The view from here..

What a difference a day can make, lately I have had a wonderful view from our living room of a field full of marigolds! Not quite a pumpkin field but sure brings lots of colour at this chilly time of year. Right now I can't see a thing, thick fog is filling the air out there. I thought you'd enjoy some photos of the field and a few of the horses around here in the village, I can see the heavy Brabant horse from our living room which I love. I've started a new bear which I have been looking forward to making for a while. His mohair is just such a gorgeous cosy antique brown, I decided that this bear will be such a charmer that he needed a special lady friend so last night I started on a pretty girl in such a sweet pink soft mohair. I'm looking for some vintage accents for these two, so do come back soon :) Happpyyy Hallooooooween for tomorrow :) Beary Hugs, Catherine x

Horses and castles

It's been a busy week, working on our home and starting a new commission bear. We are painting our outside windows and doors a pretty cream colour, at the moment they are a dark varnished wood, I'll take some photos when it's all finished. In the meantime as promised here are some photos of the eventing we went to last weekend. It was set in the vast grounds of the lovely castle you can see in the photo. I used to have my own horse and went to lots of cross country competitions with him, as well as dressage and show jumping, happy days.

I'm also working on some new bear designs over the coming days so keep checking back :) Hugs, Catherine x
