My Studio :)

I absolutely love seeing where artist's create their bears and such. Looking into their lovely studios, everything so pretty and organized. Always makes me feel like creating just looking into their creative spaces! Soooo I thought I would share MY 'studio' with you so you could get a peek into my creative 'space' :)
Below is my designing, tracing and cutting out table. It is also my paint booth and other various stages of my creating goes on here as well. This table is also known as...my kitchen table. (Uhh..Please ignore the pop tart crumbs...thanks)
Below you will find an absolute work horse..a.k.a my fantastic antique portable Singer sewing machine. I simply cannot imagine sewing on anything else! I love you little sewing machine!This is my office assistant, Link...a.k.a my lap warmer :)
Oh would you look at that! My assistant asleep on the job...I'll have to have a word with him later....the slacker...
We have now arrived to my sewing station, where I do all my hand sewing, needle and scissor sculpting, stuffing and other general creativeness....a.k.a my living room couch. It's great and there's no assembly required! And look at the fabulous built in pin cushion...Yes I know! And might I mention comfy as well! (The blur you see below is my assistant, umm..bathing himself..this is not acceptable...not acceptable at all!)
And there you have it, my creative spaces! I hope you've enjoyed the tour and before we leave I thought I would also throw in a tiny sneak peek at the fur I will be using for my next bear :)
Bye bye now!
Hugs, Kimi :)

It's almost Halloween!

Hello! It's been awhile since I posted...yeah I know I sound like a broken record right? But it has been wildly busy ever since my kids started back to school. Between volleyball practices, volleyball games, spell bowl practices, my little 5 year old son having separation anxiety every morning before school...it's been just a tad bit busy! But I think things have finally calmed down a bit...I think. I probably shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch right? Oh great, now I have myself all worried, I probably jinxed myself for sure! LOL! Ooooh well....anyways, just wanted to share some pictures of our newly carved pumpkins! My family and I spent the afternoon each carving our own pumpkins :) We all drew our own pictures and carved them, even my 5 year old...with one of those cool safety carvers of course :) So I took some super cool pictures to share them with you!
Above is my husband's happy pumpkin and my spooky tree!
And above is Hannah's super awesome zombie pumpkin and Evan's adorable puppy and owl pumpkin! Aren't they great!! :)
Mwahaa haa!!!
Hannah with her pumpkin
Evan with his pumpkin!



Our little 65 VW bug is all dressed up for Halloween too! We put pumpkin lights on the roof rack! Isn't that just cool!?
And after lighting our pumpkins to see what they looked like....the moon started coming up behind the clouds! It was sooo pretty and yeah...a little creeeepy too!!
Happy Halloween to all my friends! Hope it's super spooooky!!
Hugs, Kimi :)

My newest bear...Please meet Wetherbee!




I'm so pleased to introduce my newest creation little Wetherbee. He is my very first attempt at creating a bear to look 'old and well loved' while still maintaining my 'look'. I had so much fun creating this little fellow and I hope you will enjoy meeting him just as much!

He was created using a honey beige mohair. I added 'repair' stitches, patches and shading to give him his 'vintage' look. He has tiny features including 8 mm classic black glass eyes. If you would like to see more of little Wetherbee please visit his auction by clicking on the link below.



We would both be so grateful if you stopped by! His no reserve auction runs for 7 days ending next Tuesday July 27th at approximately 9:15 P.M. EST.


Another bit of good news I would like to share...I entered my very first awards contest and was so excited and honored to learn that my bear Meilee won 3rd place in the Teddy Bear catagory! Thank you sooo very much to everyone who voted for Meilee and for being allowed to be a part of the contest!

Biggest hugs to all, Kimi and Wetherbee
