<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC";"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As the end of Club Year 17 approaches and Club Year 18 starts on the 1st June 2016 have been reflecting on some of the past events. We had several ` Bear Camps` during the last 18 years and I thought you would enjoy one of the letters that the Binker`s sent home to their owners. Here it is below it gives you an idea of what they did while they were here. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC";">Dear Home, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC";">Sorry I haven’t
written sooner but Deb has been waiting for all the Binker`s to arrive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are almost all here now so, since it is
raining this morning, we are all sitting down to write letters home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Deb is helping with the spelling.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC";">Everyone is very
friendly here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC";">Over the weekend
we all settled in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Deb said we were
probably all a bit tired from our journey and all the excitement of coming on
such a long trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>None of us got lost
and one little bear came all the way from Australia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His Mum told him `not to get so excited that
he missed his stop`.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He talks with a
different accent to the rest of us, but he`s cool and has great jokes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He will keep calling everyone `Tucker`.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC";">I am in a dorm
with six other Binkers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A couple of them
snore really loudly and Deb says that we would not find it a problem `if` we
didn’t chat till all hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The secret
is to be the first one asleep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She says,
she learnt that at boarding school.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC";">We had to learn
a few drills for safety reasons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have
a `beach drill` for when we go swimming, a `boat drill` for when we go boating
and a `fire drill` for when we go firing!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC";">Lynne, Angela
and Deb are very nice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They aren`t
really strict at all but they do seem to suffer from stress when it comes to
worrying about us `Binkers`.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lynne said
we were giving her a headache the other day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It has rained a bit this week and when that happens we go into the
office to `help` them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Angela has been
packing up the new bears for the autumn and we have had a look and met them
all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The `Halloween` collection is
`cool` and we have all had a go at riding `Santa in Florida`s flamingo`.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have also been pulling each other round on
`Plum`s` sleigh but we got told off for that because we were going so fast and
turning such tight circles that `Binkers` were flying off in all
directions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Deb said it was becoming a
real challenge to get all us Binkers home without injury.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC";">We have gone to Venice Beach
a couple of days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a nice time to
visit since it isn’t really busy yet and we had plenty of room to run and
play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Deb had lots of beach games and we
played beach `cricket`, which is a variation of an English game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ball was a little bit too hard for most
the Binker`s so we got Deb`s dogs to retrieve the balls after we had hit
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>`Sweepy` is very good at bringing
the ball back for the bowler to throw again BUT `Daisy` and `Chopper` kept
running off with it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So in the end we
abandoned the game of cricket for `Chase the Dog`.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The dogs won.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC";">Last night we
were going to have<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a big Camp Fire
but it got rained out so we are hoping to have it tonight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The entertainment is being provided by all
the `Halloween `Bears.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>`Spells` says she
is going to make sure that she `frightens the living daylights out of
us!`.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Deb says, it’s a silly expression
and she always wondered what the `living daylights` were when she was
young.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyway, Charlie and Sam (Deb`s
sons) said they have some great ghost stories and Richard, Deb`s husband is
bound to find some way to get involved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I think Deb was just planning on us singing some camp fire songs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC";">The weather has
been quite wet this week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So for the
last couple of days we have indoor activities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This morning Deb made sure we all had a rain cape and insisted that we
were all going out for a `Treasure Hunt` since she couldn’t stand any more
squabbles in the house and we all needed some exercise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have been playing, `Snakes and Ladders`,
cards and Bingo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have also been
polishing up our individual poetry readings ready for a special show next
week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of the Binker`s are planning
on singing as well and one Binker is doing a piano recital except his stool has
broken but Deb says she can find him another one.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC";">We did discuss
doing a play but Deb says that last camp she had so much trouble trying to
organize a Camp play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being as there is
a shortage of girls at camp we have to call on all the girls in Deb`s line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apparently, the Dappled Dragons get hugely
out of control being such Prima Donna`s, so much so that Deb cancelled the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>last<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>event to avoid hurt feelings, not to mention a fight.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC";">Anyway, the sun
has come out so we are all going out on a boat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Charlie has a large tire and he can tow it behind the boat at great
speed with us clinging on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Have to hurry
before Deb finds out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC";">Much love Binker</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">May 30 and 31 2014 I will be attending a doll and teddy bear event in Albuquerque, New Mexico where I will be teaching a work shop to make the above `Baby Bunting`. She was a special project I did with my sister Jane Davies. Jane made the heads and I designed the body and outfit. She measure 3.5 inches and the head is porcelain. The cost of the workshop is $98.00 dollars.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have now completed my eBook and it is available for purchase and download from my webstore, just hit the `Buy Direct` button to get there.</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">This 95 page eBook
covers all aspects of miniature bear making. The book is directed at beginners
through to experienced bear makers and many of the techniques used in miniature
also apply to big bears and animals. There is a pattern for a 3.75 inch bear
which can be adapted to a cat or rabbit with the additional patterns in the
book. There is also a 1.4 inch (3.5cm) pattern for a tiny dollhouse sized bear
which is sewn mainly by machine. How to sew by machine and by hand are both
covered in this book. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"> Choices of fabrics and
the benefits of each are discussed in detail along with the available threads
and tools which are required. The idea of turning very small pieces deters many
people from trying miniature but with planning, the correct tools and the
various methods which are in the book it can easily be achieved. Also covered
in the instructions are nose embroidering, setting in eyes and mouths and face
finishing including needle sculpting and shaping. Stuffing, one of the most
important details of creating sewn toys is discussed in
depth,</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Having completed the
small animal there are some ideas for costuming and accessorizing and some
patterns to make dress, dungarees and pants. Pattern design is examined and the
shapes of my various head patterns which have been used to make all sorts of
animals from birds, to muzzled bears, to mice to rabbits are all shown. Also
discussed in the book are points of inspiration and where to find the ideas to
make fun pieces and how to progress on to other animals be they, monsters,
cloth dolls or Original bears. I have shared my method of planning design.
There is also a section on how to wire miniatures to give them that extra shape
and detail.</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Through out the book
you will find tips which I have learned over the years. My aim was to share
everything I have learned in the last 25 years with artists today and also with
people who just want to have fun making a miniature</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I will be attending the Hugglets `Winterbearfest` at Kensington Town Hall, London On Sunday 23rd February, 2014. Such a trip down memory lane for me since I lived around the corner in the late 70`s. I am really hoping to launch my new book (which might only be on a CD depending on printing costs) called `<u><b>Everything I know about Sewing Miniatures`. </b></u>The title says it all!</span></div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">These dolls are part of my `Gothic Prim Doll` range. They are each made by me, thus Originals and measure 7.5 inches. They are made from Osnaburg fabric and have swing legs and are weighted to allow them to sit. They all wear bloomers. I have a lot of fun making them, they are each one of a kind. I will be putting these five up on my website store today at noon under the category `Originals`. They are all $145 except for `Almira` who has a pink and white silk dress and lawn leggings</span>.</span></h2>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the Saturday night we had an <u><b>auction</b></u> which has become the highlight of the weekend. The majority of the pieces are Originals or my `Working Samples` I take to the factory to work from. I try to only sell `special` pieces like my very first `Cookie Cutter` pieces and my first `Prim Doll`. My first `Gothic Prim` went into the raffle. I also included my first large sized `Prim Dolls` including `Pumpkinella` who I had a hard time parting with.....but she went to a great home, as did all the pieces....which makes it so much easier!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All my other `First` Cookie Cutters went into the Raffle.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The prices for the pieces this year were really high and I was really `blown away` by some. Auctions are funny things, sometimes the prices go crazy high and other times you can pick up a real bargain....no bargains this auction! I think the prices show more about the collector`s than the artist. They were are a bunch of good people who wanted to show me their support as I change direction slightly. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have almost completed all the pieces for the <b><u>2013 Deb Canham Conventon </u></b>to be held 18,19 & 20th October. The theme this year is `<b><u>Circus Parade` </u></b>and it is all done but for the `wheels` which should be arriving in the next 10 days. I wanted to release the information on the event at the same time as I send out the last `Doodle` of the Club Year. Thus, it is causing a slight delay in the shipping of the Newsletter. Sorry about that. Deb</span><br />

I did question whether to make the<span style="font-size: small;">m pins but I<span style="font-size: small;"> think they are a little large. I have a love of simplicity in design and the old <span style="font-size: small;">Primm pieces have always </span></span></span></span></span> </span></span></span> `<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">called` to me and it is from them that I took my inspiration. Perhaps the only thing to add is that I really had fun making them. There are still a few pieces to finish including a rabbit. Many might wonder why I did a Gothic Primm style doll.....I challenged myself and did it for fun!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am running a workshop at the Idex show to be held Friday afternoon. The students will be receiving a bear which is sewn, stuffed and just about fully assembled but for the ears and head. Their role is to attach the eyes, embroider the nose, sew on the ears and head and then have fun decorating the bear. I chose to spell out `Create` with his little blocks but everyone can chose their own word. He is 4 inches and is a pin. The students have four hours to complete the class but realistically it should not take that long.......but we do get chatting and time seems to fly by. </span></div>

This is the bestest ever camp. I am having so<br />
much fun. We have had adventures everyday.<br />
Monday we went to Myakka Park which was full of wildlife. We had a list of what animals, reptiles and birds we might expect to see and we had to tick them off as we found them. If we saw one that was not on the list we had to write it down. We saw snakes, spiders, lizards, turtles, pigs, bobcats and the biggest meanest looking alligator in the whole world, it was at least 20 foot long….Deb said I<br />
exaggerate a little!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />
There is a big murky river that flows through the area and there were lots of gators and turtles and beautiful old trees hanging over the river bank. At the end of the day there was a prize for the bear that spotted the most animals. A couple of them listed a whole load of animals that nobody else saw including a saber tooth tiger,dinosaur, penguin and a hippopotamus. Deb said she was surprised no one else spotted the pink elephant...I know I didn`t.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Tuesday we went down to Boca Grande and went out in kayaks through all the mangroves. It was a lovely day but a little hot but we got to see some dolphin and some manatee. A couple of lazy bears fell behind the group but someone shouted shark and they soon caught up and in fact, overtook us all and Deb had to chase after them.<br />
<br />
Wednesday we went out on Venice Beach dressed as pirates and went searching for buried treasure. Deb gave us all shovels and we dug and dug. There was a small problem with bears digging under people sunbathing in deckchairs and showering them in sand.<br />
<br />
Deb said to keep away from the grown ups because the treasure was no where near them. At the end of the morning, one of the bears was missing. We had to go off in pairs and search the beach and Deb was really panicking. We found him asleep and half buried in one of the holes that we had dug! Deb said It should not have happened because we are suppose to be `buddied` up all the time. `His` buddy is a really nice chap but he is forgetful and had forgotten that he had left him sleeping.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />
We have bears from America, England, Scotland and the Netherlands so I am learning lots about other countries but sometimes I do have a bit of trouble with the accents. Binker Warner came from Scotland and he brought his bagpipes, a mini car and a bottle of drink which Deb confiscated. His bagpipes sound really haunting and Deb loves them but she has banned him from playing them first thing in the morning because<br />
they make Richard, Deb`s husband , shout….he does not like mornings, we all stay out of his way.<br />
<br />
We had a tennis tournament the other day but it all got a bit out of hand. We only had one court and two racquets and that meant that 28 of us had to stand and watch. Sometimes it got a bit boring, especially when the bears kept missing the ball. So Deb tried to include us all and one of us umpired, we had 8 linesbears and then the rest were all ball bears. Trouble was everyone kept getting in the way. The linesman could not see the lines for ball bears and the players kept complaining that they would have got to the ball and hit a winner if the ball bear had not been in the way. On of the players hit one bear in the head with the racquet andthat caused a fight and Deb called an end to the event and sent everyone to their own little space to<br />
think about their behavior. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />
We have been doing a lot of swimming and working towards out Lifesaving certificates. We have had some General Knowledge quizzes and play Bingo. Some of the bears brought some fun board games and we get to play on Clayton`s X Box in the evenings when he is asleep. We have also been working on our music skills, drums, cymbals...nothing quiet!!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />
Binker Plovich had a really exciting trip coming to camp. His Mum sent him directly to camp from Illinois and he managed to go to New Orleans.Deb keeps asking him what he did there but hejust says `what happens in New Orleans, stays in New Orleans`. Deb says he is a `cheeky monkey`.He has told us all about it…….wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am really hoping I get mis-routed there on the way home. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />
Deb says we cannot stay outside all the time because it is a little too hot so we have some indoor activities. We are doing painting today and we have to be very careful not to get it on our fur. The activity with glue the other day was a disaster and some bears were actually glued together…. We have pottery tomorrow and I cannot imagine how messy that might get.<br />
<br />
<br />
The food here is really good. We eat a lot of honey and for a treat the other day Deb brought us<br />
some German rapeseed honey….you have to get some, its ever so expensive and I so prefer it to the type we have at home. If you are shopping, I would really like a big drum set because I am now really proficient on the drums and play them whenever I can.<br />
<br />
<br />
We have all been very helpful to Deb. The other day her cat got stuck up a tree…..its an old cat<br />
and it had never climbed a tree before but two stray dogs came into the yard and chased her up. We had to help Deb carry the ladder all the way from the garage to the tree. We helped her put it up but she decided it was a job for Richard. When he got home we went to show him where the cat was in the tree and……………..it wasn`t there any more!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />
One of the things Deb says we have to work on is`the concept of sharing`. Of course, it is not a problem when I get home!! Everything there is mine!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />
On Sunday we are going to have an Easter Egg Hunt. A number of the bears are allergic to Chocolate and some get sick when they eat it. I heard Deb tell Richard that it will not be a problem if they get Clayton to hide the eggs because nobody will find them anyway.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />
Well, I have to go now because we are all going four wheeling with Sam and Clayton. Deb had a terrible time trying to find crash helmets for us all but as one Binker pointed out it was not really a problem because our heads are full us stuffing. The goggles were an issue too.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />
Oh...I forgot to tell you. While I was here I made friends with another bear I met flying on a<br />
Hummingbird in Deb`s garden. I have invited them to come and live with us, I know you will love<br />
her. She is very sweet and the Hummingbird is great because he takes us on flights and I now have my own taxi service. Now you will never be able to find me!!! The only thing is that she and the Hummingbird only eat the really expensive Honey….sorry about that…perhaps I could cut down on ice cream a little to help towards the cost.</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well, I have had a lovely time here and there are still some more events to enjoy including a huge</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> farewell party Wednesday night. Deb said to tell you that I will be leaving on Thursday…..here`s</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> hoping its via New Orleans. Cannot wait to see you. Love to everyone at home. You are the best.</span><br />

Well the tennis tournament did not go as well as planned. I guess it just got too competitive. I think part of the problem was trying to keep everyone busy. We only had two tennis racquets and one court which meant there were a lot of them not totally `involved`. The players kept complaining that the 27 ball bears kept getting in their way and the umpire complained he could not see if the ball was in or out because the ball bears were blocking his view. Then the players complained that they would have got to the ball but were impeded by the ball bears. Result....event abandoned.</div>

Today we are going for a `chill` day. Lots of sunbathing. I might try something academic later; get their brains working, a general knowledge quiz.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Pictured is Binker Plovich. He brought all his toys to camp and is happy to share. He also has a story to tell. He did not come directly to camp. He took himself off to New Orleans and arrived late at camp !!!! He keeps saying `what happens in New Orleans stays in New Orleans!`</span>Deb Canhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14098668279296495088noreply@blogger.com0
