Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Ah Ladies, thank you so very much, I really really appreciate it  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Well done on your very first designed bear  :dance:

It's an awesome feeling, isn't it. I can remember my first, like it was yesterday, I was so chuffed as well but also like you very critical of myself. I still am very very critical of my own work, so you see we all are very hard on ourselves.

If you don't mind me saying, Toffee (great name) reminds me of The Cheeky bears by Merrythought

Thanks Lynn and Elaine, for your kind words

I have a lot of blessings, so it feels very false to grumble when so many others are having marriage and health problems
We lost a lot of wages overnight but at least we are both working 

I am so glad you like Edward, his mohair is stunning, it's a really rich russet colour on a chocolate background, very yummy 

Well guys, it's been a tough couple of months but hopefully its behind me...................famous last words.

I didn't want to really go into it on here but a lot of my time, just lately, has been taken up with letters, call and planning....................hopefully for a better future. My worries are trivial compared to the ones on here and are more time consuming than anything else.......................anyway, you could say that the credit crunch came up to me and bit me in the proverbial bum, last August. Hey ho, never let it get me down 

This is Edward and he is now on my website, with a few others........................thanks for taking a peak XXXX
Beary hugs to those that need it and to those that don't  :hug:  :hug:

PS Edward is about 17 inches, he is weighted and has a lovely floppy feel

Hi there I emailed you, wasn't sure you got it??
Huggies Sue

...............Storage, boy do those supplies multiply   

Selling : Shows

Be sure to visit plenty of shows before you commit to a theme for your stand. It can be very expensive to buy quality material for your table, only to discard it after one show.......................speaking from experience, here.

Reference books!!!!!

Adorable      

Gosh what gorgeous bears, I do like Flick     

Ah thanks Ladies  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

They are all just gorgeous, all your bears are. I had to giggle at Colgate, love that name     

Hope everything goes smoothly for you sewing wise 

Ah Girls you are all too kind, thank you all so much     

Marlys, I have added you to my blog, add away 

Such a pretty face and gorgeous fur, I am sure she will do very well on ebay       

I adore this one, she has such a divine face      

What a sweetie and soooooooooo small     

OMG that is just the sweetest face     

What a very cute girlie, love the bow and skirt, she looks very proud       

Hi everyone, I would like to introduce Bourbon, he is a wee little fella at 3 3/4 inches.

I have put him up for adoption on my blog at the moment, as I have a few issues with my website (can't load new stuff!!!)

He is 5 way cotter pin jointed with embroidered nose and black boot button eyes. I have shaded and needle sculpted around his eyes.

I hope you like him 

Hi Thomas, why not try your local wool shop, they often have knitters who will knit up patterns for the shop. Back in the 80's each shop had an army of knitters who would knit on commission. That way you could buy the pattern and then choose the wool from the shop 

Beth says

I know what you mean Beth, your not weird, I find the white words tend to blur after a bit but I found Becca's site ok, I think its the font she has used  :hug:

What a sweetie         

Hi Becca, now I am not normally one for dark backgrounds but I do like your black and white theme too. I love the front page very cute.

I found your "about me" interesting, so well done you   

PS have rellies in Perth, I visited in 1986 and yes it is very pretty

I have just added you, love the graphics

So gorgeous, they go so well together     

Hi Jeanne, I played with my name for about 2 months, various versions with my surname. As this is Pemblington, which is long it didn't work at all. Like Joanne, my location gave me the starting point. I was nearly Fenland Bears but we have a local factory called Fenland foods  :crackup: so I ditched that

Daphne, that is interesting, I am not sure my name agrees with any of the points. I didn't check online availability, my B in the middle is a capitol and I am not sure if my name is easily memorable 

BUT isn't Orchard Breeze Bears nicer sounding than Fuzzy Bears........................sorry if you are called Fuzzy bears, nothing wrong with it but Orchard Breeze conjures up apple blossom, sunny, windy days, hazy days, autumn...............etc

She is so beautiful
