Happy New Year

Happy 2020! Hope the year is off to a wonderful start. For me, it's time to make some to do lists and clean shop.

Hoping I get some quilting time in too, but for now, its a new year and time to do a little cleaning.

Lots of new items are being added to the shop this week and lots more have been moved to the clearance last chance section.

Prices have been reduced on lots of miniatures

and all remaining button packages have been reduced for final clearance, there are lots in the section, hope you get a chance to take a peek.

Happy New Year! 

Some of you have asked about new patterns so I just wanted to add a little update, unfortunately my hooks and yarn have been set aside for a little while due to some bothersome little aches and pains, but I hope to be picking them up again soon and sharing new patterns with you in 2016.

New Year's Resolutions

heart mittens, added to Etsy shop 1/5/12

What will this year bring? I'm hoping for a healthy, stress free year of course, but I'm also hoping I find time (and patience) to get some of the things I've been wanting to do done.

I fell in love with color work last year when I made a pair of owl mittens for my daughter. This year, I'm resolving to make time for color work. There are just so many great bags, pillows, hats and mittens that keep "calling" me. Maybe this is the year, they make it onto my needles. Oh, I can't forget about the patterns I still want to create and the spinning and dying I want to do and the house I'd like to keep clean, and the...well, you know there's always something.

Time...never seems to be enough and my fingers need to move faster.

Bears and Change

Hi bear lovers. I know your probably wondering where the heck are the bears. Well, there will always be a bear or two in the making here, but that little bear might have a different look or style these days. After sewing sewing bears almost every day for 13 years, it feels like it's time for a change. So for now my mohair and furs have been folded and put away. Of course, I'll be making bears every now and then, but it didn't seem fair to to keep the website up without any new cubs to meet, so bearsbyteri.com has closed and the new blog is up and running.

Here you'll be able to keep in touch, see what's in the making and meet new bears and critters with sweet faces. Right now, I'm working on new crochet patterns (the series currently has four sweet faced animals from my "Simply Cute" Series. There is a bear, a lamb, a lion and a pig to meet). I'm getting a chance to make new things and have been enjoying some simple pleasure like retro granny squares (just like my mom and grandmother used to make). When I find a little more time in the day, or week, I'm spinning, knitting or sewing.

I hope you'll check back often, follow me on Facebook and check back often to see what's new and in the making.

Resolutions

The end of 2010. I've been thinking about what resolutions I'd like to make. In the past my resolutions started out with a burst of enthusiasm, but were quickly forgotten. So quickly in fact, I don't remember them. This year, I'm determined to stick to something. I'm keeping it simple so I can get it done.

In 2011, I will:

blog more
stick to a bear making schedule
knit better
needle felt more
take time to doodle

There are many more things I'd like promise to commit to (how about cooking better and cleaning my house), but I'm keeping it simple and getting it done.

Happy New Year!
