Thank-you, Katy! Your kind words are much appreciated. 
Such a darling!
Wowzer!!!! 
This dapper little fellow is dressed in his tuxedo and top hat ready for an elegant evening.
He is 3 inches tall and made of hand dyed cashmere.
Although his lady friend has already been sold, he is available on my website.
Congratulations Andrea! I just love the tiny beads on his toes.
Hi Roxanne,
I'm rather new to TT, and still a bit shy about posting, but when I read this I just had to add my two cents.
Over the years I have expanded into many areas. After starting out with my tiny three inch dressed mice, I have also done larger animals. dollhouse minis, larger doll clothes and now my fashion bears. Not only have these changes pushed me to explore and develop new techniques, they have also had the added benefit of growing my customer base. While someone may have found me through my doll clothes, they end up being some of my best buyers for my mice. And others who found me through my mice have commissioned me to dress their dollhouse dolls, etc.
Imho, change is what keeps us happily creating. And I can personally vouch for how much fun it is to combine the bear/doll concept. It took me quite a while to design my Cobblestone Court fashion bear pattern, but it has turned out to be my favorite ~ and now I get to explore all the different periods of fashion and develop the clothing patterns for them.
Go for it!
Hoping things start looking up for you soon! :hug:

I've been thinking about doing mustaches too ~ toying with the idea of using the rooting technique that is used to apply hair to dolls ~ or perhaps needle felting? Lots of things to explore.
Peter ~ you are a man after my own heart! Gotta love spreadsheets!!!!
Thanks for your kind words, Katy ~ and the giggle too.
Thanks! He was definitely one of my favorites so far ~ now he's on his way to Germany.
Thank-you Carol. She was fun to make.
This wee 3" leprechaun mouse of cream cashmere is soooooo richly detailed.
Much research has gone into what makes a leprechaun ~ and I do believe I have captured all the enchantment of those delightful creatures in this piece ~ at least that is what I have been told by the one who lives in my garden.
He is available on my website.

I'm in love!
Lovely soft colors.
What a little cutie pie!
This 13 inch self-standing bear is made of stone colored mohair and coordinating tan cashmere paw pads on her feet. Her eyes are German glass and she has am embroidered mouth and a glass nose. I made Judith's ooak outfit with an ultra-feminine embroidered lace blouse that has a filled sweetheart neckline trimmed in scalloped braid. The sleeves are puffed above the elbows and fitted to the wrist, with green piping between the two sections. A pencil skirt of green dupioni silk has an insert of peach printed cotton and a darling cream silk flower in the back. Her hat was entirely made by hand as well. Its base was fashioned out of cream coarse woven cotton. Beige organza was sewn around the brim. Green and ivory wired ribbons were used for figure eight rosettes and further trimmed with purchased beaded rosebuds. The hat is permanently attached.
Other details to note:
* tiny peach shank buttons on her sleeves and blouse
* the regency tassels at the tips of hankie hemline
* beige dupioni silk lace-trimmed pantaloons
* beaded lace on the waistband and the hat
She is now available on my website.
