On the work table this weekend...

I have been working on four little bears this week. As you may remember, I work a full-time job and create little bears in the evenings and weekends. In fact, I work so much on them I need to find a housekeeper! Each bear has no less than three hours of hand sewing time, and another three or so hours of dyeing, jointing, stuffing, and adorning. Nothing but bears get done when I am on a roll! This week I got into the Valentine mood and dyed three bears different shades of pink/red. I also have a white one in the works. They will be done and available by Sunday.

I still have a few bears available on ebay ending today. http://www.ebay.com/sch/eatcakevintage/m.html?item=250976543569&sspagename=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649&_trksid=p4340.l2562

Virginia's bears.

These little ones are part of a new type of bear I am making. They are under 8" tall. They are loosely 5-way jointed. The mohair is plucked and very worn in spots. They are not shaded and simply adorned with a ribbon and button. Their eyes are vintage shoebuttons, and they have worn noses that are stitched with different vintage cotton darning threads. These little guys are available for $59 each plus travel costs. Contact me at eatcakevintage@yahoo.com or through my facebook page - Eat Cake! bears.

This red bear shows the difference between my "regular" bear and Virginia's bears.

Bears for the Holidays!

Here are the first three bears I have available. I will be adding others later today.
All bears are ~9" tall. Adoption costs $122 including travel costs in the US. Contact me at mailto:eatcakevintage@yahoo.com.

Here are a red, pale blue, and pink bear.

It's been awhile!

I can't believe it has been May since I updated my blog. Well, a lot has happened. I am still making and thankfully selling my bears. I know that times are still a little tight for many of us, so I have reduced my prices and will continue to do so. You still are getting my fabulous little Eat Cake! bears, just know that I appreciate everyone that buys one of my bears.

Now on to other news. In my last post we were heading to Idaho to watch our youngest son play in his college world series. He pitched wonderfully and won his game. It was a fun trip and a nice break for my husband and me. One chapter has closed and another one opened for our son. He was signed as a free agent with the Toronto Blue Jays. He just finished his first season and played in the minors for Gulf Coast League, Appalachain League, and finished up in the Midwest League (Single A). We are so proud of him. He was tired by the time he got home in mid-September, he had thrown around 190 innings this year.

I just wanted to thank you again for all your support. I do have some bears, including a large orange and cream panda on ebay, so take a peek!
