Get going girl! bear_tongue  I started yesterday but sat there for half hour thinking, what now? Now I've got going I can see what I need to change for later so it kind of flows from one bear to another. It is hard though when the weathers grumpy and after the holidays. Saying that I'm sewing legs and they are prooving to be very fidley, so am waiting for my lunch to cook. You need to take little breaks. I've got work later and tomorrow so its whatever gets done this afternoon, then friday. Don't worry you're not the only one! I'll have something eat then check in on here later, so no slacking! :hug:

Hi Clare and Amanda
I'm feeling on top of things at the moment, finding it easy to get on with the bears. I'm having to stay in and look after my son who has been poorly with a fever for the last few days. It amazing what you can get done, if work doesn't get in the way. Have a great boss.
I Legally started my business today and I feel on top of the world, that has motivated me to getting on with the bears and prove to myself that the bears are good and they will sell. :clap:  :clap:
I'll try to get photos onto the computer, but may have to wait until hubby home from Off-shore in a few weeks time.
Keep the great work going, as its people like you that gave me the inspiration. :hug:  :hug:
Love Kayx. bear_wub

I could use some of that too Claire.  I've had my nose stuck in books lately.  Right now I'm reading Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt...not to mention books on making cloth dolls.  BUT...I can't actually make myself sit down and MAKE a cloth doll or a bear for that matter.

I'm blaming it on the weather.

Nice to know we all have our ups and downs. I might have started Clare, but the limbs are flying into the bin! One of those days me thinks! :hug:

Clare,
     Everyone has their moments.  I went through a spell a few years ago where I didnt' make a bear for  3 months.  Maybe your body is telling you to take it easy, with the baby and all.  Don't stress yourself out about it.

Shantell -  Oooh, I haven't read Angelas Ashes in years - it was such a good book AND movie!  It's hard to read parts of it though as there are some really sad bits.  Frank McCourt has such a sense of humour, but I guess that's how some people survive.

                                                    hugs,

                                                    Brenda

Oh I know what your saying over the xmas break I made myself finish UFO's from the last year because I wanted to start this year with a clean slate and I even re organised my workroom and now I can't seem to make a decision on what to start on. I usually have a couple on the go at once (cant seem to do one at a time) I did sign up for my first show for this year yesterday so hoping that will spur me on.

Claire it may not happen overnight but it will happen hang in there.

Clare don't worry, just take care of yourself and listen to your body.  You are working and having a baby and you need a bit of "ME" time to do what you feel like and very soon you will feel like doing bears again.
