Hobbies for Sale--Teddy Bears Still a Time-Honored Favorite

Merry Christmas from my house to yours!

When I began making teddy bears eons ago, I wanted to create something old fashioned for my folks who would take them to doll and bear shows where they displayed their doll carriages and other Wilde creations for collectors. They wanted something that would fit in with their elegant designs, but that wouldn't break when they had to go from show to show. So I created my unique bears and they actually won Most Unique Bear for a pirate with a peg leg, Best...

Naughty Santa

The main character in this scene is Santa, of course. But notice the shocked expressions on the secondary characters' faces? As the supporting characters, they really add to Santa's characterization. If no one paid any attention to him, it wouldn't be half the fun.

I'm not sure why, but this reminded me of a Norman Rockwell painting. Maybe because of the couple standing with the Christmas packages, the boy on the bike with a scarf around his neck.

Hmm, everyone is dressed so warm, I wonder how ...

Tis the Season Sales Ploys

      Take note, merchandisers! I went to Best Buy to get one of the presents for my son that he had asked for. I should have stayed home. I was told that they'd been sold out of the game. I would have ordered it online, but didn't realize the coupon was good for online purchases. But when I went home, I discovered the pc game hasn't even hit the shelves yet, won't until March. argh. But ...

Pirate Santa?

Dressed in shorts, he reminds me of a pirate Santa. He's just missing his bag of loot. A comment was made by one of my co-workers: why does he have a belt and suspenders?

Who noticed the belt and suspenders???

It's the devilish look on his face, the come-hither kind of expression that heats up a snowy day.

Okay, if a pirate Santa won't do, he's one of my wolves. Yep, by day, a Santa, fewer clothes, easier to strip out of them and shift. With the moon shining brightly, he's a wolf. I know, I know...

Kitten Santa to Bring a Smile

First, while I was looking for hunky Santa types, I discovered this kitten in Santa hat. She's adorable, isn't she? Or he...in any event, I just had to include him/her because after all, she was listed as a hunky Santa. :)

At work I keep asking everyone are they ready for Christmas? Some smile and say, "Oh yes, I'm ready. Have the baking done, gifts bought, decorations up, just waiting for the day to come. And you?" I give a Grinch's smile back. "No." And we laugh.

Then there are those who...

Dealing with Holiday Stress???

At work, I keep asking everyone are they ready for Christmas? Some smile and say, "Oh yes, I'm ready. Have the baking done, gifts bought, decorations up, just waiting for the day to come. And you?" I give a Grinch's smile back. "No." And we laugh.Then there are those who say, "No, haven't done any shopping, not there yet." And I love them. "You?" they ask. ...

The Next Hunky Santa at the LA Mall

So this is the new LA Mall Hunky Santa. Would you have picked him for the winning number?
Well, he does have nice muscles. I still like the other guy's fur vest better. But if I quit looking at the fur, yeah, he'd do. :)
It's really good to see Santa looking so fit these days!
I think I'd like to see a little smile though.
What do you all think? Does he work as this year's Santa? :)
Have to catch up on word count today! Everyone have a fun, fun Saturday!!!

Sexy Santa Again???

Hmm, does the Santa make the picture, or the picture make the Santa?
Does he look familiar? In a previous example, his background was plain red.
What? You didn't notice the background?
See, that's my point. The background highlighted the hat and the red and white striped pajama bottoms. Or whatever it is he's barely wearing. But in this picture we hardly notice Santa.
Right? :) Dream on!
I do love the background picture though. And like with the other Santa in the winter wonderland, I'm sure I...
