The end of July and a beautiful Monday morning!

Wow~!  What a beautiful morning.  God blesses us every day with his beauty.  Man is the one who messes it up!  I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.  I was busy watching the butterflys in my garden and they were busy too.  Wish I could have my sewing machine in my garden.  That would be a wonderful inspiring place to sew every day.  Even in the winter snow it would be beautiful!  The flowers are at their best right now and wonderful to look at!  Hope you enjoy them too.  I have two elephants finished and they are waiting for me to make them dresses today.  Off to the cutting board to cut out a zebra and giraffe this morning for orders.  Yesterday I painted three doors.  Today if I get a chance I will be painting the front of the barn.  It is always fun to paint and it gives me time to think when I am painting.  One day soon I have to finish the large painting I have been working on.  We have a new stray cat.  He has a beautiful face and tiny meow.  He has a tail that looks like a flag so I call him Flagtail.  He walks so very slowly and you have to keep an eye on him to make sure he is really moving but runs if he is frightened.  We have to laugh at him and always say out loud, "Slowly I walk...step by step!" I hope to fatten him up.  Off to feed the stray cats and have my morning laugh!

Good Friday Morning!

Friday after a day of storms yesterday!  We had no electricity for over 12 hours and it sure makes me thankful for electricity today!  Happy Friday!  Enjoy the weekend!

Another beautiful Saturday! Hot and humid but it is so nice. Summer is slipping by. I took the elephant Beulah to The Boston Road this morning and by the time I returned home Brenda called to say she was sold. Great! I am working on a bear and hope to have it finished soon so I can take it to The Boston Road Collection next week. She did say she has it sold too as soon as I bring it to her and wants two more critters... yesterday. I did tell Bailey that he might have to learn to sew. His little Yorkshire paws should be able to hold a needle. He can be my elf sewing in the middle of the night while his grammy sleeps instead of getting me up every couple of hours to go outside because of course he slept all day while grammy sewed. NEW RULE! If grammy doesn't sleep...Bailey doesn't sleep...

The first day of the Friends Of Teddy On Line Show starts today at 4:00 pm!  www.teddiesworldwide.com  I cannot wait to see all the creations everyone came up with for the show.  I hope everyone is enjoying the summer and will have a nice weekend.  I have been busy sewing, cleaning, taking my mother shopping and to appointments and looking at condos.  Getting rid of things we don't need when I get a chance is at the top of my list.  I definitely need more time for that chore!  I finished Gavin and Zeon and they are on their way to Virginia.  Zeno will be on the way to California and his new mom Lucy.  Today I am finishing Beulah the elephant and she will be at The Boston Road Collection tomorrow.  The next bear is waiting to take her form from my hand stitching.  I hope to machine stitch her some time today.  I am NOT bored and that is a good thing.  I wouldn't be good at being bored.  I think I do CRAZY better!

Wonderful Daisies Growing In The Yard!

Good Monday Morning!  I hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed summer.  It has been HOT here in Ohio.  I love it and try to take it all in to think about during those cold winter days that will come in a few months.  It is great to remember the warmth from the sun when the snow is blowing.  I have been busy as everyone is these days.  I have 5 orders and creations all in various stages to be completed.  I hope to complete a few today!  The Friends of Teddy Bears show is this coming weekend and I am anxious for that!  My 5 are ready for the show.  If you haven't voted for your favorite of the preview this is the link: www.teddiesworldwide.com  Please vote.  Thank you.  Funny thing with all the heat and lack of rain three spots of daisies sprung up in the back yard.  I water my flower gardens and vegetable garden every day and some are not looking good.  I have had to dump several pots of flowers that I carefully fed and watered.  The sun is just too powerful for them and they dwindle in the heat.  Amazing to me to see wonderful daisies growing and beautiful in the middle of the burned out grass.  Sent from heaven to remind us that anything is possible!  I really need that right now and as I look at these little beauties every day God reminds me that no task is too big and he takes care of us every day.  He answers our prayers in His time and we must have patience.  He is always with us and guides us if we allow Him.  Have a great week!
