2007 Calendar
I seem to have goofed up the last two months' meetings... December's announcement got saved as a draft and never actually published, and January's meeting snuck upon me so badly that I didn't get an announcement made.So I'll forestall some of that by announcing what we know about the 2007 schedule. All regular meetings will be at the Senior Center from 7 to 9pm, and will include the regular monthly Show'N'Share (bring bears and related items you've made or acquired) and Good Bears auction and other such monthly items. Guests are always welcome, even at "irregular" meetings, though you'll probably want to call or email someone to make sure of the time/place of the latter type.
February 6: Regular meeting. We'll be distributing the magnet-bear magnets (and patterns to those who are still without), having a raffle for the donated tEddie Bear, and then having a project time for working on bears or whatever else you need to finish up.
March 6: Baby shower for Angi (Ferran) Harlan. It's a boy, and the theme is western/farm. She's registered at Babies-R-Us and Target. (I believe the meeting location is still the Senior Center.)
April 3: "Ed's Heads" - Ed Spencer will be giving a whirlwind workshop on his "Attitude Bear" head. Meeting is at the regular time/location, but the workshop will occupy the full time slot.
May 8: Regular meeting. We'll be having our Magnet Bear Exchange - using a standard pattern and set of purse-snap magnets in place of arm/leg joints, we all should have made a bear by now (or at least a collection of bear parts, not necessarily all from the same fabric). We'll trade arms and legs around and everyone will take home a truly one-of-a-kind bear.
June 5: Annual Teddy Bear Picnic. Time and place TBD.
July - No meeting.
August 7: Regular meeting. Karen Cravens (hey, that's me) will be teaching traditional (wet) wool felting, either to make your own flat felt for pawpads, or to make felted hats and other items.
August 25: Not a meeting, but the Cessna Doll & Bear Show, at which we expect to have a booth again.
September 4: Regular meeting. Cottie Black and Lori Casey will demonstrate various techniques for making unique tags for your bears (or for Christmas gifts, or your luggage, or whatever else you might want a tag for).
October 2: Halloween party. Time and place TBD.
November 6: Regular meeting. We'll probably have an ornament-making demonstration, the exact nature of which hasn't been decided, though bear-head ornaments have been suggested.
December 4: Christmas party. Time and place TBD.
We'll also be having at least one workshop sometime in the fall, though the guest and date haven't been decided yet. (If you're a bear artist and you'd like to come give us a workshop, drop us a line with what you teach and what your fees are. And if you're an out-of-town bear artist and you'd like to come to a workshop, drop us a line with what you'd like to see taught.)
