Hello from Colorado!

New Avenue Crew has moved to the beautiful state of Colorado. Debora and her husband Garth are enjoying the mountains and the four seasons, as well as having family nearby and making some great friends through their new church. Garth says he doesn't want to live anywhere else!

Debora was hoping to come out of hibernation earlier this year, but she has a lot of work to do before new Crew members are available for adoption, and she's finding that there is very little time to work on them. She still works full-time as a proofreader, so spare moments for sewing are very few. She received some great encouragement from others earlier in the year, and she was so eager to be able to present her bears to you, so she's sad that she has been unable to create new Crew members! But please come back to visit; Debora hopes someday to be making bears again. She still has her stash of fur and fluff! Let Debora know you've been here by sending an e-mail to hoffhouse at hotmail dot com (just put it into the proper e-mail address format).

Oh, and enjoy the block party!
