday.  I have a new range of bears to show and I will be launching my new series of online stories  "URCHINS - Guardians of The Forest".

Hopefully before the show on Sunday I will put a preview onto my blog of some of the bears I will be taking to the show.

Here are three wacky bears I have made just recently, two are adopted but just to tease, one of them is one who will be having a trip to London.  Can you spot which one it might be heehee!

WOEIZME  (Woe is Me)

BUBBLE GUM

WILMOT

Better dash have lots to do and very little time to do it in...... as always LOL!

LOLLYPOP

Its only a week today until the Kensington teddy bear show, and I hope the weather improves for our journey as we have woken up to over 4 inches of snow... where did that come from ? I was getting used to seeing the green grass again.

I will be taking with me a couple of new Open Edition bears to be released at the show. This week I have released a little girl Open Edition bear called Lollypop who is 16 inches tall and has been made from the most wonderful, super soft, pink with white frosted tip fur. Fingers crossed I am hoping to take with me to the show a small range of my Toy-Box Treasures and I have pestered Darren to do a couple of his Furgotten Bears too, hopefully we will have them finished in time :-)

WACKY WEASLEY

I am busy designing and creating some new wacky bears to release at the Hugglets Bearfest, in London at the end of the month. This is the best part of bearmaking, the design process. Weasley is a twist on one of my wacky designs as I normally do this style of bear with a cashmere muzzle and embroidered nose, but thought I would do an inset mohair muzzle for a change and a large needle felted nose. His body shape and arm shape is a little different too, his body is very stretched and his arms are extra long and very bent. I have a few more very different designs in the pipe-line, plus a new 8 inch bear to release, so its all fun in the Jac-Q-Lyn Bear camp at the moment. I will keep you posted on my progress.

New TOY BOX TREASURE

Well the thaw has finally come! YIPEE!! It is the first time in a month I have seen some green grass.

I have been very busy these last couple of weeks, and this is a 16 inch Toy-Box Treasure I have managed to squeeze in called Gilbert, who is made from a lovely antique style German mohair.

It looks as if I better get a move on as Hugglets is only a month away, gosh it does not seem like 5 minutes ago I did the last one :-) I have been working on new designs so fingers crossed they will be ready to go to London.
