Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Thanks everyone!

Certainly is Denise.  I hope you are well!

Hi Everyone

I am having a give-away really to announce my return to making bears again.  There was no real time to devote to bear making in the last 5 years as I was working, looking after 3 teenagers, a couple of dogs and cats and my husband of course.  Now after a health scare in the last 12 months I am back to doing what I love - making bears!

If you would like a chance to win my little red Teddy - pop over to my Facebook page - www.facebook.com/Megelles - for details.

Sorry for not getting back to you early. The bear does have joints -sorry.  And I am not sure why you cannot look at my website.  I am going to try and out the patterns on my blog too!

Finally I have put a new page on my website for FREE PATTERNS.

One pattern is for my teddy bear pincushions and the other for a traditional 10.5" Megelles bear.

I hope you like it.

It is about time that you went public!!
Well done! She looks so sweet - so her name should start with an 's'.

Wonderful photos Therese! Thank you.

It was a great show.  The day disappeared very quickly.

Dear Elk
I am an artist that now has a collection.  My collection started in the early ninties by swapping bears with other artists.

Great photo!!!

I love blonde jokes!!!

This thread is so funny!!!!!   

When     .............  you go on a family holiday and spend most of your time sewing for your next bear show !!  Here is a photo from our last holiday on a houseboat on the Hawksbury River just north of Sydney!!

when ..........your friends buy you presents with teddy bears on them and they both buy you the same present!

when ............  you have  a garage full of boxes (that one day maybe useful for bears)

Well done Christine - I had my daughter help me with mine as well!    Your bears look great.  I am looking forward to the show.

Hi Lisa
We all go thru phases in our lives and where we lack inspiration and enthusiam.  You will find you are probably just in one of those transition phases. Just keep being creative!!!

I am going to Winter Wonderland in Brisbane. My show preparation has been very very slow. This is the stage I am up to.  Nothing is finished and this weekend I am off to Sydney.

No need to stress!!!    Who am I kidding???

What an amazing place to live!  Thank you for sharing Kelly.

Love it!!!
