bears bears bears

I've been a busy little blogger today havent I?
I think I'm finally over my "bear block"! I have a business called "Always RememBEAR". I make memory bears out of peoples clothing. Usually after someone passes away, but sometimes out of something that some one wants to save as a bear.. like baby clothes or something..
Anyways, I have so many orders and I just have not felt like making them, plus this last order was out of tanned deer hide, which is very difficult to do the hand sewing on, and I've had a bit of an attitude about them. In anycase, I finally got busy on them again today!
There are 6 bears in this order, three of the deer hide and then three of a sweat shirt. then I have an order for 11 bears; out of a mink coat, a persian wool coat, and a synthetic fur coat.. after that order, I have several smaller orders.. all together there are 27 bears to made now. And a miniature horse...
I need to get these done as quicky as possible.. in fact I should be working on them now.. not sitting here! after I finish the bear orders, I have elfs to make!!!!!

SPeak to me people!

OH my goodness! I totally impress myself sometimes! I figured out how to hook music up to my blog site!! I am amazing, I am! (pats self on back!)
no really, I am quite impressed.. I'm not very computer literate!
OK.. I also have something to say! According to my "neocounter" at the bottom of my page, it says I'm getting all these visitors from all over the place.... OK People if you stop by to visit, say hello.. lets be friends.. I want to know your here!
ok.. thats all.. listen to that sweet music!
oh yeah, one more thing.. can anyone tell me how to list peoples blogs on the side ( i have them listed under places of whimsy) ? I dont know how to do it with out all the http garbage attached.. thanks!

Its raining out.. seems a bit fallish! ha. I know thats what its supposed to be. I'm thinking of throwing on some jeans and a shirt that doesnt have to be ironed.. (everything I own needs to be ironed!) brushing my teeth and running to Joann fabrics. thats not really a quick run as its about an hour away. I should have gone yesterday when I was not far from one, but I didnt think of it then! I am wanting to make an apron. so I need some fabric and trim!

I also am wanting to cook a turkey breast, which I do not have, so I trip to the grocery store is also on my list!

What else is in my plans for today? I need to bring all my house plants in from the porch and a fern from outside. Its getting a bit cool at night. They probably would be ok a little longer out there, but I think its time. This is a huge ordeal as I have my house full of halloweenies right now. I think I can put most of the plants in my room on the cedar chest for now. It also causes my porch to then look bare! OH well .. this change of seasons, though I love it also distresses me!

Yesterday, the girls and I went to a doll show and then out bopping around. Jen won a little madame alexander doll and the girls bought me one. there was really nothing at the show that I wanted! Hard to believe!! While we were out, bethany bought the new electronic game of LIFE. So we came back here to play it. much fun! though, check out the pictures.. the silly cats tried very hard to play also!

I'm off for now.. Enjoy your day!

Yesterday was my birthday and I had a great day. I have to say my family is the best! I came home from work and my husband was out cooking steaks on the grill. Jen, Beth, Robert and his sweet girlfriend Lora were all out in the kitchen and I was forbidden to go there! so of course I had some computer time! they were fixing dinner and finishing up some gifts they were making!
The kids had had a very busy day preparing for my birthday. they had cleaned the house! My son had done all the laundry!!! They had gone to one of my favorite stores "Bittersweet" in Brockport, and bought a few preciously awesome things and took a picture of something they knew I would love that they knew they could make! Then they came home and made it.. all together! I thnk they had fun doing it! and they made me a card. they are all very creative and I was totally impressed! My daughter Jennifer is a great artist and she made me a crown! she knew I had been wanting one so she just whipped one up!!! You'll see the pictures below!
So the dinner menu was... grilled steak, a variety of sauteed mushrooms, asparagus, and cheesy potato casserole.. OH and jumbo shrimp cocktail! And of course it was all followed by the wonderful cake that Bethany made for me and breyers cookies and cream ice cream!
I had the best birthday! I have the best family! I am truely blessed!

I usually make myself a birthday present every year. Usually its a tiny teddy bear or a doll or some sort of halloweenie.., but this year its a birthday hat. I took several pictures of it and cant seem to get a good picture.. the paper its made out of is gorgeous.. I've been saving it for just the right thing.. well this is hte outcome. I have a bear that will be the lucky hat wearer! I thought of Oldflowersforme on flickr when I put the hat on the bear and had a conversation with him! so silly.. arent we ? (yeah my family thinks its not silly , its nuts.. oh well!
anyways.. thats all for today!
