NEW JOB!!!!!!

Well it has been a busy week. Started a new job in a great office. I missed all my fav blog events, but I will be able to see them all this week. Working on bears for the show Nov 18 www.teddiesworldwide.com

Christmas Joi

This is my bear for the preview page. I have been having a wonderful time making bears. I have about 8 more. They're all sitting here waiting to have their pictures uploaded. Some are still a little under dressed, but that will be taken care of this week.

Wishing you all a Happy Halloween,
be safe and don't eat to much candy. See you tomorrow.

mini hugs, Lori V (MidnightCreations)

Tea Party

Tonight we (Circle of Bears) had our annual Tea Party at Sue's house. Always an elegant evening. She served delicious pumpkin chi tea along with cinnamon scones, ham with pineapple finger sandwiches, a marvelous pumpkin cake and some other delicious treats. I sat at the Leonx table. Set with a beautiful crochet table cloth that she purchased for $2.00. What a deal!!!!!

The food was great, the company was great and I "sold" all my crackers to donate the money for the Breast Cancer 3 day walk. It was a lovely get-together.

I love her silver service. The Pumpkin Chi Tea was sooooo good.

Another lovely day. How blessed I am.

Halloween "Crakers"

Supplies for cracker project

I made 13 "crackers" filled with candy and a surprise (inspired by Sandi @ http://bellacreations.ning.com/ - the challenge was to make 1 of these). Tuesday is my Teddy bear club "Circle of Bears" meeting. We have met on the 3rd Tuesday of the month for the last 19 years. We have our annual Halloween tea at Sue's house, and it is always lovely. These crackers will be for a fundraiser for Breast Cancer. Each one has a letter inside along with candy, the letter corresponds to a gift that will have the matching letters of BREAST CANCER. 2 of our members Pat and Sue will be walking in the 3 day walk and this money will go to them.

Prize for the lucky winner.

Every "cracker" will have a treat, there are no tricks. One lucky winner will receive the 6" mohair teddy bear. Looking forward to seeing my bear friends. Have a good night

Friends....what a blessing!

Just back from The Woman of Faith Conference in Tampa, Fl. What an awsome experience. A fabulous weekend with wonderful girlfriends, lots of laughing, crying and "finding out who you monkeys are". Trying to just relax and enjoy Sunday. Going for a motorcycle ride to the beach for sunset with wonderful friends. How blessed to have friends!!!!

Gotta get my hair back in a ponytail and go. See ya later.

A Jolly Halloween

A Jolly Halloween ...... I have had this beautiful post card for years, with the thought of making a teddy bear dressed the same way

Jolly is 5 1/2' curly mohair (7 !/2" w/ hat) carring her own black cat and pumpkin

Fred is my constant companion. He has been every where with me.
Last week he underwent reconstructive work. He has a new nose and mouth. He's much happier.

Fred wanted to get in the picture with the white pumpkins I have been making. He's so happy with his new profile.
However, there is no hope for his lost fur. He will be getting a new sweater, but here in Florida it's still in the 80's so it's a little to warm, yet.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
