Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Congrats again.

NEVER feel guilty about more shoes. You need them. Plus your bears and your sweetheart want you to look cute too!

(I have so many that I have boxes of them in my boys' room.)

Keep looking great  (feeling comfy) and taking care of yourself. :hug:

Hi Gladys

Thanks for your warm invitation to all of us. This is a great idea.
I'm sure that each of our gollies will have it's own unique heart & soul.

I want to design my pattern right away, because soon I'll need to start my
Halloween and Christmas bears and dolls.

I need to know what size gollie (mini, small, medium or large) and what
limitaions you have on materials that we can use. 

Thanks again. :thumbsup:

Dilu, you sure make me smile . . . and laugh!
That is a gift.  :hug:

Hey Dilu! . . .My sistah in golliwogdom! I AM SO IN!! :dance:

Last night right before I drifted off into dreamland, I felt an urging that
said go ahead and create a gollie for the challenge.

One of the classical music pieces is called The Golliwogs Cakewalk
by composer Claude Debussy . . .it is lovely and was created as a
children's march.

I am such a goofy lady that I consider myself to be a "living gollie".
My creator made me this way. I have been looking for an opportunity
to help create understanding  and education about this wonderful doll.
I love the ones that I have been seeing by the Teddy Talk artists. When I am
able I want to collect from you guys.

Thank heaven for you beautiful women. I wish that the leaders of the
world would lighten up . . .as we do right here! :hug:

Hi guys!

I guess by now people know that I am "gollie ga-ga" :crackup:
I'm aways thinking in terms of creating them. (Of course the bears too)
Not everybody in our society understand golliwogs and their origins, but I find them to be esthetically very pleasing . . .like primitive art.

I'm really into anything Japanese / anime. If you think about it, there is a
big influence of their culture in our video games and so much more.
My wheels are turning about what to design next.

Congrats Sweetie!!

Your wonderful spirit manifests itself in your creations. :hug:    :dance:

Hi Judi!

Hope your husband feels better!
You have to take care of him. 

We (my husband, two boys & I) barbecue every "warm weather" holiday
so that's what we'll do for Independence Day. We even smoke turkeys
at Christmas time!, and Judi you know how cold it is in the Mid West
in the winter.

We share what we cook with neighbors, family and my
husband's co-workers. I'm begging him to open up a restaurant when
he retires because we LOVE people.

Tanya usually makes a pasta salad and pre-tenderizes the ribs before
they go on the grill/smoker. Sometimes I merinade the meat with
tomato paste.

Let us all remember what freedom is and what freedom costs.
