Bears for show

I have just finished lunch after being at Oliver and Campbells soccer games all morning! The sun is shining, which is good as I have heaps of washing on the line.

Unfortunately Dave has cancelled his trip to the beach house with the boys. Yes, that was my mothers day present to have peace and quiet , no one at home except the cat and the dog,while I sew and finish my bears for next weeks show in Hamilton. Now it is not happening.  Boo hoo! I had planned to stay up late sewing while watching girly dvds.

Below is what I am finishing, there are 2 elephants, 3 'no hair' mohair bears, small white bear and 2 polar bears on my sewing table all in bits....wish me luck!

what is on my table

To all my lovely friends, here is what I am sewing at present. My lovely polar bear design!

I am off for the next 5 days to visit my daughter and son in Dunedin. They are both at university and tomorrow is my daughters 21st birthday.  Campbell my 9 year old and I are flying down to see them....so exciting. There will not be much sewing going on over the next 5 days. I have a show in 3 weeks so the pressure will on  when I return on Saturday.

I will try and post some more photos while I am away

hugs
