 ​​​​🐻 BEAR NEWS 🐻

Not much to report on the bear front. 
Colorado has been hot (actually, "on fire" is more accurate for some of our neighboring counties).
I've spent my summer so far getting a whole lot of nothing done, aside from clearing out a lot of clutter from our house and trying to keep my trees alive in this convection-oven-of-a-state.

I'm starting a new bear this weekend. I was thinking I'd start with a cream or beige bear. Then a mini bear of some sort. Resident shelf-warmer Pugsley is now dressed as a Pumpkin in honor of summerween. We mugged another bear for the pumpkin costume (crime is always higher when temps increase--Bart should've seen it coming). 

Anyway, I'm sewing bears starting this weekend, so there's a chance I could have a few bears ready before my classes start back in late August. 

You're welcome to check back here for bear updates. I'm mostly done with Facebook and Instagram. Mostly.
You're always welcome to email me at   thepeachpeddler@gmail.com
Don't worry if you don't hear back from me right away... especially while I'm dramatically fake-dying from the heat. 

​As usual: I hope that you're all staying safe out there, and looking out for each other... filming and documenting anything untoward.

And while I'm bossing everyone around: Please support your local libraries and universities. Check in on your neighbors, make sure they're ok. Even if you can only do a little, do something.

"It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule."
