  • Thread sculpted feet and paws for the truffle bear. This took literal hours and thread pulling hurt my hands, but the end result is so satisfying. These still need colour shading before being attached to the body (& I’m terrified of doing it! What if I stuff them up?!).

  • Fur swatches organised on audio felt boards is the workflow & space saver tool I never knew I needed but now can’t live without! I am now a powerful designing, crafting machine!

  • Stuffed all the parts, ready for detailing. Also made the weight bag for the body, ready to be inserted when the limbs/head are installed.

  • Finished purse bags. Two of these are mine and the rest are gifts. Some have contrasting internal pockets and some have additional bead decoration hanging from the top.

  • More progress on the goose cross stitch. The geese are completed, so now I’m moving on to the snowy ground.

  • More work on the large truffle teddy. I’ve basted then machine stitched everything, clipped the curves, and inserted the joints.

  • 48 pieces of a faux mohair/real mohair truffle themed personal teddy bear. This all took about 5 solid hours to mark, cut, and prep.

  • Made up the cute purse kit I got from the craft fair recently. It’s super simple, but my golly the instructions are bad in some places (ie close the turn out hole before installing the magnet clip, just no!). But, I really enjoyed it so will make up some more bags a gifts.

  • Meet ‘Otto’, a 14” bear made using Furaddiction’s lyric pattern. His fur has guard hairs and he features brown glass eyes and suede paw pads shaded with derwent inktense blocks & pencils. He wears a quadruple bow with a natural seashell ornament. Not for sale. This bear already has a home.

  • I’ve been working on a dimension gold collection cross stitch. Any guesses what it’s of?
