Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

The fur must have been waiting for this particular bear. Hogan is great!    Vicki

Skelly is a sweetheart! 

Big smiles 

I found some luxurious faux fur at fabric.com. Just search for faux fur when you enter their site. They do have some mongolian type faux fur. It's rather stringy, as I ordered some and made a couple of pretty neat bears.

I have what is called a "lint buster." You can find them at the fabric shop. They work great to clean up that teddy hair that gets stuck to my clothing and to pick up the fly away pieces on the piece I am cutting.

I've never been very good at the stitched noses so this post is very helpful to me, too. I tend to follow Jenny's method when I do stitch the noses. Also, Gail, I have purchased the wood wool (excelsior) from CRs Crafts. I did check our sponsor's website for excelsior first    though. I couldn't find any at this time, but they may carry some in the future.

Looks like my "wings" are coming back Here is little Chipster made from two recycled mink stoles. He is just listed on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/251200426716?ss … 1555.l2649.

Thank you all!

The rest of the story!

Today I went to my little Etsy store (that I have all but emptied out) and saw that my feedback was back to 100%. The lady who left me negative feedback reversed her negative into a positive. She didn't realize what an effect it had on a shopowner. She was under the impression that only the seller could see the feedback and had no idea it actually lowered a person's rating. My heart skipped a beat when I saw my feedback changed back to 100%. I know it seems like such a little thing, but it really does affect the way people perceive a business. Thank all of you for your support through this. Once more, I believe in the power of positive thinking and teddy bear love! 

Wow ... what an amazing bear. 

ahhhhhh, how cute 

Rocco Rocks! 

Sweet bunnies! I love the eyes, too. 

He looks very real! 

Your little bears are sooooo cute. This one especially. Love the color
