Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Congratulations!!!

I just had to comment on your absolutely lovely bears!! What amazing detail! They are all so beautiful!

Soooooo cute!! I just love them!

Will do!! HOw terribly sad, but it always manages to put MY problems in perspective when I hear stories like that. Thank you for the information!

Ahhhh...makes perfect sense to me! Today, I ripped one of my older bears apart, and noticed that yes, indeed, there was fabric stuck in there. Unfortunately, the epoxy had gotten stuck to the fabric too, so I ended up ripping the leg off entirely! :(
But yes, I will be more careful now, and thank you so much for your help and insight!
Hugs,

I am so sorry- I don't really know what to say except that you, your dad, and grandma are in my thoughts and prayers. All the best to you!

Anita

THANK YOU!!!!!!!! You know, I am going to try that tomorrow night with my newest bear.
I do use epoxy, but my dad told me not to, because the epoxy got onto the nut, which made it almost impossible to tighten. Why is jointing the absolute worst part for me?? :)
Anyway, I thank you, and send you gigantic bear hugs!

Hello out there! I have a question for you all:
I have been using locknut and bolt joints, and just recently switched to using locknut washers and bolts- which are nice and tight! Unfortunately, though, there is always ONE leg that is a bit wobbly in all my bears!! WHY?? It is driving me absolutely batty- it seems that even when I sweat to death tightening the danged thing, it still loosens up? Any tips for a rather frustrated gal? :)
Hugs,
Anita
