Hi Paula
You might also want to try Beary Cheap Teddymaking supplies in Australia, although I think you want to get the faux fur that they have at the throw company.  I've been eyeing out their fabric for quite a while but will have to save up my pennies first    Let me know if you order some and how it looks when you get it.
By the way, you don't sound anywhere near senile.  I actually thought you were very young

I am so very disappointed    I ordered a book, The Complete Book of Teddybear Making Techniques by Alicia Merrett and Ann Stephens through Amazon and it looks like it has got lost in the post as I ordered two months ago and the seller says it should have arrived by now.  I feel like crying, I was so looking forward to getting this book.  Just wanted to tell somebody who understands

Me too 

I don't know if anyone else does this but I have now started to tack my bear pieces after pinning them.  I just got so fed up with sticking holes in my fingers and bleeding on my bears and have found that tacking works for me.  It doesn't take much longer to do and helps to keep my bears blood free

Hi Paula, well I don't think I'm a star just yet but I'm still very proud of myself. Hugs 

Thanks very much for your compliments Jane, he's not too small 14 inches (35cm) and do you know, I haven't even given him a name yet. 

I have your blog on my Favourites Bar.  Your bears are beautiful    Hugs, Coraleen

Thanks Sherroy 

Thanks very much Karen and Susiray.  Karen you are right,  I want to do so many new things - I wish I had more time to make bears 

Thank you for all your lovely remarks, its so inspiring 

And of course......... He's gone on to my avatar 

Thanks so much Becky.  Although I finished him a week ago, I still feel like the cat who got the cream. 

Here is the very first creation of DallyMay Teddies.  I designed the pattern myself and while a very simple design, I am quite proud of myself.  Of course, there are quite a few improvements to make like moving the legs so that they are not so splayed but all in all, I am very pleased with the result. 

Wow!!! That is unbelievable   

Absolutely adorable.  Is there anything cuter than baby bunnies?        

How beautiful   

The little toungue is so cute 

What an adorable bear and I'm sure he will get all the TLC he needs.  What a nice project to undertake.    
Hugs, Coraleen

Congratulations on your awards.  Your creations are beautiful     

I think you deserve to blow your own trumpet.  Congratulations on your award and your nomination (The Royal Wedding was beautiful) 
Regards, Coraleen

Thanks to Marylin.  I looked at the picture again after her post and only then saw the baby.  You can just see its big eyes.  A beautiful photo.
Hugs, Coraleen

They are beautiful little dogs and I take my hat off to you for being willing to give them a home.  They look fairly mature and its wonderful that people such as yourselves can open your hearts to these two little bundles.  You must be very caring, loving people.  I hope they give you many, many hours of love and enjoyment.  Hugs, Coraleen
     

What a wonderful bundle of love!!!        

This is so cute!! I have a thing about squirrels and find them very charming naughty little creatures
