The Fantasy Ball Will Soon Be Here!

I can't believe we're more than half way through May now ; it will be no time at all before the Fantasy Ball week starts over at TBACA (31st May - 6 June) As well as some delectable , fantastical creations being available from a host of artists, there will also be public voting for the nominated TACDA entries for the prestigious design awards.

I've got my special "peek" pics ready now - huge thanks to my dedicated , patient hubby who uses all his skill to produce what I've got inside my head !!!

I hope that lots of you can join us for some Fantasy Fun!

Before I flit back to my sewing here's a quick photo of "Cherish" ; who was my Golden Teddy nominated piece in the Artist Bears 5" and under , Dressed category. She'll be coming with me to the Stratford TBAE in June so she can be viewed "in the fur"- although as a V.I.B I'll be giving her a permanent home :0)
(Click the pic if you'd like to see her a squillion times bigger than real life!!)

Thursday; Good News Update!

I certainly wasn't expecting to find such a wonderful , exciting, email waiting for me this morning, it's really taken me by surprise - I've received a nomination in this year's Golden Teddy Awards!! I am totally over the moon ; and I really didn't think I'd be lucky enough to get one this time. This is so "hot off the press" that I'm not yet sure which of the 2 bears I submitted received the nomination (I was so thrilled when they were both nominated for the Sydney Bear Fair's People's Choice too) I would just like to say "Thank You very much" to Teddy Bear Review - I appreciate this from the bottom of my heart!

Despite the excitement I shall continue with my little ones for the Stratford show. Time is getting so pressing now, and I've got to that familiar point where you feel you may never finish a single piece ... it's a bit like climbing up the mountain before you get to the top and start easily chugging downhill again!
Next time I hope to post a little teaser picture ready for the Fantasy Ball over at TBACA - can't wait!

Well , limp little furry bodies are waiting...
