Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Beth:
I agree it is definately a scam.  I would also report this to eBay and forward the email to them.  Anything that seems a little suspect usually is.   As you said it is best to complete all transactions through eBay.

Thanks for the update Nance, nice to hear your daughter is feeling a bit better.  We continue to keep you all in our thoughts.

Thank You!  It is nice to get feedback on my latest Teddy, especially from all of you talented ladies.

I would appreciate your opinions on Howie.  This is my 1st material Teddy from a new pattern I desgined.  It is a gift for my Mom created from my Late Father's Housecoat.  I will be posting it to my website to promote Teddies made from materials other than fur.

Here I am quite young with my first black teddy bear.  Unfortunately, I do not know what happened to Teddy.  It was in front of my grandparents house in Ontario, you can see them looking out the picture window.  This is one of my favourite pictures.

So sorry to hear about your daughter.  My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

Julia:
Love your Logo and what a beautiful artist you are.  I found the second pic easier to see and read.

Great Robin Hood Bear, Lynn!

I am a full-time bear maker! Ha!  It is easy to get distracted as you all said.  I love Teddy Talk it keeps me connected.  I try to only sign on once a day Ha!Ha!  I work on my bears four days during the week, try to fit in some time in the evenings and weekends and take my Mom and my husband's Mom out once each week.  Housework I find especially hard to fit in during the summer as there is work to do outside also.  Today is my bookkeeping day for both my husband's and my business.  Each month I plan on spending an hour a week to keep it up to date - and what happens a month goes by and I have a month's worth of bookeeping.

Louise - Glad to hear you are feeling better and hope each day you feel even better.
Shari - Take care of your calf and hope it is on the mend.

Shantell:
Glad to hear you are home and best wishes for a speedy recovery.  Adorable Bear.

I also do the nose, then eyes then ears.  I measure but eyeballing is my final decision for placement!

Here's another one for you.  The New Fuel Gauge.

Congratulations Matilda, looking forward to the pictures!

Congratulations Lynn can't wait to see Robin!

Daphne:
Adorable Puppy.  I like Riley also.

Good Luck and get well soon!

Garnet:
All my best wishes to Louise.

Love all the pets, pictures are always fun to see.  Here is a close up of one of my Koi, Doitsu, at feeding time.

Hi Shantell,
I work mainly with real fur and I also trim the seam allowances before sewing.  This does help as not much fur gets trapped in the seam.  It may seem time consuming but I think it saves time in the long run.

Hi Shantell:
Taffy is bearlicious!

Hi Julia & Judi:
Love your new bears, their faces are so expressive.  Mathilda is such an elegant Lady and Ohmar is a real little cutie.

Thank you for all your kind words, it means alot coming from you talented Ladies.

Karren, Love your bear, Love the colors, what a cutie.

Ladies:
I just was catching up on recent post and came across this one.   Love all your bears, they are all so adorable, so many amazing talents.  It never ceases to amaze me how everyone's bears are so different.  I think it is true that our personalities and soul show in our Teddies.
I just finished a custom order for a client from three of her vintage fur coat's so thought I would share it will you also.

Our thoughts and prayes go out to everyone effected by Katrina and the aftermath.
