Hi My name is Hoshi and I've been making bears,
OOH for about a week now.

I can pick mohair, that's great fun I also play hide and seek in it,

love too sort flowers, the vintage ones taste really goood.

and I can even pic copic colours.

I really have too keep an eye on the help though.

Quality control is the biggest part of my job.

Miss Edwina Workshop

Here we are 2/3's of the way through October, where do the days go, I wish knew. Mine are a muddle of mohair, ultra suede, velvet flowers and lace. Nice place to be till you look up and see a kitchen full of dishes and dust bunnies that may just carry you off.

I try not to look away from my teddy bear table to often the site is just to frightening. The mohair has such a soothing affect. Much nicer to look at.

At the moment I'm very much in love with Helmbold's 5/8 sparse signature finish in Sand. It's what I used to make Miss Edwina in. All the colours are fab but Old Ivory is spectacular too.

Better go still have to pack the kits for the work shop. I could only get enough lace and antique flowers for ten, ahhhh but what a beautiful ten they'll be. :0]

someone new

I know, I should be working on samples and patterns and workshops and orders-




BUT I just had the urge to try someone new. A bit out of my comfort zone, I never really work with dark backing and i still think he needs a tweak here and there but with Ellie and Sandi giving me loads of inspiration I think he's well on the way.

Now all he needs is a name.

New Patterns

I have also been working on some new patterns.

Benny the Jester.

Trinket

I flew all by myself.

I've just come home from a wonderful trip to Melbourne :o)

I went down to teach 3 x 1 day work shops and had an absolute ball. All the lovely girls there always make me feel so much at home. I have found several long lost sister and I'm sure some of us where even separated at birth.
I know its been a while since we're talked but it has been so hectic here. I have quite a lot of orders that I'm slowly getting through, Then I jetted of to Melbourne, while I was down there I finished The little galls pictured below for "Bear Tails". Their names are "April, May and Baby June".

I'm now working on "Trinket" the baby Elephant for "Bear Creations". I have a show on the 20th of September and still have no bears made for that :o( Then I fly out to Melbourne early November for a "Flakey the Kitten", "Buster the Puppy" and "Edwina" dressed in Sense and Sensibility \ Georgena Style work shops. Fly home Tuesday night and have a show at Mittagong on Sunday the 15Th, and still no bears made :o((

I think I may be a little bit busy!

All this for a person that was afraid to fly by herself. I'm now the jet setting Queen. Even sewing on the plane. So if you don't hear from me for a while you will know where I am. I'll keep popping picture up so you can see what I've been working on.
