More Exciting News....





Not going to IDEX or Toy Fair in January/February this year with a whole swag of new dolls and bears gave me the time and chance to do something I have wanted to do for a few years now- enter the US Magazine contests. Thanks to the staggered deadlines I was able to enter both the TOBY awards from Teddy Bear and Friends, as well as the Golden Teddies run by Teddy Bear Review magazine. After what seemed like an eternity of waiting, the Golden Teddies nominees were announced last week and I was absolutely beyond thrilled to have found out both my entries were nominated in their categories!
Bella (top) in the Small, Dressed category and Pirouette (below) in the Miniature, Dressed category. As with the TOBYs, the public's choice vote will follow later in the year.. and as with the TOBYs just having got this far is thrilling and such an honour!

Congratulation Karen!
What a great news!! Love the bears too! ^__^

By the way, did you release your pattern for one of the Taiwanese Teddy bear artist, that she can make elephant from your pattern & sell it?
Just curious...

Hi Karen
So glad to find your blog. Your nominations are well and truly deserved - my bears (and bird!) make me smile each time I see them : )
