So pleased you like him! He's lovely 'in the fur' ... taking good photos of dark brown bears is a bit tricky!
Introducing 20" Malteser! He's an olde tyme treat, created from yummy dark chocolate German mohair. I really hope you like him. Available for adoption from www.allbearbypaula.com

Thank you Edmond!
I love making bears at this time of year - it's Autumn in the UK! This is 'Blackberry Crumble', a 13" mohair teddy I have just made to celebrate the season. He is currently available from my website: www.allbearbypaula.com
I'd like to introduce a girly bear this time! I've called her 'Constance' ... she's 22", so a lovely big girl Full details available from my website: www.allbearbypaula.com

Delighted to say, Otto has a new owner!
Polly and Betty are settling in so well together ... lots of work, but lots of fun too!
Thank you for the lovely comments ... yes, this bear gave me a nice opportunity to do some knitting!
That's good to hear Vicki
Fabulous work!
So glad you like Otto, thank you for the kind comments!
Renee, the answer to your questions is PLENTY!
Thank you Becky and SueAnn! Lovely to hear from you both
My girls are both doing well, but as you can imagine, they are time consuming - in the best possible way of course! I'm making a little time to sew each day while little Betty naps, so hope to have bears to share in the weeks ahead, as she becomes more independent
Thought I'd drop in and say hello again as I've been away, busy with family and a new puppy, so bear-making has taken a bit of a backseat for a while. With Autumn on the horizon here in the UK, I'm starting to feel inspired again though and now that puppy Betty has settled into a routine with big sis Polly, I am looking forward to being able to spend some time in my workroom again ... I've missed my bear-making! I've given my website a makeover in readinness for the new bears I have planned!
Catch up with you again soon I hope xxx
Introducing my latest big teddy bear, he's called 'Otto' and is 25" tall.

Elliot is hot off the press this week! He is 18" of glorious kid mohair and especially for those of you who love traditional teddy bears, he has just been made available for adoption from my website!
Bailey is my most recent teddy bear, a sweet classic, 'no fuss' teddy, 14" tall ... adopted straightaway, I'm very happy to say!
Goodness me, there is so much to learn when it comes to modern day internet marketing! Thank you for your help Jason - really interesting!
That's really helpful, thanks Jason, I'll take a look. Have been meaning to verify. But can't work out how to add what's needed to my website - annoying! Jenny, I like work in progress and do pics quite often on Twitter and my Blog - have been working them into my new FB page lately too so will keep that up, thanks for the tip.
Thanks Jenny, it's interesting to read your take and very helpful - your page is doing brilliantly! My old one was pretty good but that had built up over a few years - starting from scratch again hasn't been my brightest business idea, lol! I use Pinterest and hadn't realised until yesterday I could link it into my FB business page, same with Instagram, so I've been reading up and going goggle eyed trying to work out how best to do things and managed to link those now, so fingers crossed that is interesting to visitors. Like you, I have also occasionally paid to promote a bear when I have it available and that has helped, but I'd like to build a more regular following which isn't always about me punting a new bear for sale! I wasn't aware you could purchase 'likes' - goodness me, whatever next!
PS - note to self, need to take more interest in 'stats'! Thanks for the pointer Jenny! Just read I've achieved 1074 reach on my business page so far this week, with 253 engaged - so although not at your giddy heights, it seems things are building after all!
A little while ago, I decided to take the plunge and close my Facebook account as it had become too unwieldy to manage with many 'friends' I didn't know at all. Unfortunately, by closing my personal page, my teddy business page also disappeared, so I decided to start again in a more controlled way and build a new business page. I'd like to make this page as interesting as possible for visitors so I'd love to know what collectors hope to find when they visit a FB page ... also, if any bear artists have any tips for helping to 'grow' the reach of my new page, I'd be eternally grateful! Thank you!
Thanks Conni, much appreciated! I love to blog ... been blogging since 2007
Glad you like this pair - thank you for the lovely comments
Thank you! Delighted you like Li Wu!
