Teddy Bears and Critters - Australasia

Hi all,

Little late this month with the featured artist so this will run until middle of November, then I will run  the next one for Nov-Dec then possibly take a break.

You will all enjoy this one...it's a great read!

A wonderful story Linda! Your piece of paradise looks wonderful......

I was searching through my old bear mags for an article and came across lots of your bears over the years and WOW what a wonderful progression of the most fabulous beary bears in the world!!!!!!

Hugs Linda

Linda, I certainly can relate to your lifestyle...we built a mud-brick home many years ago, it was designed by Alistair Knox from Eltham....we lived in a caravan with 3 small children while building......it wasn't finished either until the hard decision to sell it 12 years later.....you mentioned your just a hippie...I am sure in my past life I WAS a hippie...I hate shoes and love the smell of incense etc wafting through the house.

A great read, and if we ever get to Tassie with our caravan we will call by...

Hi Linda

Great read it's funny but you live just as I pictured you too. Are you an earth sign? It looks lovely and your deck looks like the  perfect place to sit and sew or have that odd glass of wine.

Hi Girls, I've just spent a couple of hours in the sun weeding and discovered my chives!  I'm about to go into town to the optometrists, I'm missing my stolen glasses!

 We've got plenty of room to park a caravan, Denise and yes Raewyn copius amounts of wine have been consumed on the patio, we've had some great New Years eves! I guess my bears have come a long way over the years Linda  HUGZ

A great read Linda.Ii'm looking forward to seeing your acreage whenever we get over there and sharing a glas of wine or two

Ooooohhh I love reading about everybody ; we're such a diverse bunch (apart from chocolate and bears ) What an amazing place to live Linda , and how inspiring !

Joy oh joy just got my computer back today !...and in the nick of time to read your good story!  Congratulations Linda on some wonderful work this year and well deserved awards!   Like Raewyn I can definately imagine you in that lovely place ... go girl !

A couple of years ago I would never have thought that I'd actually miss a computer! It's amazing how this machine has become so important to my life, this morning I've been having headaches with it, but it seems to be sorted now. ( and what's more it's been forgiven!)

Thanks for your comments everyone, Raewynn I'm a Virgo, I think that's an Earth sign. Now all I need is some warm weather so I can make good use of the patio! 

Hi Linda,

 It was really nice to meet you at Hugglets, I had no idea that you made tiny bears as well as larger ones! It was lovely to read about you and where you live, it looks wonderful.I wish we were heading towards summer instead of the depths of winter (not my favourite season)

Hi Gail,

It was lovely to meet you too, and Ruth. I like to mix my bears up a bit because the big ones are very taxing on my old body. Then again the minis present with their own set of challenges as you would well know!

Spring and Autumn are my favourite seasons here, it just gets too dry in Summer and we're constanly scanning the sky for signs of bush fire

I love reading about each month's featured artists - feels like we get to know one another a little better.

Linda you and Chris have a fabulous property - I can just imagine your long, lazy walks with the dogs.  Fantastic - you look like you have found your piece of paradise.  My brother & his family live at Kingston Beach near Hobart - if we pop down one day to visit them I'd love to catch up with you (actually what a good excuse to go on the Spirit of Tasmania!!!)

Hugs

Hi Linda,

Your little slice of heaven looks like wonderful place to zone out and work on your bears. It was great reading your story and congratulations on such a successful year with your bears.

Cheers Susan
