Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Here is a drawing. the far left is the muzzle with the dashed line beine where you would cut the pattern piece
the middle is your side head pattern and the dashed line is where you would cut it (one for the left and one for the right )
The last part is the pattern taped together showing the two side pieces (1 & 2) and the muzzle piece (3) Note that the arrows show that the side pieces are sewn to meet in the center of the muzzle piece
Hope this helps

I have used a black permanent marker and after you cut the shape, use the marker to color the EDGES only. It looks great!

Shelli has written a wonderful photography guide on the Bearsnbuds website. Here is the link to the article. It is very helpful

I agree with the majority Shantell. I do that all the time. I figure if a customer likes my bears well enough to buy a second one, there WILL be a 3rd and 4th etc. So I am very accomidateing to them.I have some customers that I send them the bear even before thier payment has been made. They are THAT loyal.

Daphne, there really isn't a limit, but the recommended thickness is approx 1/4 inch . I have made some thicker though

My mothers day was rather quiet. My boyfriend had to move back to Seattle and left friday. Went and got my dad to go to the cemetery. This is the first mothers day since my mom passed. My daughter and one son called and am waiting to hear from the second son. Puppies let me take a long nap this afternoon and that was something I haven't done in a long time.

you are very welcome

I do my own website, so maybe I can help. Actually it doesn't look like you really need my help per say as to how to add, becAUSE YOU HAVE SOMEONE ELSE DO IT. bUT IN ORDER FOR THEM TO DO IT, YOU NEED TO
give the person who is doing your site the following information
I will use my website as an example
1.  name of the artist  (Sonya Shaw)
2. the website name (Sunnie Bears)
3. the url to the site  (http://sunniebears.com)
With that information he/she can easily make links to the sites
Of course you need to also ask him to give you the same information for your site so you can give it to others so they can link to you also. If you wanted to do links with banners, it is a little harder, so it is best to start with text first

Me too Daphne.. Sonya Shaw @ http://sunniebears.com

I am adding you right now

Judi, I would think that it would be a spoof email that they used to send the second chance. These people are experts at making a template that looks to the unknowing eye as an original from ebay. They don't need your password to send these emails. As a matter of fact, they don't WANT your password. They want the person they are sending it to, to respond to THEM, not you. They would prefer you didn't know at all. Good for her for sending it to you. I certainly would offer her a discount if she ever wants one of your bears!
Sonya

Brenda, you are not stupid. Sometimes it just takes a little nudge from someone to get you brain kick started.. lol wink

If you have a photo editting program, it should give you the option to open it in the photo program and select "save as" and select jpeg or jpg as the type.

Judi.. you are so funny!!  ok.. you can make a tiger, but you have to have your hands tied behind your back lol

Aleta, Kellie is great to work with. If you want her to do the ad, you need to send her
1 your contact info
2 a picture of a bear or whatever you would like to be in your ad
3 any special wording you would like
They always send whatever they come up with to you for approval prior to the ad getting printed.
It is best to call her at her 800 number. She is very helpful
