It is so exciting when I see my little creations in print.

On the cover of New Zealand Teds Magazine!

Yes, it is true.  

Cobblestone Creations has been 

featured in another magazine.

They've included photos of many, many mice.  

Is one of yours there?

Miss Eugenia smiling back at me. 

Thank-you Teddy Bear and Friends!

Published again!

I am so happy to share with you that 

more of my little creations have made it into a publication.  

The editors at Teddy Bear and Friends 

have included some of my work in their 

Holiday Roundup!
 (Dec 2013 issue, page 23)

 

Both the Thanksgiving Bears and the 

Potbelly Santa Mouse are available

on my website.

Museum Bound!

It is a phrase commonly heard in the world of 

artist bears ~ "Don't worry that he hasn't sold, 

the right buyer just hasn't come along yet."  

Yeah, people in the artist bear community are nice like that.

Recently those kind words hit home for me.

Perhaps you will remember my 1960's hippie bear, 

Norman Meadowlark, who traveled to England 

for the NTBAA Awards, won 3rd place in his category,
 and was subsequently purchased by the award organizers 
for their shop, Brewins' Bruins in Swanage.  

Well, after being in that shop during their Summer season, 

he remained unsold, so the shop owners took him with them 

to Hugglets.  Yes, you read that right ~ 

one of my bears was at Hugglets!  

For those of you who may be unfamiliar, 

Hugglets is one of the premier bear fairs in the 

wonderfully bear-loving United Kingdom.  

I was thrilled ~ a bit miffed that he got to go 

without me ~ but all the same simply thrilled 

to have one of my pieces there.

Here he is ~ front and center on the display table, 

along with a duplicate of his trophy 

and a copy of the issue of Teddy Bear Times  

in which he is pictured.

If that wasn't exciting enough, Norman found a 

home that day!  And not just any ol' home ~ nosiree ~ 

Norman is to be part of a new

Teddy Bear Museum in  Edinburgh, Scotland! 

I could not be more proud!

Thank-you, Deirdre!!!!

Published!

I am happy to share the news with you that many of my creations have been included in the new volume of Pretty Fairyland #3.

It is a Russian publication that includes work from some of 

the most talented doll and bear artists in the world.

I am simply thrilled to be included among them.

Print and digital copies are available on MagCloud.

Did you see this?

I am simply tickled to have another of my darling mice 
published in Teddy Bear Times.

Miss Penelope Randall of Cobblestone Circle 

 is included in the Bears in Love 

article of the April/May issue. 

You can find her on page 34.

Thank-you Teddy Bear Times!!! 

Just a few loose ends to tie up for 2011



So, how was everyone's holiday? 

It was busy, busy, busy for me so I'd like to take a moment now to wish each and every one of you a most joyous New Year full of happiness, good health and prosperity!

During the past few weeks I had wanted to share a few things with you, but well, somehow never found the time. 

First, let me thank all of you who took the time to send holiday greetings ~ they were indeed appreciated.  I had to laugh that more than one of you found this gem of a card from JacquieLawson e-cards featuring a particularly fitting storefront near the end. 

Some of you have very sharp eyes indeed to spot the little Cafe Cobblestone. 

I loved it!

I also wanted to let you know that Mr. Cobblestone and I once again found a few days for an overnight getaway to Chicago for some Christmas shopping.  We took the train down and had such a lovely time discovering Chicago's Old Town district, lunching at O'Brien's which was decked out in the most charming Christmas decor I've seen in quite a long time.  A chilly (ok, downright cold) walk down Lake Shore Drive through the Gold Coast region brought us to Michigan Ave.  We dined at Frontera that evening and were lucky enough to see Rick Bayless himself.   It is an exceptional meal any time and I strongly urge everyone to get there at least once.

Our hotel was one of the Kimpton properties, specifically The Monaco Hotel.  Now, this was way more fun that it should have been ~ they have large window seats in some of the rooms, with memory foam cushions, where you can snuggle up with the wool blanket and pillows watching the Chicago River.    

Someone in our room even managed to fall asleep there.

I was also extremely thrilled to have been published in the UK

 Teddy Bear Times Magazine! 

Yep ~ there are my mice and bears on page 36 of the Dec/Jan issue. 

Thank for including my work, Faye!!

The decorations have all been packed away over the past few days and now I am ready to start on some new bears and mice.  Two bears have been cut out today, and 3 new mice have been started as well.  Hard to say what exactly they will end up being ~ you know they have a curious way of exerting their own personalities.  I can tell you that Hansel and Gretel are in the planning stages ~ I've found the perfect house to cover in faux candy!  What fun!!!

Just had to share this!

I know it is rushing the season, but I just had to share

my latest bears with you ~ The Carolers.

They will be featured in my ad in the December issue of

Teddy Bear Review,

so they had to be done now.

The lamppost was made by Mr. Cobblestone ~ what a guy!
