Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Awww sooo cute, no wonder you have your hands full 

My heart goes out to the family, and I pray for little Madeleine's safe return  :pray:  :pray:  :pray:  :pray:  :pray:

Hi Richy, I think you will love your Sassy fabric, I know I do.  :dance:  :dance:
Don't know anything about Magic Fabric Fixer, but the name sounds interesting. 

Hi all, I am feeling rather guilty that I am having such an amazing time this week when some of you are not well and are having troubles.  But maybe my sunny days will rub off and brigten your days.
This morning I had a phone call from my daughter saying that she wasn't sure, but thought her waters had broke.  Her hubby was at work and the hospital said to just come in for a check up, so she asked me to go with her.
We expected her to be home tonight, but no.............
She had a darling little boy at 1pm by cesarian section. She was 5 weeks early and had a c-section as the baby was breach.
He is a 6lb 2oz cutie, and I think that is a good weight for a little premmie, I think that they said he was borderline, but he only needed a little air for an hour and he is fine 
This is ontop of an amazing week which started on Sunday with the Melbourne Teddy Event, where I won Bear of Show for the second year running.  I also won best bear under 6" for a little minkie.  On top of that I sold quiet a few bears and met some great collectors and bear artists.
Every thing seems to happen at once both when it's bad and when it's good, thank goodness for the good times.
And I hope my good news brightens your day.

Yay for Laura!!!! :clap:  :clap:  :clap:
Glad to see that this sort of thing isn't tollerated.

I do hope you get some relief soon Patsy.  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

:crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup: I loved that tag line  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:

:crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:
well some of them are very imaginative , like No10  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup: but oh so gross

I wouldn't recommend dying the fur.
In the tanning process the pelt is treated.
Wetting the coat would lead to this treatment breaking down, and deteriation of the pelt.
The dyed fur that is made up into coats ect, was dyed during the treatment process.
I agree with shane, that the easiest way would be to swap with someone who has spare light color fur.

Awww arn't they sweet

Sounds like you had a really great time dispite it being a slow show.
Well done on winning your wonderfull trophy  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Awww sorry to hear that your listing was mucked up.
What I do with people bidding with no history, is send them an email welcoming them, and say that if they need any advice or help to contact me. 
THEN.... I pray like mad that it all turns out ok.
I have not had a non payer (touch wood), but I beleive in being friendly and giving them the benifit of the doubt untill something goes wrong.
Newbies respond to this, as it all can be abit daunting when you start out.
I remember my fist bid on ebay, it was for over $100 and thinking back the guy must have been having kittens too 
But being new to it all, once I did my first transaction, I had a soft spot for this seller and continued to buy from him.
Yes, you can stop bidders with no history, but do you really want to????

:crackup:  he has the ears for it 

Oh WOW!!!! Big Congratulations  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:
