What an exciting week!!!!!

Hi all!
Hope you are keeping warm. Today in Lower Hutt it is a chilly 3 degrees however it is going to be a beautiful sunny day. Everything has returned back to normal at LBC HQ. We have returned from Brisbane after a very successful show. It was great to meet my 'Bears By Tracey 'collectors as well as show off and sell our new Snuggle Bears and Bunnies.

This coming weekend the 'Bears By Tracey' bears will be trading in the Teddies Worldwide online show.

Please go to www.teddiesworldwide.com where you will find my preview bear. While you are there you are able to vote.

Here is a photo of my preview bear Her name is Nikki

Hi all and a special hi to all our new followers.

We have some exciting news to share that Little Bear Company got featured on Kid Independant blog on Saturday right out of the blue. 

Would love it if you have a chance to check it out and leave a comment on their blog or facebook. http://kidindependent.com/2013/06/handmade-teddy-bears-bunnies/

This week is going to be a very busy one as we fly to Brisbane Australia on Friday. This weekend we are trading at the 'Winter Wonderland Doll and Bear Show. It is going to be great to catch up with friends. I will take photos and share them at the end of next week when we return.

Anyway the bears are still getting their outfits prepared and it looks like Wednesday will be the dress rehearsal. I will try to post photos later in the week with a special post.

Here are 2 new bears waiting for their noses to be waxed.

Chilly friday however the sun is shining

Hi all! 

Firstly I just want to say a big 'Thank-you' to all the lovely comments that Noeline and I have received about our new Etsy shop.  If you still haven't checked it out, click on the link on the right hand side of the blog.

It is winter here in New Zealand and when I woke up it was 3 degrees....very chilly when walking the dog at 6.00am.

However next Friday Noeline, Laraine (Rainebears) and I are heading to Brisbane, Australia for the Winter Wonderland Doll and Bear Show. Lets hope the weather  is a little warmer.

Had a lovely time at the beach house and managed to get 2 avocado colored bears completed. You can see them here in the photo below. They are waiting for there friends to be completed. I will show the completed bears next Monday.


As all the bears are still getting their clothes completed I am unable to show you them. However return on Monday and I am sure I will have photos of them.
 
Well off to drop Campbell to school
Have a great weekend

Catch up time....

Happy holiday everyone,

It's Queens Birthday weekend here in New Zealand so I have been taking the opportunity to catch up with family and friends and also find time to get those needles busy.

As Tracey told you its my job to get the outfits ready for the bears.  Its always exciting trying to find the right look for each bear. 



So, I have been busy with my needles and here are a  couple of cardigans and jumpers that I have finished recently.  What do you think?


Keep an eye out as there are some more designs on the drawing board and I will be working on them during the next week or so.

Hugs
Noeline & Tracey
