Tickled Pink Bears

New Fabric, New Bear. . . 

new computer?

I was able to order some wonderful new fabric from Intercal,

a couple medium density alpacas and one dense mohair.

This fabric is so wonderful.  I've also ordered some felted woven

wool.  I like to use this fabric on the foot pads of my bears. I like

how it accepts the shading that I use.  Very nice. And then I love 

the Sassy poly plush doeskin fabric.  This is actually one of the 

very first fabrics I ever worked with to make a bear.  And it still

give a wonderful scruffy result, which I love!!!!

The fabrics on the bottom of the pic are the alpaca and mohair.

Upper to the right are the felted woven wool and to the left of that

is the Sassy doeskin.  :D Very excited to get working with all this lovely

fabric.  But first I am finishing up a couple of commissioned bears for a 

friend. (I'll post pictures of the bears when I finished with them) 

She wants the two bears as a gift for her son and his wife.

They are such a great couple, some of my favorite people!!

Now, the computer thing is 

a whole other animal.  My son build his "dream" computer.  Well,

that is good for me because I was handed the laptop he had been using.

A very nice one too, and it was only a little over a year old.  Much better

that what I was using.  Well within 48 hours of my getting started with my

new computer it was fried by my plugging in an appliance across the room.

There was a pop and then it went black.  Oh, boy!!!! I really can't believe

how things go for me. I've been handed a lot of lemons in life over the last year

and I've been making a lot of lemonade.

Guess I'll just keep squeezing till I run my supply of lemons out!!! :)

It's really all I can do.

So here I am back on my old laptop,

guess I'll name him "Old Faithful"

Have a great weekend friends!!!
