Michelle Lamb contacted me a few days ago and she is thinking about getting a group of us together at her studio in Littleton. Just to have some fun, talk about shows, marketing, collectors and BEARS!!! Could even turn into a quarterly type get together, now that would be a blast.... bear_original  bear_original  bear_original ...she asked if I knew of any other artists in the area, we know that Stephanie of Sassys is very close to me,  Janet Anderson , Lena volkova in Evergreen, Kelly Graham in Lakewood, Kelly Dauterman, Debora Hoffmann and Bev Haring in Colorado Springs..............anybody else?????

That sounds like lots of fun! You know Shane, that's an idea we could work with...we have enough TTr's in the southern Ontario area that we could do an artist get together a couple of times per year too! Let's talk! bear_tongue

Michelle and I talked about this a month or so ago and thought it would be great to get together at out various homes and studios.  There are and have not been any shows in Colorado for some time so aritsts here just don't see each other.  As you mentioned, Angela, it would be a great idea for other areas as well.  Janet

I live in the springs, but I am not nearly as talented as all of you! I would consider it if you wanted a new teddy bear maker in the group... bear_ermm

Sounds like such fun and great opportunity to meet with other artists.

Daphne, California is too out of the way for you to swing by here to get me.

Shane, maybe we need to have a TT convention every couple of years.

Sheryl, I certainly hope you come! I am pretty new at this myself--only been at it a little over a year. I am very excited that this is something actually happening in my area. Hope it works out !
I wish someone really did have a jet to go around and pick up all the TTers who wanted to come. A TT convention would be great wouldn't it?

Sheryl, I checked out your website. I love the pooh corner song too. And I love your memory bear made from the navy dress pants. How wonderful!!!  How long have you been making bears? Thanks for the kind comment too! I am still learning and hopefully getting better with each bear or dog I make. Having lots of fun along the way--though I have many frustrations as well. bear_laugh
I am working on my own website. Hope to have it up and running soon. It is taking me a long time but I am close to getting it done.

Thank you for the kind words Beth. I have to say that the Seabees bear was so very hard for me to make. The pants are my significant others fathers. It was his idea to use the pants for his daughter.... the problem for me was that there was only one pair he had. I was so scared I was going to mess it up!

I have been making animals and things all my life. I made a miniature lifesize horse for my daughter years ago. My downfall is that I have never made my own patterns. I am in the process of trying to do that. I also crochet and I do create my own designs for that.

I look forward to seeing your website, good luck in getting it going. I also look forward to meeting you when we can all get together.

Sheryl
