Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Thank you Daphne for the fab photos.....your stand looked great with your lovely bears  I love to see pics of shows they always look such fun places to be! 
Hugs lynne  :hug:

I have a Janome which is great...never gets tangled...I've also never oiled it thinking about it now! Mind you I rarely machine mohair so not sure how it would be and I'd probably have to oil it a bit more!
I did have a Frister&Rossman for years which was fab and my God-daughter still uses it now, she's studying fashion design at uni so it's used quite a lot!  :hug: lynne

.....me to...I have a wonky shoulder today!....love the pic Tami    lynne

Yea  :clap:  :dance: great cover!....well done both 
Lynne  :hug:

Wow Judi.....how fab and what super bears   
Lynne  :hug:

Website is looking sooo good Sandi....I'm in awe! 
Hugs Lynne  :hug:

:crackup:  Thanks for the chuckle Sue!  :hug:

He's very cute Paula....I recently made an attempt at an elephant too and also decided it would go with another bear cos I wasn't sure whether I liked him or not!....so I know how you feel.....but don't worry Abe is a great little guy 
hugs Lynne  :hug:

Lovely trio Sue...hope the fair goes really well 
Hugs Lynne  :hug:

Happy Easter to you to Jane....and to all those other choccy egg eaters out there!    Lynne

Awwww get well soon Tiffani  lynne

great place to add a sparkle!  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup: lynne

Wow ....Mary did you take a pic of your 46" bunny before you took him apart?! I can't imagine how you stuffed something that big! 
Lynne

Gosh that's a lot to remember about road stripes Ellen!....but thank you! Yes we are favouring the train at the moment. Hope the vet visit goes well.  :hug:

ps. have you considered giving Caya Aloe Vera to drink, to boost her immune system, for her allergy. We drink it and haven't had a cold for years! You can get it with cranberries too...good for the kidneys and bladder. A vet friend also gives it to her horse. I can always send you some to try.....

Hi Roxanne, I know how you feel.....I'm not sure where to sell at the moment either and it's very discouraging....prices seem to be quite low, especially on ebay....but do keep on making your lovely bears...or at least have some fun designing some new ideas....I've been spending time on pattern designing and making different sizes...and even dyeing mohair! I think decide to have a couple of weeks off selling and take the pressure off a bit...get out all your fabrics and have some fun  :dance:
cheer-you-up-hugs Lynne  :hug:

Well done Frank!    I love the bags    I'm sure they will all disappear at the Spring Show...but Daphne maybe Frank could make a few more aftrewards to sell on Etsy so we can all have a chance at snapping one up! 
Hugs Lynne  :hug:

Thanks Kim....I have this wonderful picture of your puppy chewing its way round the house...collecting shoes, socks, toys anything in its path!  :crackup: You must have to hide your bears all the time too 
Ellen you're right Dutch people speak English really well....but it's nice to 'have a go' at the language when you visit a new country....also I'm usually the one trying to read the map and the signs! 
:hug:

Thank you Wendy for the link of hotels....I took a look it's a good site and will spend more time going through the hotels.
Thanks Wilma for the link to the bear shop in Dordrecht....it sounds like an interesting place to visit too.
Ellen it seems we need to stay for a month at least as I'd love to visit both the east, which you have tempted me with and also the west area! I'm thinking now we should drive 'cause then we will have the car to travel around the whole area!
Thank you all...hugs Lynne  :hug:

Just found the Easter challenge Judi....and just finished my first ever bunny today!....it's only a little bunny at 3.5"...so here's a pic of 'Bertie Bunny'....not sure what to do with him now as not much is happening on ebay and I don't want to sell him for peanuts.....I've started another in a lovely blue sassy....will post a pic soon. I love these other Easter creations...it's wonderful how everyone's work is so different 
Hugs Lynne  :hug:

Hello Ellen....thank you so much for all this information....I knew you were lovely when I met you at Hugglets!    I agree we'd like to avoid the cities mainly...although some shopping would be good!
I will go on google maps and find the locations you have suggested and keep you posted 
Hope your little dog is feeling much better 
Hugs Lynne  :hug:

Hi.....we are (hubby & I) planning a trip to the Netherlands in April and wondered if anyone had any tips as to best place to stay and any beary places to visit. We'll probably fly into Amsterdam to begin with....but would be happy to stay out of the city and explore a bit further afield. Has anyone ever stayed on a Dutch barge?....just a thought!
Hugs Lynne  :hug:

Adorable little knitted guys      what talent your family has    don't sell them until you're sure Daphne...you wouldn't want to regret it afterwards......and do make more bunniies! 
Hugs to you all Lynne  :hug:
ps love Jane's certificates! 
ps Daphne did you felt the knitting before stitching the pieces together?

How can that be comfy!!!Tee hee  :crackup: ....nice chuckle for the day...thank you Tami 

Thank you Jane .....Happy Mother's Day too....and to all the TT Mum's 
Lynne  :hug:

Hi Chloe....I agree with Daphne....grab your needle felting needle and add more face and bigger eyelids...she really isn't that bad.....tho she did make me chuckle with her slightly tipsy expression! 
Lynne  :hug:
