Good evening everyone and Happy Halloween! We hope you all survive safely :)
Next weekend we'll be exhibiting at the Upland Made art and craft fair in Dumfries, we think we're the first teddy bear artists to take part, we're quite excited and the organisers are quite excited too, they've organised some great publicity which you can see here

We don't normally set up our stand in our living room this was a one-off .
We hope you like the article and maybe we'll see a few of you at the fair :)
(PS We're busy making new bears at the moment and we expect there'll be a few photos of our table towards the end of the show :) )

Among the many treats at the biggest ever Upland made arts and crafts weekend will be the chance to meet an amazing bunch of “wild” bears. Created by Barbara and Andy Cunningham at their home near…

Hello and Happy May the Fourth! We've been out in the glorious sunshine with the bears and eventually we got them to settle down and have their photos taken.
If you'd like to give a home to any of the bears please send us a message.
We'll be adding more photos in a moment, Facebook didn't like us trying to upload 14 photos at once.
Hope you're having a great day Barbara and Andy x 🧸🥰🧸
