So I decided last minute to enter an artist bear makers competition; the deadline for entries is the 1st March so this weekend I shall be learning the art of working faster but maintaining quality and attention to detail!

The last 2 days have given hope to me that spring will be with us shortly. Glorious sunshine; all be it a little chilly; has encouraged the crocus and snowdrops to start poking their way through the flower beds and inspired me to rummage through my stash of mohair and select some furs for new members of the Monton family. I look forward to sharing them with you as they start to come to life.
