About me...
How it all began...I have always loved teddy bears and when I was collecting antique bears, a very special listing on eBay caught my eye..."Make your own antique style teddy bear"...I was intrigued! I bought the kit and waited patiently for it to arrive. Having NEVER picked up a needle and thread before, I was a little apprehensive. Poor little Tuck was my first attempt at sewing. He had an under-stuffed nose, exposed stitching, and loose little eyes...but I loved him to bits and I was hooked. Since Tuck was "born" I have spent almost every day designing and creating furry little critters, taking their photos and writing "Little Bear" stories for them. Well, actually... they write the stories themselves!

Marcharios the Magnificent and Quacker Jack
Short Story - Third Place Little bear was practicing his magic tricks on the front porch when a fluffy, white goose waddled up the stairs to greet him. "Salutations!" honked the goose..."My keen intuition tells me that you are a Magician, and I have come to apply for the position of your most studious assistant." Little bear gazed at the feathery bird with surprise. "My assistant?" he said rather puzzled. "Yes." the bird stated. "You posted a for hire sign down by the riverbank, so here I am." Little bear laughed."But a magician's assistant is a rabbit. You are a Goose." The bird immediately corrected little bear..."I am NOT a Goose, I am a DUCK, and my name is Quacker Jack" he said proudly. He then begun to strut around the porch pointing out his fine attributes..."I am white like a rabbit. I am fluffy like a rabbit. And I have long legs like a rabbit" he said. Little bear was holding back his urge to giggle at this goose that thinks he is a duck but wants to be a rabbit! "My apologies Sir Quack. But you do not have long ears like a rabbit. How am I supposed to pull you out of my top hat?" The determined goose thought for a moment, jumped head first into the hat and began wiggling his legs back and forth. Little bear could just make out the muffled words..."You can grab my feet!" It was the funniest thing he has ever seen. "You are hired!" little bear laughed..."You will be the best magician's rabbit-goose-duck assistant there ever was!" |
Best Friend Teddy Bear - Poetry - Fourth Place
You are my "Best Friend Teddy Bear". Forever you will be. You cheer me up when I am down, You're always there for me. You listen to my youthful dreams And wishes all day long. You spin my silly nonsense words Into poetic songs. With you I like to make believe And watch the clouds go by. There's simply nothing we can't do The limit is the sky. You never let me give up hope, You chase away my fears. I love you "Best Friend Teddy Bear" And will throughout the years. |
