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.

What an exciting week!

Hi all. Hope you have had a lovely week. I am just about to head off for a walk with my sister Paula. 

Well what a week it has been. I have managed to produce some lovely "Bears By Tracey" bears however I am sorry to tell you that I haven't managed to produce any lying down style bears yet.

Hopefully next week. 

Today is design day and tidy up studio day as well

Searching my studio I found this little bear in bits. As it it a long weekend here in New Zealand, we are heading to our beach house. I aim to finish off this little bear and have it for show next Friday.

Noeline is bringing you all a special post on Monday

During the week I started this lovely golden bear

 This is what the bear looked like on Tuesday

Next week I will show you what I have made out of this fabric

Due to the long weekend I will put up a special post next Wednesday showing the bears all dressed up

Well that is all for now

Have a great weekend

Hugs Tracey and Noeline

What a week! Look what I have finished!

Hi all! Hope you had a lovely weekend. Here at LBC HQ it has been extremely busy. 

Wednesday was an exciting day as Little Bear Company launched its new products the Snuggle Bears and Bunnies. 

Our Etsy store is finally open. Check them out at www.littlebearcompany.etsy.com.

Also Tracey was a bit obsessed with her 'Bears By Tracey' artist bears last week. She finished a record number of 7 bears!!!! They are still waiting to be dressed as Noeline has come down with the flu and Tracey is not going anywhere near her!!! So instead of 'What is on my table this week.. it is look 'What I have finished!'

Here are the three sunshine yellow artist bears Tracey started on Tuesday, By Thursday they were all completed and then she decided to make some of her very popular 'no hair' mohair bears and  managed to finish 3

Here they are the 7 bears still waiting to get dressed, shaded and noses waxed.

Have a great week and come back on friday and see what Little Bear Company has been up to

Hugs
