Getting ready for Hugglets and Paris

Hi all

Well I hope everyone had a great weekend.
Finally Dave and I were able to go on our honeymoon weekend. I know we were married in January however it was only now that we were able to take our trip.

Will show photos of our trip once I work out how I can get them off my phone.

Well it is going to be a busy week in the studio. Lots of finishing. On my table today I am working on 2 lovely little elephants.

Make sure you come back on Friday and I will show them finished!!!!!

Also in the studio they week. I am working on my Halloween and Christmas collection.

 

Is there anyone out there who would like a christmas or halloween bear?

Well better get back to the sewing. See you all on Friday

What a week!

Hi everyone, its been one of those weeks with lots going on.  It still doesn't stop Tracey from having some great design moments and in due course you will see what she has been working on. 

We have been busy working on our Christmas ideas and I am sure you will be pleased with the results when they start appearing on the table.  Isn't it great when the creative juices have an opportunity to flow?


The other exciting thing to happen this week is that we have been featured as Designer of the Week on Kid Independant. We are very proud of the article they have written about us. Please check it out when you have a chance by hitting the link above.

I have been busy with my knitting with some new combinations being tried out.  Let me know what you think?

Who has been sleeping in my bed?

Behind the scenes at LBC HQ we have been working on accessories for the bears and bunnies. 

We have just released our little kitset bed on Etsy after lots of prototypes.  It is made of MDF board and just slots together.  We also have bedding sets to go with it and more in the pipeline.    

These great little beds are ready for decorating or to use as they are.  They not only fit the bears and bunnies but also BJD dolls up to 6 inches tall, so great for Pukipuki, pukifee and Lati White.

Check out our store and let us know which is your favourite bed cover design?

What!!!! I cannot hear you!!!!!

Hi all. I think you could call me a mouse maker.
Here are a few little mice, unfortunately they cannot hear anything!

Now they can.

Which mohair do you like the best?

Home again

Hi everyone,  we got home last night after Wellington had another big earthquake.  We were lucky to be on the first plane back into Wellington after the airport had been closed for checking.  Everything was fine only a few broken glasses. 

We had a lovely weekend in Christchurch, great catching up with collectors.  We had some great feedback about our new products so we are busy working on new lines to compliment our range.  Tracey shared her knowledge on bearmaking with several new makers.

Back to reality today, sorting everything out, stocktaking then getting back into the groove.

Christchurch Doll and Bear Show

 

Catch up with you again Friday.

From one shaky place to another

You wouldn't believe it. Wellington had a good earthquake this morning. A 5.7  however Tracey and I didn't feel it as we were too busy talking  driving to the airport!  So we are now safely in Christchurch. Hopefully there will be no other quakes here .

We are all set up for the show and looking forward to our Christchurch visitors.

Here is a picture of something new I have been working on for the snuggle bears and bunnies.

 

What do you think?  Any suggestions?

Heading to Christchurch

Hi everyone from a very chilly New Zealand.  We are in the depths of winter and over the weekend it rained persistently.  What a perfect excuse to keep tucked up inside beavering away on our creations. 

We are busy getting ready to head off to the National Doll and Bear show in Christchurch this weekend at the Horticultural Centre, 57 Riccarton Road from 10am till 4pm, Saturday and Sunday.  If any of you are in the area or at the show please pop in and say hello.

I have been trying to finish off some of the new garments I have been working on for the bears, mice, elephants and dolls.  I love knitting in miniature and none of these are over 5.5 cm (2.25 inches) in length.  Let me know what you think.
