Spectacular July Sky

Happy Fourth! Look how Mother Nature lit up the night sky :O) Do you see the elephant in the cloud like i do?

What's the buzz?

I'm happy to be working on special bears currently for Abracadabra Teddies shop (UK) and Limited Editions for The Toy Shoppe (USA).

On the horizon~ There will be another fun Pengy bunch in the next Teddy Bears of Witney catalog, which comes out in the fall.
More news to be posted here soon...

June Bears

A big round of HUGS to all those who adopted bears from my June listing!! You are the best!
Making the bears was a lot of fun, and lately I've been enjoying doing the limited editions. Afterwards I realized I had to make more hang tags, so I burned some midnight oil (and morning oil, if there is such a phrase!) and got those done too. They are acid-free card stock that I age to look nice and olde, embellished with archival ink of course :O)
Enjoy!

New Bears Update!

My next website update is happening June 7, Thursday at 12 noon Central (10am Pacific/ 11am Mountain/ 1pm Eastern).
There will be a delightful assortment of new little bears! (hint: including some little black bears :O) www.peng-peng.com

The Archival Kid in Me

Can you believe I saved this sheet of Hallmark stickers since 1979?? I was quite an archival 9 year old! These big-headed baby animal stickers were just too darn cute to stick them on my lunch pail, so i just saved them ever so flatly in a neat little envelope (to this very day!). Old habits die hard :O)

Thanks Linda of "Original Felted Folksies" for sending these Littlest Pet Shop stickers by Hasbro, circa 2006 :) The trend continues!
