Burrr....

Snow showers here yesterday. Is everyone ready for this??? I am not!!!!!

I seemed to have missed the spooky season. Where did the time go?? Too much gardening and trying to make this house a home. Sooooo, I'm moving on to the next sparkly season my doing one of my favorite things... I was thinking how fun it would be to make these little fellas for under my feather tree. I will be posting  my accomplishments here. Stay tuned....

A good batch....

Who can resist fall pumpkins??? I can spend hours looking thru piles of them. 

Burrr....

Just back from a very chilly walk. Two days ago it was sunny and 65.  Today it is sooooo windy, cloudy and spitting bits o' snow.  As long as there's not "feet" of snow, I guess that we can assume that spring will return soon. We have lots of hopeful spring bloomers tho. Hope it's lovely and green in your neck of the woods......

Happy Spring Everyone!!!

I hope that it is spring wherever you are..

Our winter was not as bad as some, but the arrival of spring is always a huge thing for me. This grass was a special little gift and I just love the whole package, from the sweet container to the wheat grass. I'm going to try it in my next smoothie!  Hoping that it's a lovely spring day at your house....

Spring has sprung !

Spring is slowly showing promise here in Minnesota...
That said, I have been working on a few springy items to help the season along...

Thinking of you all on this frigid Valentine's Day...

It' been oh so cold here, but then where HAS it been balmy??  I dream of digging my feet in the warm sand somewhere far from icy Minnesota. But then, we are lucky this year in that we do not have mountains of snow, nor predictions of 12" like those of you right now on the east coast. All you out there trying to see out your windows, I say, eat more chocolate, and maybe spring will come early... We can only hope. 

Wishing you all the very sweetest of days and nights with your special someone or someone's.....

And oh yes, this little girl is still available on Etsy!!

Hello out there.....

It's been awhile since my last post.. So busy watching all this weather stuff, from east to west coast... Wow, quite the winter, right??? 

But really, I have been working a lot here in my very messy studio.  Things are actually happening and now I'm burning the midnight oil in hopes of completing all  these partially finished ideas that have been rolling around iny head. 

BIG news here.  We will be moving ... No, not literally, but through the Internet from our present Murphy Bear website to a Murphy Bear site on Etsy!! You will have the opportunity to view our bears, felting, and vintage items with more photos, and an easier check out system. Fun, fun!!!!

For all of you on our email list, you will be receiving notices soon about our Valentine Update on Etsy. Check us out.. 

We're just getting started.

It's almost February, yeah!!!

Yesterday I spent the day dyeing lots of yummy colors to get me out of this January funkie mood. It worked, I think. 

I've been busy working on new patterns for a sweet Ted too. Anxious to get sewing now.
