You can find me on BEARPILE

Hi friends,

I thought I'd let you know that I've renewed my bearpile account and you can find me here. I've listed my new little bruin...Beatrice.


Thanks for looking.

The First of a Few

I've decided to downsize my bear collection and will be offering a few of them within the next few weeks.. The first up for adoption is Tobias. I adopted Tobias in March of 2005 from the delightful bear artist Barb Clevenger of Mortimer Bears by Tallulah. Tobias is 18 inches tall and quite the hefty substantial bear. Tobias is made from honey colored copper tipped mohair with creamy white tummy and inner ears. He has a German glass eyes with leather lids.


Tobias is fully jointed with hard discs, cotterpins and locknuts. He firmly stuffed with polyfil include a few BB's in his chubby tummy.


Tobias has rather large feet as you can see. His pad are made from ultrasuede with stitched toes. I like 'em. As photographed he can either sit or stand (with a wee bit of guidance). Tobias wears a beaded necklace with gold bell around his neck. It is not removable. Tobias will come with his signed & dated hangtag that includes all his personal information.

If you are interested in giving Tobias a home please email me. He is available for $80 plus $12 Priority Mail shipping. International buyers are of course welcome. I will give you a shipping quote upon request.

Hugs,
Shantell & Tobias

Lovely Blog Award...who me?

I just learned that I've received the One Lovely Blog Award from my friend, Melanie Clark. Considering I'm such a lazy blogger, I'm not sure I should be receiving any awards. Thank you Melly, you are such a sweetie.

So here's the skinning. I have to answer the following questions...pass them and the award onto 7 of my blog buddies who I feel deserve this award (I have more than 7...it's gonna be hard to choose). When I do decide, your assignment is to answer the same questions but change one question you don't particularly like or just want to change and replace it with one of your own making.

Have fun...

Here are MY answers...

What is your current obsession?

The Twilight Saga...I know, I'm sick! Creating quilts, teddy bears and Annies.

What is your horoscope and do you relate to it?

I am a Scorpio and very much a Scorpio. It's a burden to bear....HA HA HA!!!

What are you wearing today?

Jeans, tee-shirt & zip up hoodie

What was the last thing you bought?

Puppy toys for my son's new puppy, Koda. Before that it was stereo speakers for my younger son's graduation present. $$$$

What is your favorite Holiday?

Christmas...is there any other holiday?

A guilty pleasure?

I have too many to list

What is your must have item for Summer?

Flowers & plants...but I really need to buy a new computer. This old thing is gonna die on me before too long and at the worst time. I just know it.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and who would you take with you?

I'd love to go to the UK and I'd probably take one of my kids...or all three. :o)

What is your favourite piece of clothing from your closet?

I don't really have a favorite...it changes all the time. I like cotton, comfy things that are NOT tight.

What is your dream job?

Giving unselfishly to those in need.

What do you consider a Fashion faux pas?

White socks with black shoes....socks with sandals...clothes that don't fit correctly

Describe your personal style?

Classic casual comfy (is that a style?)

What are you going to do after this?

Today is free to do whatever strikes me at the moment...but I need to go dry my hair. :o)

What are your favourtie past-times and hobbies?

Gardening, sewing & spending time with my children.

What are you proud of?

Raising three wonderful kids and actually liking them.

Have you got pets at home?

Four bratty outdoor kitties. They all adopted me. Unappreciative little boogers.

I now need to tag 7 others....I have to get back to you this part. I may need to toss them in a hat and draw the names.

Thanks again Melly for thinking of me.

My latest quilt project....DONE!

I finished my latest quilt project yesterday while watching TV. It's so nice to just sit with a nice soft quilt draped over your lap and hand sew at your own speed. I find it very relaxing.

I had to stand on an end table and the arm of an overstuff chair on my tippy toes to get ALL of the quilt in my picture. I'm glad I didn't fall on my butt...now that would have looked funny.

Enjoy

WIP and a quick Howdy!!

I'm alive....just been a bit busy these days. I'm working on a custom order quilt for a friend. It's something I haven't done in a long while and am thoroughly enjoying my assignment. I'm considering doing more of it...anyone interested. :o)


Just wanted to pop in and say Hello and say...Oops! The lazy blogger is back!!!

For the Love of Quilts

I think everyone should have their own quilt...even a new baby. So after going through all my quilt books, choosing fabrics in just the right color scheme and obsessing as I always do, I finished this little crib size quilt for my dear friend, Aleta and her little grandbaby. I forgot to photograph the backside (silly me) but it's the middle shade of pink with cream polka dots...and oh so cuddly soft flannel.

Hugs,
