Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

i love it!! my husband and i spent a week painting Beatrix Potter on the first grandaughters room!  and i practised in some areas of my house and a mouse hole is very hard to do unless you know what youre doing!! care to share any tips?  cant wait to see the rest!  deb

oooh me too! i love her  work! lucky you!  deb

i just saw Maggie when i opened my weekly specials email!  she is sooo cute! Im sure skye and snickers would love a romp in the mohair with her and all the other new tt pups! you are right about the disease sweeping the bear world Denise.. it is contagious! beware opening threads and pic's that say anything like "see our new baby: unless you want one!! who couldnt love all these adorable new faces?! deb

very sweet boys!   :clap: eb

Skye looks like a bottle brush with a nose and eyes! she is 12 lbs now and im hoping she doesnt get any bigger than 15 or so..i had a hard time getting used to the longer body..she counter balanced very easily when you scoop her up! will wait for pictures!  deb

Daphne I cant remember her name and i have only two dogs! never know which one im  calling! and Sandi Skye loves her aunt Sandi who was sooo nice to her!
she got cookies and kisses at the flea market! came home with a swelled head! but she missed her big brother Snickers terribly and hes been chewed on jumped on and snuggled to death!  she just came in from the kennel ( daddy's mowing) with four bright green feet! where is that ocean when you need it?!
deb  ps any recent pictures of Maisie? i was asked about the differnec in scotties and westies and wasnt really sure? size? pigmentation?

Didnt get a chance to talk much or say goodbye! but thanks for a well run show Daphne and a cute "treats " bag too! There were some lovely bears and other critters there! so many bears i want so little money! :crackup:  was great to see everyone! hey you girls should make Sandi show you her bear in CURLERS!!!!
what a sweetie getting ready for her big debute!!  deb

im sure she'll get over it ! shes a happy little dog! i spent a fortune at the flea market but got some cool stuff including 2 stieff bears and a stieff poodle!
Phil and Lynn deserve all the happy beach days they can get and i will only be a little bit jealous!  deb

I adore that photo of Phil and Lynn! wha a great shot!! and thats SKYE in my arms daph!!  :crackup:  :crackup: deb

I love it i was laughing so hard i was crying! the last thing i read that funny was excerpts from employees at quantas airlines!  oh i needed that! 25 is my favorite!  deb :crackup:  :crackup:

Daphne I am so sorry you got hurt! that sounds terrifying! remember seeing my grandmother do that when i was younger,,always remembered it!  having said that,,,you are SO going to get that first aid kit back!!! deb

Maise is quite the cutie! i have been wondering about this topic myself..we have a harness on skye,,and i can see the signs already..she walks well until she wants something,,and then bounces and pulls like crazy! we thought about a gentle leader and wonder about the rolling and biting,,,,anyone else want to say what they use on their westies or scotties or Cairns? or isi t an age thing? how old is Maise?
i tell ya..i adore my springer but i love the westie breed!  deb

i was so excited to see this post!  we have been talking about the singers and getting a back up,,but i was getting confused by ebay and
the vast difference in models and prices!!! i have a singer 301 that i adore!! couldnt sew on those plastic thingys,,ugh! so we found a
retired gentleman who used to work for singer and still sold and repaired them,,he said they are called singer "lightweights"  it is slant needle
and has a longer fabric platform..came i a case and was very reasonable.  they sold one on ebay last week for $300!! im stunned!  deb

thank you all!  shes been a dream for a new puupy! she is out dragging the "big dogs" bones and toys around. boy is she strong!! whole leather shoes walk by us!  :crackup: deb

we've been calling her puppy for so long that its going to be hard to get her to respond to sky..first i need to train my husband...
they certainly are smart! (westies)  okay and husbands ..after all he did decide that it was a good idea to buy her! deb

to all of you who "met" our new West Highland Terrier that we adopted while on vacation..she finally has a name!  its Sky! and i added a new picture..shes getting along with Snickers my springer REALLY well!

Connie the bears are stunning and im IN LOVE with all 3,,but let me also say the PICTURES are amazing!! great photography! ive been wanting to tweak one of my smaller patterns and make the same type of bear larger because i love that antique look..im inspired!  deb

i have a palm tx and i love it! same reasons as sandra..syncs with outlook..can have my keyboard..but i cant read on the thing! i just use the available wifi when i travel..same as the laptop. but much less weight! deb
