All set up

Hello there, thanks for all the supportive comments on my previous post.

The new wireless keyboard/mouse combo has arrived and, already, has made such a difference.

Here's a photo of my new typing area setup which Rebel Bear offered to model...  

... a bit of a search to find something to keep the laptop at the correct height which a card box does just fine!

So, all's well here and I hope things are great at your place too.  Cheerio for now!

there's a bear in there

~ introducing DG Bear. He carries out a most important job in our home - we always know where the mobile phone is!

DG was born out of my Husband's very old, partly "threadbear", dressing gown when it was replaced with a newer, warmer model. 

He looks a little startled in this pic, I think the camera flash gave him a bit of a shock.  

~ this is Theodore.  I made him for my Sister and he's been with her for many years.  She sent this recent pic to show how he's doing. As you can see, he's a bit worn and his stitches are showing but he's a tough old bear.  Theodore still enjoys reading the paper every morning, however, he thinks his eyes aren't the best sometimes. My Sister just re-positions the glasses on his face and then he can see again.

~ I taught myself to make bears from various library books and had fun putting my "take" on the results.  It was during a fairly isolated time for us, far away from our family. My Husband was working and I needed something to do in between temping assignments. My bears made great presents for family and friends. They all seem to still hold pride of place in their various adoptive homes!
