Just in Time for Christmas!!

My Jaay Bears are available for purchase. If interested or if you have any questions, you can email me at LegzToyz@gmail.com , leave a comment here, or the fastest way is to leave me a private message via my facebook page. 

Hats and scarves were handmade by my daughter, Elle ♥ 

Do you know of a child in hospital or with serious illness that could use a surprise gift of one of my stuffies?? I would like to give back this Christmas by sending out a few pkgs to children in need of a serious bear hug *wink  You can contact me the same as above with info on the child you'd like to see receive a gift like this from a Secret Santa. 

Jaay Bear in fur, 1st sample.

Here is the 1st Jaay Bear using the low pile faux fur. This is the Camel color. A little tweaking left here and there but over all I am super pleased with how Jaay Bear turned out. Imagine a Christmas color toque and scarf, and that is how you can order your Jaay Bear . There will be a limited number available in the four colors.

I will be making pajamas once I have these completed, My nurse gave me a blast yesterday when she saw how swollen my feet were.  She ordered me to stretch out with my foot elevated if I wanted to it to heal in a reasonable amount of time. Sooo, like it or not I am listening to her, with my daughter making sure I do lol.

I'll keep you up to date. I can't use my sewing machine right now. It helps if you can feel your foot when it's on the pedal lol.

Hope you like Jaay! If you have any suggestions, or spot something amiss, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Another 3am reveal ;)
Quilting is a big deal right now in the sewing world. Once upon a time you went to a fabric store and purchased material you saw and touched, by the foot/yard. Today, material is sold by the Fat Quarter(Picture a square cut in 4).If you went to ebay right now and searched for 'fat quarter', you'd probably find something like this....
                                                             
 This is called a Fat Quarter Bundle. You see the 2 fabrics on top are what I used to make the above sample. I bought this by winning the bid for approx $10 shipping included.  Since I bid and won on this, I've learned a great deal about the 'game'. This wasn't that great of a deal after all, but I don't regret the purchase, I definitely didn't overpay. So, I guess that's something :)
The next week or so I'll be playing with patterns in search of 3or4 pajama options for my Christmas Line. I'll be using flannel/flannelette unless you want a custom order using other fabric types. My Jaay Bears in these 4 colors; Camel, Black, White, Brown.

My daughter messaged me from work all excited to tell me her boss let her have a whole stack of these boxes. The perfect size for a JaayBear wearing a Christmas toque (hat) and scarf, AND a matching hat in 'human' size ;)  Also, the next size up just in case you want to order two bears! The cost to ship these will be extremely minimal, which is majorly impressive given the outrageous shipping costs today.  

Okay, it's almost 4am Why does my brain get all creative in the middle of the night, It doesn't matter what I'm doing, blogging, writing....sewing..... *yawn.

Until next time,

         Play Nice & Be Safe!
