I Ain't Got No Body........

This is what my desk looks like when I am preparing for a show. I have six bears all in various stages of creation. The poor little heads keep looking at me and begging for their bodies. I had better get a wriggle on as I need to have them photographed and submitted by the 19th January. The Show I am preparing for is the Teddy Bears and Critters 14th February 2009, 24 hour on line show. I will let you see another preview closer to the date and with the little peeps looking more like bears, I hope!!!!

Look Who I Am Babysitting....

My brother has an Alpaca farm here in South Australia, about 8 hours drive away from us. In January he and his wife are going to an "Alpaca Conference", and guess who is going to the farm to mind the Alpacas!!

I am so excited as there are several babies at the moment. The newest is this little fellow Toby. This photo was taken when he was only 24 hours old. When they are babies they are called "Crias". I can't wait.
