Peggy...a new bear available

This is Peggy...her details are on my 'available' page!!

New bear tomorrow fingers crossed!

I am having problems with my computer. I had to off load 30,000 pictures from my hard-drive...yes you read correctly. I am so bad at deleting old photos! Anyway that has taken me ages today as sending them to a separate hard-drive took forever...So I did manage to get on with a bit of sewing tonight...
I should be able to post pictures of the most adorable girl bear tomorrow....fingers crossed!!!!

Bunty the Bunny...

This is Tia Maria...my very newest bear...she's off to live with her new mom very soon. She's my biggest ever bear at 24 inches tall and is quite a chunk. I will be making more big bears very soon!

A helping hand!

I can't say I was born with a head for technical wizardry and so I was delighted to find so many great resources on the internet which helped me through the hefty  process of re-jigging my website/blog. The nicest and most helpful of all is http://shabbyblogs.com/ and all credit to them for the tutorials which are easy-peasy and if I can do it literally anyone can.
Hats off to http://www.kevinandamanda.com/  too...useful info there also.....
I have spent more time learning things I never knew this week and my head is full of all things techie now....

It won't last long!!

Emails on a go slow!

My emails are not working at the moment...because I changed over my website thingy (technical term) and so my emails are going off into cyberspace. If you need to speak to me or are expecting to hear from me please message me via FACEBOOK till it's sorted out!
Sorry!! :o(
We're back up and running now...all sorted out ..PHEW!

To Etsy...or not to Etsy....

I am deliberating about ETSY.....I have had problems since the beginnning of the business with the first come first served option when selling my bears. I am looking at the option of incorporating an ETSY shop into my website which will allow people to buy the bear by clicking a button. This solves the issue of who was first..and might be a fairer way to resolve the problem.

I'd be interested to hear what people think of ETSY and whether it might work?

New home for the THREE O'CLOCK BEARS

For some time now I have been struggling to do my website and my blog...and I have to always ask my son in law to update my website and it's such a pain in the neck! Anyway I decided , after talking to various people that the way forward is to have a home for my blog AND my website under the same roof so to speak. I will be able to upload news, bears, pictures and all kinds on nonsense here on my website cum blog.
I hope it will prove easier than having to cajole people into helping me.
This weekend has been a huge learning curve for me, initially I asked Shelli from Potbelly Bears to help to design this new template and she did a fabulous job, but my head is full of stuff that only I can see and so I decided after a whole weekend of clicking and saving, reading, re-reading and swearing that I could manage to do it myself. Like the little train that could , I think I can I KNOW I can!
This is the first post of many to this blog and I hope that someone out there wants to read my ramblings!!!
