Good afternoon everyone! Cy Bear calling in, with an update from the COLDHAMCUDDLIES shop (https://www.Etsy.com/Shop/COLDHAMCUDDLIES ).
It's been a couple of weeks since Isobel was last on here, and the time has gone by so fast that she's not been able to do all she wanted to do here. However, with a Craft Show on the horizon - this Sunday morning (November 16) at St. Barnabas Cathedral, Nottingham (taking place between 0900-1330) - she's managed to get some replacement Baby Koalas made - which also now look more like our other current Coldham Koalas - be they Big Koalas, Giant versions or Mens Slippers, versions.
This is the last of our original colour Baby Koalas still looking for a new home

Our new ones look like this:
They will be relisted later today, so the original Brown and White fellow will not be visible in our shop once these guys get put on. We're hoping he will find a new home on Sunday! He and his predecessors often do get new homes when they appear at Craft Shows.
Just because Isobel is incapable of making any of us look EXACTLY the same, even though she uses the same "ingredients" for each specimen, here are the four new recruits to the COLDHAMCUDDLIES world, taken from left to right in the preceding picture:
They do all have two eyes, despite the way they look in these snap-shots! We're still trying to find the best places in our new abode where we can take good photographs!
Koalas have not been the only things that have kept Isobel's fingers sewing since we last posted.
Instead of typing posts here - she's made two new Arm/Hand Puppets (in the form of Tigers). We promises to tell everyone about them as soon as she is able - after the Craft Sale on Sunday is a possible starting point! This one is made using the same fabric as used for our Tiger Head Golf Club Covers https://www.etsy.com/listing/168592299/golf-club-cover-tiger-head-animal-print?- whereas the other Tiger Puppet has been made with a tiger print fabric which results in a Tiger with a Siberian Tiger look!
Tommy Tiger is the prototype Puppet for a series of three, maybe four others, that Isobel has been asked to try and produce. One has been completed, posted and safely arrived at this destination. We'll be telling you all about him too. The order for the second one is awaiting payment, and the other definite one is still being discussed. The fourth one is still not a certainty!
Also, for the Sunday Craft Fair, Isobel found she was very short of Baby Bunny Rabbits. So, since last week-end, she's cut out, sewn up and now is stuffing and putting on the facial features to 8 more Fleece versions: two each of Pink, Blue, Purple and Brown, each with White Chests.
Think this explains the lack of action here! Hope so, anyway: will be back soon, I hope. All the best everyone - it's nice to be back here again once more.
Your Friend, Cy Bear
