Episode 124

Recorded live and on the road to Stitches West with Nathan and Loretta. Some slightly blue content, so get the kids out of the room!

Episode 123 is live!

At last! We are getting ready to go to Stitches West! Here are Dr. Gemma's collection (some of which will be mailed by her separately) and the fantastic Star Trek bear by HeyMindy, complete with tricorder!

Let's get those bears finished for Mother Bear Project!

 I'll see you Saturday at Stitches West!!! Come get a hug!

The annual Mother Bear Project CAL/KAL has begun! The CAL/KAl ends when I get to Stitches West on Feb. 25th (I think). Follow the fun here.

And the endless Petal Shawlette.

I cannot look any more bears in the face, so to speak, and more reflections on being a road warrior.

Instructions from our own beloved KnittyBarb on how to turn in your bears for the Mother Bear CAL/KAL at Stitches West:
1. Limit: 5 bears per person
2. Place: Booth #941 - Ellen’s Wooly Wonders - she sells patterns for felted animals.
3. Important: bring $3 per bear for shipping bears to their final destination. No change will be available at the booth - those dropping off bears will be expected to have the money with the bears. we will have envelopes available to put money in, and bags available to group bears and $$ together, if you want to do that.
4. Tags: there will be tags available to sign and put on your bears.
