I have been working hard recently making bears for the Teddy Bear Artist Invitational (TBAI) in Binghamton, USA, and also for Hugglets, UK which is two weeks later.
Here are a few bears that I will be taking to the States with me for TBAI. There are more preview bears on my blog if anyone wants to take a peek.

(These guys are about 7cm sitting)

Samantha,
What is the date for the TBAI show this year? It's about a 5 hour drive from Newcastle, and I'm trying to talk hubby into driving down to see it. I used to exhibit at TBAI and it's always been a great show. Wish me luck LOL!

hugs,

Brenda

Hi Daphne and Samantha,
I will do my best to coax hubby to go, but it all depends what's happening with his job. His store is being renovated, and it may be happening in August, which probably means "no", but I'll try.

hugs,

Brenda
