Hi my old friends.... :hug:
I think of you often but never find the time to read or post, so here I am waiting up for my husband and I thought I would use my stolen moment to write..
The last time I was active was right about the time Daphne was getting swamped with bunny stuff. Seeing Mimzy is such a thrill for me, I can't wait to show my daugther the bunny.
As some of you know, I quit making bears when I had my baby - amazingly over 1 year ago. Since time is so short this moment, I will post a pic and come back and fill you in on how things are going for us. I am currently recovering from surgery and am getting the crafty itch, but am not quite able to use my "sewing" foot! :)
Here is Madison Grace at 1 year. She looks sweet but can be a little tart. :bday: 
This was her last year
I am in such awe of all the work you ladies do, the bears and friends are so great! I need to spend more time browsing and reading!
Well you and hubby sure have produced one lovely little girl.
beary regards

DoodlebearsKirsten you have one little heart stealer there. Madison Grace is a beautiful little girl, I can't believe that she has already had her first birthday. Sorry to hear that you have had surgery, I hope you feel 100% soon and maybe even get time to sew bears once again.
Hugs Jane. 
Madison Grace is a very sweet little girl, Kirsten and how quickly that 13 months has gone.
Hugs

So great to see familar names popping up! Amazing how quick that year went by.
Funny - I tried to sew a curtain today for Maddy's room and its my right ankle which I can't use, so I had to try to control the sewing machine pedal with my left foot! ICK!
I definitely have the itch to sew bears, but can't imagine dragging out the fur with the kid and then I thought of sewing while she naps, but that can be so iffy. So maybe if I have energy, I will ty to do some at night. You all are so inspiring and are so good. I'm suppose to be cleaning, but I wanted to check the forums out again!
Since I was here last, we've moved twice. Once to a 1 bedroom apartment and then to a new house. The apartment was fun with my girl popping her head over the crib at night to see me. We moved into the house 2 weeks after I had sugery. The good part was we hired movers and house cleaners since I couldn't do it! :dance:
The surgery was to replace bone on my ankle. I had my joint "cleaned out" 2 years ago and now the joint got so bad I had to have part of it replaced. Of course my girl learned to walk the month before the sugery.
I daydream of filling Madison's room with bear creations fom my bear friends. Daphne - I often think of Oliver, my favorite bear of all. I was so excited about his pattern and cute look, I have one bear just laying in pieces waiting to be finished. So pleased that the lady who made the Mimzy bunny owns my bear! LOL I haven't caught up completely on all that went on with you while I was gone, but I've been praying for you! Oh my I'd love to attend your bear show too! SO proud of you my friend.
As I read I am excited to "meet" new people and to see what the Oldies are up to. You all are too busy for me!
Well, my novel needs to be wrapped up. Cat, I'd love to see a pic of the twins!
