~Enid~(Taking a limited number of custom orders for Enid ~Visit my website for info)
Good morning everyone. I'm so sorry for my lack of posting this month! I've been so busy with the kids being in & out and working in the studio ....well.....there just isn't enough hours in the day it would seem. So sorry about that...I will try my best....to post more often.
Now..I would like to share my newest offerings with you.......First..let me introduce you all to "Enid"...OH MY GOODNESS...I LOVE HER!!! The name "Enid" means "Soul" or "Life"..I chose the name Enid..not having any idea what it meant....when I looked up the meaning ..that little voice of mine started talking...as it often does....AND....I've decided that the proceeds for "Enid" will be donated to The American Red Cross Relief Fund For Haiti.Oh geez.....well..I just went to make Enid's photo a link...and when I clicked on my website homepage...Enid & Barlow...were missing.....me being me...I thought....oh geez..what did I mess up...but...then an email came through with payment for them...... they had sold!!!.... :)...THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH Margaret!!!....goodness that's always a wonderful way to start the day!
Enid & Barlow will be traveling to Ohio to live :)!
~Barlow~
It took me a while to remember the basics of bearmaking....and these little guys are challenging to make!!! The larger bears are far easier...some of us were talking about that on facebook..often...people see smaller and think the price should be smaller...when in actuality...it's just the opposite! Barlow is made from antique mohair and wears..what is going to be.... my "trademark" thing for my mohair bears & animals. A handmade "token" with different little images! I thought they needed a little something just for them!!! :)
I also have a new little mouse available....
~Little Rato'n~
~Little Raton has sold ~ Thank you ever so much Karen!!! ~Little Raton will be moving to New Hampshire~
She's a little Valentine Mouse. Isn't she so sweet! She is holding her very first Valentine from her one true love :).
Wishing you all a wonderful day,
Doreen
ps...I have a new recipe to share.....hopefully I will find time to share it in the next day or so. :)
27 delightful friends dropped in for a visit:
Simply adorable!!! :) Wishing you the best in the new year~
Michelle

Doreen-Enid is wonderful-please make more...I was looking again at your side bar-the animals you make have this wonderful spark of personality-it goes beyond being cute even-they have a touch that makes them true art-couldn't be reproduced by any one but you-you give them that sweet realness-I don't know how to put it really-but gosh! Thanks for sharing your art with the world!!
~Debra
Thank you Deb..you ALWAYS make my day with your wonderful....wonderful comments..you truly humble me! And I definitely plan on making more Enids...she seems to be a popular gal :)
Hugs, Doreen
Hi Doreen Love your little bear also. Love all your new little critters, like they popped right off the page of a Beatrice Potter story! We are on the same page again...I've been working on a little valentine mouse just this morning! Looking forward to the new recipe. Have a wonderful weekend. Warm hugs ~ Jenn
Enid is amazing!!! You made her look so loved :)
Doreen,
What a wonderful way to start off the new year. I am so glad that your first thought went to helping these people in their time of need . Giving is always far more rewarding than any amount of money! As always your offerings have been reconized for the love you put into them . Mom
Hi Doreen!
That's a wonderful thing you're doing, giving to help those who so desparately need it.
Your creations are always so adorable.
Bless You, Audrey
Hi Doreen! :)
I adore your new offerings - especially little Enid. I hope you will be making more like her. She is soooo sweet. And I have to agree with you - smaller rarely means easier to make! Have a wonderful weekend...
Hugs,
Stephanie
Julie,

They are all so cute & you are blessed with such great talent!

I am in awe of your new creations! I almost gasped aloud when I saw the mouse! How precious! I love everything you make...and so does everyone else! Thanks for sending money to the Red Cross. That is so wonderful...and one of the reasons I love you and your special talent!
Such wonderful little animals!! I just adore them!:o)
Hi Doreen ,
I love them all but Enid is my favorite!!! i can't wait to see more!!
Julie
Well Doreen, these new little creatures are no surprise to me...all of your creations are simply amazing! And Enid is adorable!(:
Hello! I'm new here & LOVELOVELOVE the sheep I see in the photos ! I'm sure to stay here, love the music, it keeps me happy while looking & reading. Lynda ..... p.s. everything is gorgeous !
Oh Doreen...your little Elly and bear are just so adorable. Congrats on selling them so quickly along with your darling little mouse.
I have been making bears for years and it doesn't get any easier. Lots of hand work and detail.
Have fun snowshoeing!
Hugs, Nancy
Hi Doreen,
I love Enid, Barlow and the sweet mouse. You have been very busy.
I have found little time to blog lately with family and things, so it is good to come over for a visit.
I too have been thinking so much of the people from Haiti.
There has been a NZ lady that has lost her husband and two of her daughters there. She managed to save herself and one little daughter, so very sad.
Have a lovely weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
Hi Doreen. First and foremost, what a great idea to give proceeds to our friends in need, but for some reason your giving doesn't surprise me. What a generous heart! Maybe your idea will spark something in the blog world for everyone to do the same, wouldn't that be something? I love your new creations, they are just adorable. I have to tell you that your music is so soothing and beautiful. Sometimes I leave your blog up just so I can listen to the music! Have a great day my friend, Dawn
Oh goodness! If those arent the cutest little things I ever saw! And Enid is so adorable, I love her shaggy fur and sweet expression :)
I love the whole idea of the donations. I am going to be having surgery the first of next month but I want to put my order in for three of your great creations. I would love to have Enid, Barlow and the sheep with the blanket. Please email me and let me know what the charge would be. I am so excited to have your sweet creations looking back at me.

Doreen, you have been busy!!! Enid is absolutely delightful!!! I love her sweet face! Your work is just lovely, I am inspired to get back to my bears!!!
Thank you for always stopping by!
Hugs,
Margaret B
Oh my goodness, Doreen- I love them all! Miss Enid and Barlow are ADORABLE! But I have to say- Miss Raton is my favorite!! She has such a cute personality... and I love her little shawl! You've realy outdone yourself on these newest creations!
I love, love, love the elephant!
Hi Doreen,
Adorable elephant, bear and mouse ! And a wonderful gesture to donate to the Haitian people ! My dh and I gave to another organization to also help the people of Haiti.
Hugs,
Linda
Hi hon, just found your blog! I just had your website. I've now added you to my list of fave blogs on my blog and following you too so I don't miss a beat.
Brrr...20 below? And I was thinking of moving there? Hmm...may have to rethink that! Warm wishes - Jeannine
Adorable!! Your bear-making skills certainly never left you! I agree, the smaller items are often the most time consuming and tedious to create.
You've done a wonderful job...hope to see more soon! :)
