Teddies Worldwide … the fun continues!

I have to confess, I was going to wait until just before the show began to blog about it … it is very late here in Aus now, and I am exhausted and feeling really unwell, BUT, as they say, the show must go on, so I'm taking a quick break to recharge the creative batteries before I start sewing noses.

Oh Yes, i *am* That far behind in my preparations for this show :o(

Anyway, I had been sitting here scoffing erm politely consuming spaghetti with my impeccable manners whilst watching cycling on the telly… but as i am a super efficient multitasking super woman *cough*, I  also opened my laptop and began browsing the preview bears. 

Yeahhhhhh so complete multitasking super woman fail!  My pasta is stone cold, and I couldn't tell you who is leading the peloton (or break away?) right now coz i got totally and utterly distracted by the awesomeness of the preview bears …. all bears this show, Teddy Bears is the theme itself.

I finally made up my mind who to vote for in the Collectors Choice award ….. may I just say what an awesomely strong Australian contingent there is in this show.  Like WOW!!  I know the kind of talent we have here coz I saw it at the Woodend Show last year, but yeah … just WOW!  There is no need to take my word for it, if you haven't already seen the bears, you can head over to the show page where the link to take you to the preview bears awaits :o) Just don't dally too long if you wanted to vote coz on the 19th, the preview ends and the show begins in earnest, which means shopping, which is probably more fun that just voting huh lol … but happily, you are most welcome to do both :oP

Oh, and while i have your attention - and before i sign off - I should probably plug my little girl huh lol!?!  Mmmm, so here she is, two and a half inches of cuteness called Flossie.  Better go make her some mates now hey!

WOW!

I know I said I'd try to post more pics of my wee darlings during the show, but the truth is, every time I had some ready to go, another bear sold!!!

Now don't get me wrong, that is NOT a complaint …. Oh No Sireeeee, I am flattered and humbled!  It just means that I kept holding back on sharing pics because …. well …. because it felt plain ol' mean to taunt you with stuff that had been sold already lol!!

But now there is soooo little time left, I'm Just going to take the risk …. So, with no further ado, please meet my 2 remaining teds:

Quite frankly I need someone to buy at least one of them, simply to give me a few moments peace lol!  

And, just quietly, I could have sworn I heard a chorus of "nobody loves you, everybody hates you, you should go and eat worms …." coming from the direction of where they are all currently hanging out together.  Surely I could never create bears that mean though ….. could I ROFL?!?!?!

NO!!  No, I'm sure that was just my overtired imagination lol.  Yup, Definitely my imagination ...

Extravaganza!!

…  A teddy one!  

Even better, a Teddies Worldwide one!!  

A Teddies Worldwide Teddy Bear Extravaganza Internet Show *does a little happy dance*.

So have you popped over to have a squiz at the preview teds yet … i think it is safe to say "WOW"!!  

I kid you not, the teds that can be seen on the preview page HERE  are Ah-Maze-Zing!  My little guy - Tolly - is hanging out with the other teds in the "miniature" category.  If you are looking for a particular artist, the teds are listed alphabetically based on the trading name of the artist :o)  Just click on the small pics to get a bigger pop up version 

… like so

I am having a right tough time trying to narrow down my favourite teds to vote for in the 'Collectors Choice Award'.  There are 5 categories this show - dressed, undressed (bare), boy, girl and best in show - which kinda makes it easier because i can show the love to more teds, but YIKES they are all so cute it is still mighty hard lol!!

Voting ends 4 hours prior to the show going live at 4pm Friday afternoon (New York time - which is 7am Saturday morning for me and everyone else in the AET zone) so there isn't buckets of time left for me to make up my mind either :(  check HERE to see what time it will be in your neck of the woods :)

Woodend 2012 Bear Show

No more sleeps to go to the 2012 Woodend Teddy Bear Show .... the day has dawned, and in a few short hours the doors will swing wide and the fun will begin :o)

 I for one have some serious sleep catching up to do lol, and maybe as I drift off into the land of nod later today, I shall be pondering the thought “is a show in late October one that welcomes Spring a we bit late, or is it one that says Hello Christmas a wee bit early?”.   Eh *shrugs* who knows, I just hope these two find homes so I don’t have to listen to their  infernal arguing about it :oP

For more fun and details, check the shows Facebook page HERE, where you can also find the details of a very special radio show that will be on at 10 am(ish) today *whispers* 774ABC

(Not even) One week to the Woodend Teddy Bear Show

It’s kinda scary just how much time going about living ones life can actully take up lol ... I mean, I’ve just been going about my daily tasks - some fun, some not so much - and while I’ve been in the process of getting on with these things, some where along the way, a very large chunk of time has.... well ..... vanished?!?!  

The last time I looked there was heaps - Heaps - of time left before the end of October ... and we all know what the end of October brings don’t we *nods and smiles* MmmHmmmm!   The doors opening on the ever wonderful Woodend Teddy Bear show!!

But nope *shakes head*.   Oh No No NO *waggles finger* those doors .... the ones to St Ambrose Hall in Templeton Street,  they will be opening in a little over 5 days!  FIVE DAYS!!   I know .... How?  When??  Whhhaaaa HUH???  But I kid you not, the show really truly ruley IS in five days lol!

Now, you are going to have to excuse me, because I have bears that need finishing up, and if I dare to blink .... well, those five days are going to vanish as quickly as the last few months have lol, and then my table is going to look rather sad and bare, and that would never do!
