I just wanted to let you know how good it is to see you online again Sarah  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:
Unfortunatly I don't have my favorite's list anymore, I will have to have a search for you as I came across a great online shop recently.
I will post it as soon as I find it again.

Oh Ginny, so sorry to hear about what happened to your little charge, these things do happen even when you take every care.
I am sure your Daughter will understand.   :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

What a wonderful, brave daughter you have, and doesn't she make a beautiful billboard.  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:
I hope all her dreams come true, with her education and wedding plans.  What a beautiful bride she will be.
You must be sooo proud of her Kathy.  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:

Oh WOW!!!!! Your first bear!!!!!
My goodness your really gave him character, love how you did his eyes, and the faux fur is lovely  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

That is wonderful Sue, I have seen posts in the past asking questions on how to go about knitting clothing for bears, so I am sure there would be lots interested.  I don't get the time to sit and write alot of the instructions down, so my instructions are all higgledy piggledy. 

Sue, I already design little outfits for my mohair and alpaca bears.
It's so much fun, but I only do it in the winter for an excuss to sit by the fire 

I did a western Union or something once from the post office, I was scared stiff as I had never heard of it before.  I was soooo easy

Oh he sort of looks like an anamie cat 
He is soooo sweet 

Oh how exciting  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:
Hope it all goes well, and your back home with your new little bub in no time  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:

Thankyou for warning us SarahJane, I will be on the look out 

Hi again Ellen, the EZ lightbox sounds familiar, funny you ask about folding them up 
I never did get the hang of it, my spare one is not folded up because I gave up 
I use 3 lights,  one each side one on top. But lots do it diferent, I am still playing around really.

Oh Paula, what a rotten thing to happen, big hug comming your way and hope it helps  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:
Hope you can recover your information quickly with the least disruption  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Thankyou all for your congratulations, It certainly was an increadable week.  Something to treasure for always.
I fed little Mathew yesterday, and he absolutely gobbled his tucker(bottle) down.  They were saying that he will probably be in longer than my daughter, but the way he is going I can't imagine it.  He is so darn cute, all my bears from now on will probably look like baby mathew from now on 

Omg, sounds like the very same person that sent one to Kathy, but wait.....
Oh my.....THEY referr to TWO diferent artists??????
now, which of them does she think should be making the cats????? 

Wow Kathy, your repy email was excellent.  Unfortunatly, I never saw the cat that was being refered too, I bet it was a sweetie like all your designs are.
It sounded to me that this person is friends with someone who specialises in cats.  How very narrow minded of her to say only one person can make them.
It's weird as I have just been commissioned to do two cats, and I will probably look at making more.  But, I have been given a free hand thank goodness and time to do them. 
I was going to refer them on to someone who makes cats, but couldn't resist the challenge 
Keep stretching those boundaries, and there is always the blocker button on email 

If your talking about the text in the general posts Paula, I can see no diference, looks completely the same to me.   
Thou there has been work on the vendors page that i know of.

Ellen, I don't know what brand I have, but my first one was quiet big, and as the majority of my work is around 4" I ended up getting a smaller size about 40cm or 16". That was the smallest I could see on Ebay when I purchased it.  So, please don't make the mistake I did by buying a large one when you work small.
I am just learning by trial and error so someone else might give you more experienced advice.  I know there are some fab photographers out there 

I just added a picture for you all, though I did edit myself out 
O just look so goofy in photo's
But here is little Matthew James.
I also put one up the top.

here is one of the competition table of my bears 


Thankyou all for looking and sharing in my joy
