Mail from Lucas' "new mother"

"Stine,

Lucas arrived here last Friday and has found his way to my kitchen window, where I spend hours cooking and washing dishes! He sits so nice next to a face carved from an avocado seed that my sister made (I gave one to Kield to giver to Kirsten, so you can stop over and see it sometime). The great thing is that he(I renamed him "Stine", so I think he is a she, but will continue to call it a "he") sits in a place I love and am constantly looking at, as beautiful birds land at the feeder behind the window. He looks real nice when the Eastern Blue Birds come to eat, their bright blue is beautiful next to his brown fur!

PS Kield said your newborns were too life-like. I totally agree with him! But they are very cute!"

New mini-teddies

I have finally finished 4 new mini-teddies. The one below is named "Nanok". Easter is coming up and our second eldest son, Jakob, and his wife and 3 children together with my mother are coming to stay for 4 days. They live in the area of Copenhagen which is 400 km and an expensive bridge away from here. It shall be nice having them around. Hopefully, the weather will be nice.

New reborn-dolls

I have just finished 2 new reborn-babies, "Olivia" and "Astrid". They are up for adoption on my reborn web-site. The dolls are painted with Genesis Heat Set paint.

I love making the dolls, but at the same time I feel that I should spend more time making teddy bears which I also love. Sometimes I feel that I should just stick to just one of the two things - but it is not possible for me for the time being.

However, I am working on my small bears and trying to improve my skills.

Hopefully I will be totally satisfied one day.
