Work Progressing..dust still drifting!

Well the re pointing of the brick is still coming along. There is still dust to be remove every night before we can open the windows.And more money to be printed..sigh..
My husband has been working steadily on the milk house. Repairing the walls at the moment. Discovered they are insulated! Hope the up coming long weekend will mean more progress all around! And maybe that tree out back will finally start blooming money! Excited truly about the end results but the process can be so expensive and tedious!

I have staked my claim!

After years of working on our old house we have finally arrived at a where there may be a new garage this summer and mostly cleared land where the barn was. We kept the little milk house because we just couldn't part with it. And yesterday I said MINE! I want a studio of some sort! And this is apart from the house..it's concrete based and therefore fire proof mostly! And lo and behold my own little elf is out there repairing the roof on it today! Yeah. I told him if he cleared more of the high grass around it I would help...not liking the snakes that use go be residents !I mean BIG snakes for Vt. Aauughh.. Makes me crazy just to think about it! Have to photgraph the progress! Smile! Just ran out and snapped a quick photo.

My flea market find!

Isn't he a cutie? I have been wanting a new small bear and there he was on a table just waiting for me!

Introducing Reilly!

I don't know how to describe his color..it isn't rust or even close to pink..but it sure is pretty with its dk. blue backing! He has wool felt pads and German blown glass eyes. I lifted one paw because its hard to see but most of my bears have these huge thick paw pads..the better to hug you with! He is $140. plus S&H His nose is hand stitched in two shades of brown and there is light shading on his muzzle. the pictures are pretty true to color.Hope you love this bear as much as I do!

Long nosed bear in blue!

I am finally getting around to adding bears to the blog! Isn't it awful how working for a living interferes with the fun stuff? But then again it pays for it too...! Do what you love kids!
One of my long nosed bears ( my version of the Steiff cone nosed bears..fell in love with one on EBay I couldn't afford! ) in a beautiful navy blue mohair. "Karl" has blue wool felt pads , and is lightly weighted with copper shot. German blown glass eyes and a daring green hand stitched nose complete his look! Karl is $140. Plus shipping and handling.
