desgins and must do

things i made and work i need to do
I need to prepare myself for my exam on friday on religon. I dont really like the teacher that teaches it, it really depends on who teaches your class to keep you interested. There were a couple of subjects that i didnt like but after meeting the teacher and seeing how he or she teaches it got me interested and looking forward to attending their class.
I sold my first mini anime on esty and i was so happy that people like him. I'm working on some more since i feel more confident now. I will be listing them on Ebay this weekend and set up my sellers account. I did promise a miniature needle felted chicke pattern but the chicke didnt trun out that nice so i didnt add him to the set. I will be adding a crochet one since thats what i 'm good at. I am also working on some new desgins like shaping for the animes minis head and limbs which are very improtant not only the face. If anyone has any tips on shaping please add your comments i will be very happy to hear them.
The one i made his name is Oscar he is only 2.8 inches small, He is made from punch threads and cotton as well. He sees the world through shiney black glass loop eyes. I like the way he turned out but i need to improve more like all artist we are always looking for perfection and uniqueness in our work. This can be stressful for me sometimes but the out come is very pleasing.
Here are some pics of my latetest work and the mini bear is Oscar. The Chicke pattern will be in another post so it wont be too long.

Feeling Much Better

Starting to create again.....
its been one week since I put Lucky to sleep and it has been very hard. I tried to post on my blog but i couldnt cause i was so sad i though it will make me feel better to let it all out with advice from my dad and some friends. I'm able to cope with the loss of my best friend day by day through writing and now i fineally got myslef together to create again. I'm naming my shop after my dog Lucky and its gonna be called Lucky Bears tm. I'm looking around for someone to help me with the banner if anyone can do that for me please contact me. I just finished a miniature anime bear he is very cute about 2.5 inches made from cream colour punch thread. He is 5 way jointed and comes with his own bear stand. He is my first mini anime that I will be selling on Etsy. I'm very happy about how he looks i just hope ppl will like him too. I worked very hard on him through out the last couple of months but never got around finishing him. He is a Valentine bear, i 'm needle felting him a special friend a little chickie bird.
I also do needle felting and i 'm also working on a anime that is needle felted. Needle felting is a lot of fun and very easy to learn and it is worked through a process of poking in to the wool and turning your work to get it hard but at the same time you are shaping it with your hands. Its like working with clay but with wool. the out come of your work is amazing. I'm gonna work on the chickie right now and take some pictures as i 'm doing them and then i will post them on my blog just in case anyone is interested in making one.
My li Anime Bear will be listed on
Etsy tonight my seller name is jennipoh and i just need to add some finishing touches.

Saying GoodBye To Lucky :(

Saying GoodBye To my friend
My Dog Lucky means the world to me i grew up with him when i 'm dad first brought him home to me at 11 yrs old.That summer i was very alone since my friends were picking on me i felt so sad noone to play with durning summer time when thats the time u should be going swimming with your friends and having sleep overs.
My dad told me to meet him in the back yard and while walking there i didnt know what is was for but i went hoping my dad brought me some kind a toy that i wanted but once the door flew open a little black and white dog came running at me, i was so happy i but at the same time i was scared after wanting a dog for so long i fineally got one. My Dad said Jenn u like him he's your friend give him a hug. My father told me he's been to 3 diffrent homes and his last owner didnt want him anymore due to where she was going.
He smelled really bad and had dry skin and flea and all the bad stuff but that didnt seem to brother me cause i couldnt see anything worng with him. I just knew i will love him for ever and i told him noone will will hurt you ever again and that i will never leave him. I kept that promise to the very day. Lucky is 15 yrs old now he lost his sight and his hearing was loss when i got him but time has age him. After spending the hoildays with him and my 2 other dogs BoBo,Micky, I knew as much as i didnt want him to go it was time to say good -bye.
Lucky has a appointment with the vet tommorrow and she will examine him and tell me what to do. I have in tears in my eyes as a i right this but the last 13 yrs was the best of my life. He was My Bestest friend, my dolly for dress up and a friend i told secrects to. this is the hardest thing to do is to say good bye to a friend you grew up with and shared all your secrects with he even knew when you were down.The kisses always made me feel better.
I'm trying to spend the last day with him i dont want the night to end but it will. So i 'm Saying good bye i love you so much!
