Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Well Jeannie,  I have made a bigger bear with fabric for little ones. I do not think is nothing wrong about it. The only thing is that you have to be very careful the stitches don't show ( it is shorter fur )  and about to use or not the fray block,  it will not be needed if it is not the fraying kind of fabric,   some are not. If it looks like it could be I will water the fray check down a bit and use,  a very fine line, at the edges and let it dry over night. Make sure to see if it will discolor  the fabric  on a scrap before you do it on the the bear.
Hope I was of some help.
I will love to see the bear  when is done.
Bear hugs.

Hi Lisa
I just finishes this felt doll and it is my first one.  ( I am going to the site you talked about right after I post this!! ) I used on her Sharpie for her eyes freckles and mouth. I made her because, it was just an idea..  I had to make one!  I made her out of just craft felt and like Daphne said I did have trouble with the fuzz. Have to be very careful and go a little at a time.
Hope this help.
Bear hugs.

Thanks Jenn   Belive me I am not a preacher but, if somebody, for example, say to me happy Hanuka I will say to you too! I do not feel offended!! To me everybody ( including ME!) have the right to belive on what they want or not to belive at all and say it or write it and not have to be in a "special " place to do it!!  It becomes a very harsh and uncaring place, when people do not want to be bother with other people's  problems or illness , or worries!
I just better stop talking about this. it has giving me a BIG headache!! This was a happy comforting place to come for me and I am sure for many other. Do not get me wrong, I love to talk about bears and see so many beautiful bears. It is so much fun to participate in the challenges. If I see something that I do not like or agree with or something that it is not of any interest to me , I just go to another topic!! There are plenty!
Thank you again Jeann.
Bear hugs.

                                             It is soooooooooooooooooo sad that we are letting people of no faith or compassion to control our lifes! That they are being "accommodate" everywhere...EVEN IN HERE!! Teddy bears have always been look at  like symbols of compassion, caring companions in happy and sad times. What is happening in this world of ours??? Or better said. What are we letting happen in this world of ours? When we are at a time that so much faith and prayers are needed we are letting  others, that are for sure free of having their own belives ( or not!! ) to control the rest? I never wanted to take the right of others to their own belives or thoughts but, I feel like my rights are being push aside. In my country of birth, we got to a point that we , the people of faith, were not able to go to church because it was offending to the non believers. Churches were close down...What about the believers rights? If somebody is saying here or anywhere that they do not belive and that they think prayers are of no used at all . I am not offended! That is the way, that person think and this is a free country. I will not want or ask for them to be "put" on a different page! They ( EVERYBODY!! ) have the right  to say whatever they want to say, their thoughts, to belive or not and to read or not what others say in here. That IS what freedom is people!! I am so sad and worry that in this wonderful country of freedom I am seeing this happening more and more.  If somebody says to me I do not belive in prayers, or Angels or saints, I will not try to make them "see" the light, that is not how I am and that is NOT what anybody was doing in here. I think that being fair is not to "divided" people for their belives. Freedom is to be able to say ( or write ) what you want and if somebody do not like it it is simple PEOPLE... do NOT read it!! That is what everybody always did. For Heavens sake ( I guess I can say that in here?? ) offending IS a dirty word. When to say, that I need prayers became a dirty word?
No hugs...my bears are too sad and for sure, my Gollies are NOT smiling.
Gladys
