What Bob had been up to....
Look what Bob made me for my birthday!! I call it a "bear case" cause it will never be used to hold books LOL!It's solid oak with a natural finish to bring out the beauty of the natural color of the wood. If you want to see a larger version, just click on the picture.
I had been wanting a case in this spot for a while. I walk by here all the time and I love to look at my furry friends as I walk by.

Merry Christmas!
Well, as you can see, it's been a long time since I've updated this page! I update my Teddies by Laura Lynn Blog more often than this one, (even with family news) but I hope to be better at updating both ;)
Here are some very quick updates....
Sequoya (also known as Squirt) has joined our household. Sequoya is an adorable 4 pound Chihuahua from Chihuahua Rescue USA. She was 1 year old when she came to our house.
Our friends across the street who had the house fire have moved back in several weeks ago!
We spent most of the summer at The Bristol Renaissance Faire. And Laura is WAY behind on uploading photos taken there this past summer....
We went to the NASCAR race in "Chicago" this year (Joliet)
Bob and friends went to Ohio for a diecast model open house.
Bob of course has been working on LOTS of models.
Laura's best bear artist friend Daphne flew in during October so they could both drive to Kohler, WI to participate in the Kohler Doll & Teddy Bear Show.
Laura & Daphne decided to produce a bear show in Schaumburg starting fall of 2009 - The Chicagoland Teddy Bear Show.
ABC Unlimited Productions had produced artist teddy bear shows in Schaumburg for over 20 years and had decided to retire. We waited a couple of months to see if anyone would pick up the show... when it wasn't, we decided to do it. Chicago just can NOT be without an ALL teddy bear show! It's been a LOT of work already... and lots more to come.
The deck was finished! I'll have to see if I have the final photos. I finally convinced Bob to put latticework around the bottom of the deck. It was a pia, but it looks wonderful! Also I'm hoping that we don't have momma bunnies thinking that under our deck is an ideal place to raise baby bunnies.... Pandora caught quite a few of those this past spring....
Isis our "miracle puppy" is still doing GREAT!
Well, that's it for now. I need to get crackin' on making bears! Hope to post again soon! :)

Rain & Warm Temps brings Flooding....
Fortunately, the house is dry, but the shop got some flooding. Sunday morning and afternoon was spent getting rid of all that water. Fortunately it wasn't very deep. We still have a LOT of ice all over and lots of snow too which is pushing the water into the shop as it has no where else to go.
Bob was out there today on his hands and knees chopping channels into the ice so the water has a place to escape... away from the shop. At this moment he's got a pump to try to move the water out into the yard. This winter really stinks... for more reasons than the weather....

A Little About Bob
Bob has many interests! Links to his hobbies and websites are listed below. Many of these interests are shared with Laura.There is always the fish! He favors African cichlids the most. At one time there were 25 aquariums in the house! Now it's down to 1 at the house, and 1 at his office.
He was once VERY involved with a Chicago area cichlid club - Greater Chicago Cichlid Association. He's stepped back quite a bit in order to make more time for new interests.
And as many of you know... he just LOVES to do woodworking! Bob is a person who needs to stay very busy! Once you understand that... you'll understand how he is able to work full time, yet build so many wonderful pieces of furniture for Laura. You can find a link to his projects at the end of this post!
A new interest of Bob's is collecting diecast cranes (1/50th scale). He not only collects them, but he has also been painting and customizing them for collectors all over the world now! More about that down below too!
A recent passion for both Bob and Laura has been to go to the Bristol Renaissance Faire. You can see lots more about this (and photos) on the home page.
This year at the Renaissance Faire there was a new show - Adam Crack! He's an incredible whip cracker and holds 4 world records for whip cracking. You can see a video of him in my original post on the main page: http://bob-n-laura.blogspot.com/2008/07/adam-crack-one-of-our-new-favorite.html
And so... Bob became infatuated with whip cracking! He has one whip already, purchased from and made by Adam. He's got another on order from Adam, and.... now he has a new fun thing to surf for on eBay!!!
