Still lots happening

Hi Everyone

I hope you managed to drop in to the last online show, my wee bears just flew out the door as it were as I sold more than half of the show bears along with a few others that were awaiting adoption!

There is another show coming up which I was very lucky to get in to so another 10 new bears will be unveiled in a few weeks!

Remember to keep checking in on my facebook page, you can always see what's new there and I like to post a few teaser pics for the show to keep you guessing.

More news on the upcoming book.  It will be available for sale in the US from April next year.  I'm guessing that will be a worldwide release so I can sell them online anywhere else in the world after that too.  We also have book 2 under way!

Watch this space! ;)

Happy New Year!

Hi everyone!
 
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year!  There's been a lot of happenings here at Little Handfuls, I'm still working on my book as you can see by the sample cover photo below.  It's almost done and will be at the publishers by March this year.  There are some great new projects in there to get people from beginner to bear artist!
 
 


Our puppies are a year old now, they are so much fun and devoted little souls.  They have made our family so much brighter after the awful year we had before they arrived.  Teddy is a chunky little bear and Lottie is her passive aggressive lil sister.


I've got two kids at college this year, quite a shocking development for me.  Wasn't ready for my little girl to start this year.  Choosing a college was excruciating and emotional, glad we got it all sorted.

Hubby is struggling with shift work, his office started putting them on shifts a few months ago and it's been a huge adaption for us all.  Not fun and no idea how long we can handle it!

My day job is a bit of a mess, but having some regular pocket money is helpful, especially when those school fees come in!

I hope you all have got great plans for this year, I hope to start and finish my second book this year and attend some more great shows throughout New Zealand.  I would love to do some outside of the country too, we will just have to see how we go!





Keep coming by and checking out the facebook page www.facebook.com/LittleHandfuls  I regularly update that one, not so flash at coming back to the blog I'm afraid!

Much love and best wishes to all

Liza

We're Still Here!

It's been a rough 6 mths for Little Handfuls and all who sail in her!  My family and I have had a few ups and downs, we had hoped this year would be better but the start hasn't been so great!

We are plodding on though, and I've finally started creating again!  I've made some lovely new bears, not nearly enough for the upcoming shows but we'll get there!

I don't post on here nearly enough so if you want to see more or be kept up to date better do pop over to my facebook page:

Also, there has been an imposter who has taken the Little Handfuls name that I've created and developed over the past 10 years!  Yup this year is our 10th anniversary.  This person is in the UK so hopefully things won't get too confusing although I do get a lot of his emails as people google Little Handfuls and get me, of course!!  I tried to reason with him before his page went live etc but he wouldn't budge, said I hadn't been around when he checked out the name, yeah right!! So if you come across a strange page with scary looking critters on it that doesn't look familiar, then you are probably on his page and not mine, so...run away as fast as you can!  They seriously freak me out those critters!

I just love my customers, I get so much love and support.  I have people who even write and tell me if someone is copying my work, along with those who continue to buy and compliment my bears and friends.  You are all awesome and I appreciate you all so much!  I don't think I'd be back if it weren't for you!

So here are a few little recent works, hope you will keep dropping by and feel free to write anytime!

Bear hugs

Liza
