Christmas  is coming and we are getting the shop ready, we are running small projects for Christmas on Thursday afternoon from 12.30 to 2.30pm we have a range of new gift ware as well.  Included are some new Christmas Bears.

We look forward to seeing you all at the Treasured Creations Craft fair next weekend.

New Bears

So sorry its been a while, we have been so busy creating new things and entering contests.  Please meet Russell Scare Crow,  he was a challenge on the Guild of Master bear makers,  I had so much fun and I have discovered I just love making theme bears.  We will be at the Treasured Creation Craft show in November and then have one more event before Christmas..  At the shop we are trying to get more artist made gift ware in for Christmas too.

Here our newest little Bear Mason hope you like him,  we are currently working on a website for the bears to go and live as people are finding it hard to see them on the Cottonwool site.  Hopefully it will be launched next week www.cooperbears.com  thank you so much for your support.

Hi all our latest little creation is an angel called Angelica, hope you like her,  next weekend I am off to do a workshop with Linda Benson, so excited to learn new techniques from a master.

So many events going on at this end of the year, there is another on line show and in November we will attend the Treasured creations craft fair at Claremont, that has 3 in one show including some amazing vintage clothing and treasure.  December 1st there is another fair at the Church in Byford we will attend, more on that later.  So we are busy busy busy sewing bears for all the events.  Here is our latest little creation Toffee.

We are also floating an idea about having a sewing day one sunday that we will announce more on soon.

Well things at the shop have been busy so it has been hard to get to the bears lately.  I have managed a couple though  Noah and Lacey Leigh.  We are starting work on our Christmas Bears now so keep your eyes peeled if your a fan of the festive season and we have decided to go to the Treasured Creations Craft Fair in November.  We went for a visit and really enjoyed the vintage section.

So very excited, we won the Taiwan Olympic Bear Challenge.

and the Western Australia Fur Challenge.
