Better give this one a title hey! Let's just say: UPDATE!!!

Oh my goodness- another comment on how fast time flies! Just a quick update on how things are progressing: unfortunately I've had to postpone my website meeting with my designer about the Society site, but that will just leave me with some time to gather more information- it really is a data intensive site that needs a lot of attention. So hopefully we will be launching something in the next few months- slow and steady!!
The Art of Teddy Bears is now online and almost fully active- I still have a heap of products to be inserted but the thought of matching up over 100 photos for fabrics is giving me the chills....but at least I have over 1/2 of the tools listed!!!
Heavenly Stitches is now in full swing, this September is going to be great- we have waited far too long to get a Fair that represents quality, original craft to the people in this area- one thing is for sure it will be beautiful....
This craft and teddy business is managing to consume so much of my time and energy- but I love it!!! :O) today was like Christmas, when my "packaging options" arrived - I am so thoroughly loving the craft process.
My sore fingers have almost healed enough for me to start sewing again, so that means a heap of more samples will be born (if only my hands could keep up with my creative buzz, life would be sweet!)
I'm a bit choppy tonight, must be the fact that the kids got an early night and I am going to try and finish some work off- I won't speak too soon though :O)
Happy stitching folks!!!

What A Weekend!

Well I've just gotten back from the Jupiters, Gold Coast Teddy, Doll and Bead Fair where I launched my new supply boutique: The Art of Teddy Bears. The weekend went really well and I got to speak to so many teddy enthusiasts it was great. It nice not to be running around the whole time, but to be able to concentrate on teddy bears.....
Won't go on for too long now, still have to unpack and then get the new website www.theartofteddybears.com up to speed with all of the great new things we have. It'll be a busy day!
