Happy Holiday web show !

I have my web show planned around 23.00 this Evening, Dutch time. We found out this morning that my web site was hacked, had to work all afternoon to get the virus out!! This does mean I'm running late! Going to still try and get everything ready around 23.00 this evening Dutch time.

Back from Doll & Teddy Bear Show at Ahoy Rotterdam!

My Example bear for the Old Joy bear pattern & kits











Work from Stepi-Bären (Germany)





I love these old trimmed dresses and outfits!!!
I bought a few from Nicole Stepien and hope to dress my bears in them soon ;-)



More work from Stepi-Bären











Work from my friend Anne Paelman (Belgium)











My Mother helped me out again (THANKS MOM) we were kind of tired, had to get up at 3.30 in the morning to arrive at the Ahoy in Rotterdam on time! Had a wonderful time here, many.. many kind, sweet and enthusiastic reactions!! We'll be back on the International Dolls and bear fair next year for sure, only not in Rotterdam but different place next year, it will be at the Brabanthallen in s'Hertogenbosch, so.. see you all next year?

We've been back for a week now, It took me a whole week though to get things kind of organized again, started sewing as well!! trying to organize a little Hug me again bear show of my own this month (In Holiday spirit ;-) I'm bursting with ideas! keep visiting my blog for up-dates!!!

Hope you'll enjoy the photo's, for me it is back to my sewing table now ;-)

New shop on Zibbet!

I just opened my new The Old Pincushion shop on Zibbet!!!
No listing fee and no sellers fee like Etsy charges, therefore you will find all items lower priced than the items in my Etsy shop!

So... save a coin and visit me on Zibbet :-)

Also new Mohair fabric available in beautiful Autumn colors, great for aged or Primitive bears!




Wishing everyone a wonderful, sunny and creative weekend!!!

Back from Gent!

Calm before the storm..



Thanks for helping and traveling with me Mom! Your the best help ever!!













During the show I got the opportunity to meet a few dear bear friends I know from the internet in real, very special to meet Mireille Begijn, she was so wonderful to share the photo below with me, don't we look handsome??



Also really wonderful to meet Anne Paelman from Bear Heart (Belgium) Susan Leigh from Bearleigh bears, she came all the way from Australia!!! and all the way from New Zealand came Tracey Smith from Bears by Tracey and Laraine White W. from Rainebears.. from the UK Barbara-Ann and her Old time Teds, from the Netherlands Gerda Kwaspen from Muppie's beren
I'm probably forgetting a few friends and I also thought I had more photo's, I can't find them though, think they might be on my mothers camera..?





We got so spoiled by Anne and her wonderful friend, she gave us these super cute chocolate hedgehogs! We still haven't been eating them, there just to cute to bite!!

I had a most wonderful time and sure am looking forward to Ahoy!!!
