Girls Night In and Woodend Teddy Show

We have had a huge week this week just gone......
Our Girls Night In with Susan Leigh from Bearleigh Bears was a huge success!

 

 

It was a very late night for all, but we had so much fun! Most girls made it to midnight with a bit of help from the yummy food and chocolates.

The lovely Josey made this beautiful version of Monica Spicer's Kiki to help raise money for pink ribbon day. We sold almost $500 worth of raffle tickets on the night, well done ladies!

 

 

 

 

The girls did an amazing job on their little Totos, I love them all!

 

 

On Sunday we packed the xtrail to overflowing and headed off to the Woodend Teddy Show. We had a great day catching up with everyone and seeing all of the amazing creations on show.

Thank you to Josey for all of her help once again and for giving up her Sunday to spend the day with me. She is a ray of sunshine xxx

Woodend Teddy Bear Show this Sunday 27th October!

Hello from Tooradin

Where do I begin.... it has been a very long time since we have posted on our blog. Time seems to be very precious at the moment and squeezing in that half hour to blog has been difficult.

I promise that we will be posting much more this year.

This is "Hoppla" our latest pattern from Eileen Seifert. Josey has made her in the most gorgeous pink viscose and vintaged her with parisian essence and our wonderful new Faber-Castell pastel pencils. We are having a lot of fun playing with these new pencils. We started a class this week and will put photos up here once it is finished....just in time for easter!

Josey has designed a gorgeous new project called "Waffles & Chirp". This project came about after a visit from a rep selling the most gorgeous little tins. Josey was so inspired by these little tins that we ordered plenty and she designed her latest pattern. A sweet little bunny with the cutest little chick. The kit comes packaged in it's tin with all of the bit and pieces needed. (I have even made the little beaks for the chick!)

 

Anyway, I best get back to the girls who are happily working on their dolls with Susie McMahon. I will definitely get some photos of them finished and post them here.

 

Much love from Kim & Josey xx
