Hi Nancy,

So glad to hear that Stephanie and baby are doing well.
Your new little man is such a  darling and you will be very proud.

Dear Nancy,

I am so sorry to hear of your Daughter and how very hard that it must be for your family.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time and hope that she will soon be feeling
much stronger and will be able to enjoy her darling new baby.

Hugs
Carolyn

Sue Ann and Daphne,  I am the same, I spend too much time on TT and would never get anything done if I was too join any more.

:)

I think so often they sound like a sick calf or lamb.
I have not actually inserted a growler in any of my Bears but if the sound was right
I probably would.

My daughter was given a Bear  with a growler in when she was a baby  and she wore it out so must have been a happy sound for her.

I enjoy Antiques Roadshow and it is fun to try and guess how much items are.
I especially enjoy it when there are old Steiff Bears which I love.
I also like old movies and comedies ( like a good laugh)  and I am not into scary movies.
I enjoy the news and at the moment we are in Election mode and we go to vote tomorrow
for a new Government/ Prime Minister so will be exciting to see who it will be.
Also the Simpsons, CSI and Law and Order.

I use a few tacking stitches at the back of the hat, to the head.

Carolyn

How very sweet Roxanne!

Shantell, so glad that your surgery went well and hope that you make a speedy recovery.
Well done for such a cute bear - and your first one made from mohair!
Chip is a very cute bear and looks like he has stolen the chocolate chip cookies.
How lucky for your Son if he  gets to be the proud owner of such a neat Bear.

Hi Chrissie,

I started making Bears when our daughter was born in 1989.I wanted to give our baby a special Bear
but felt that the mass produced Teddy Bears available on the market lacked  the life and personality
of a hand made one. the obvious answer was to make one and she still has it today a Bear dressed in
an old fashioned cream silk dress with a big cream bow in her hair. took me ages to make!
When our son was born in 1991 I made him a Bear in a navy blue and white sailor suit and  they both
love them and they will be heirloom bears and they can treasure them.

I have also have a love for sewing and used to make most of my clothes, did embroidery, cross stitch
knitting, hardanger millinery and I made porcelain dolls. I have a cabinet fulled with the dolls I have made.
I have a collection of Bears , the first was a Christmas present from my husband a Polish Bear made from
hessian and I have a steiff and a few others which I love.

Happy Collecting and we look forward to talking to you some more.

Very dapper and smart Lynn, love the costume - thanks for showing us the photo - well done.

Big congratulations Matilda - we will look forward  to seeing the photos whe you can post them.

The word skite means to boast or brag, Ladies - your English Australian/NZ down under lesson for today.
Do you not have that word over there?

Aren't the differences of the English language great.

I read an article with Johnny Depp in a TV guide  about - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

When told about the kiwi word for whining (to moan)  - whinging , Johnny's eyes light up as he responds,
"That's a good one. I'll write that down.

Hugs
Carolyn

Congratulations Lynn, that is wonderful news!  - please show us a photo of Robin Hood.

Carolyn

Shelli ... I do hope that you had a good nights sleep after all those videos -

Hi Julia,

I like your little Bear logo - ever so cute.
Also neat that you have used your Russian language as we need that cultural diversity.

Hugs
Carolyn

Hi Deb,

Just wishing you all the very best for you and your Mum and the rest of your Family.
It is just so hard when a loved one is not how they once were.
Also Janet and Marion I send my best wishes that you and your families can find the peace and
comfort that you are all needing at this time.

Hugs

To Garnet and Louise,

We were so sorry to hear that Louise was not well and our healing thoughts and love are with you both.
Get well soon and we look forward to you  joining us back at Teddy talk, when you feel better.

Goodness gracious me - I am glad that I live here in NZ where there are not any rattlesnakes - how
scary and tarantulas - nice little 8 legged critters - eek! Scary.

Scott - best of luck with your prediciment - I hope that a little overnight sleep in the freezer helped
and your Bears are free of the mites.

Carolyn

Welcome back Jossan!
Computers are such a drag when they are not working,  aren't they.
Good luck with the new flat and look forward to hearing from you again.

Hugs
Carolyn

Good luck with your eye operation Shantell, hope that it goes well for you.
And the new mohair Bear....  we are  looking forward to  seeing soon.

Hugs

Oh Daphne - the new puppy is so adorable and what a clever boy travelling all that way on his own.
A good Irish name would be Danny boy or Bailey after the  Irish Baileys tipple!
So glad to hear that your hand is getting better.
We look forward to hearing the name of "your new Puppy"!

Hug
Carolyn

Hi Jane,

Wishing you all the very best for your operation. We will all be thinking of you and hoping
for a very speedy recovery and that you will soon be back with us on Teddy Talk.
