Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

AWWW
Thanks for all your messages.

IVE GOT A FACE FULL OF SMILES...

My fingers are all healed now. 

All the advice here is well worth taking note of.

Because Pip is only 1 1/2 "

I found it a struggle to hold onto his tiny pieces, so i found using a long doll needle to help pin him down as i worked helped.

RENAE... I STILL THINK IT WAS LUCK HE TURNED OUT THE WAY HE DID

DAPHNE... BRILLIANT ADVICE 

I FOUND I REALLY LIKED THE FINER NEEDLES BEST...
HOWEVER I ENDED UP WITH ONLY A THIRTY EIGHT STAR... THEN I SLIPPED AND IT BROKE

I NOW ORDER THEM IN BATCHES OF TEN....

IM SO CLUMSY....AND EASILY DISTRACTED BY ANIMALS AND SMALL CHILDREN...

DILU,
THATS A FABULOUS CARD! SO ORIGINAL....
WELL DONE...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEDDY TALK :cake:  :hug:

Thank you everyone.... For your friendship inspiration and encouragement... YOU ARE ALL THE VERY     BEST...

Hi, thank you for posting me...

What a coincidence, I bet your so proud of her... She sounds just like my BETHANY

MY BETHANY IS ONLY SIX .... She loves to sit all her teddies and dolls in front of her and she pretends to be the teacher, with her blackboard.

I THINK IT TAKES SPECIAL PEOPLE WITH THE PATIENCE OF SAINTS TO TEACH GROUPS OF CHILDREN...

I know what you mean ABOUT MESSY GOOOEY STUFF...I love playing with their plasticine with them, we did real clay once errghhhhh never again....COLD DAMP AND HORRIBLE....

I LOVE SABRINAS ART... Its sooooo nice to have someone in the family doing the same kind of stuff... Shes full of encouragement for me and vise a versa...

I think thats why teddy talk works soooo well....

BIG BEAR HUGS

I really agree with everyone it is sooo important to pass our knowledge on ...
Or our gift will be lost forever... Imagine a world without beautiful handmade things... it would be tooooo sad

Im blessed my children love art...

My eldest Sabrina 24 is a full time english teacher and now a part time artist with a loving push from mum im sooooo proud of her this is some of her work.
   
They are aceo trading cards all hand painted...
I just love them.... She sells on ebay and ive just told her about bid4bears.

Jay my son whos nine loves to draw he work is soooooo detailed.

Bethany who is six, is constantly found in a pile of bits and pieces....LOL... Making gifts and cards, it is her obsession... I think she may want to make bears too one day....

I make a point of sitting down with them around the kitchen table at weekends...Making things at the moment we are making papermache bowls  Its such good fun.... The bestest way to bond i think

asww im soo sorry Jane i really feel your pain
THIS IS FOR YOU...

Holly & Her Mum

They say that freinds are hard to find...
But im blessed to say its not true,
Realisation dawned on that day...
When my eyes looked down on you,
Just a bundle of playful fluff,
With eyes that touched my soul,
I lost my heart that special day,
When i took sweet Holly into our home,
She repayed me with happy hours,
Of laughter, and loads of playful fun,
She made me feel so special,
I knew i was Holly's mum,
After endless years of loving
Ive memories to long to tell,
Holly left me with a unique gift,
One to precious for any words to tell.....

God bless Holly
God bless her mum

My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you Daphne,
WISHING AND HOPING FOR A GOOD OUTCOME...

FOR DAPHNE...

OUR PARENTS

AS SMALL CHILDREN,
THEY HOLD US TIGHTLY IN THEIR ARMS,
AND WHISPER GENTLE THOUGHTS,
THEIR ALWAYS THERE TO LOVE US,
THE WAY THEY WERE ALSO TAUGHT,
THEY WERE OUR INSPIRATION,
TO LIVE AND BREATHE AND GROW,
THEN ONE DAY WE BECOME THE CARER
LIFES STRANGE THAT WAY YOU KNOW,
ITS A NEVER ENDING CIRCLE,
BLESSED WITH THE GIFT OF LIFE WE GROW...

SOOOOO FUNNY

AWWWW WELL DONE 
ENJOY THAT FEELING
YOUR BEARS ARE ALL CUTE BYTHE WAY...

Hi Helen,

WHAT A MEAN TRICK...

All our commissioned bears are Bespoke items.
WHEN SOMEONE ORDERS ONE AS A COMISSIONED ITEM IT IS MADE ESPECIALLY FOR THEM.
MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THEY ARE ORDERING A BESPOKE ITEM
Then i think you are covered by a trading law that states they have a legally binding contract and they have to pay for the bear and cannot brake the contract by backing out.
Hope this helps.
