Hi Helena,
I gave up on the idea of legs and tail ( with tail attached) and took th easy way out with just tail - which I wired so she can pose a little    But I am delighted that you like her - thanks a lot  :hug:
I honestly was going to email you this week but have been so busy with preparations and bears to complete!!
I like you have been busy with Christmas things - isn't it fun to shop for toys and little girly clothes!!
Anyway am going to check out some other bears in for sale here then go and write an ebay page ( A little panda has been screaming at me for a new home - he should be on later tonite!!
Hope all are well with you

This is one of the other bears I have been working on apart from the mermaid who is showing in the miniature postings.
This is Shortcake - strawberry color of course - a sweet colorue bear for a little girl around 11
Thanks for peeking
:hug:
Anne

Hi all,
Some weeks ago I was looking for help with ideas for a mermaid - well here is the finished product to see what you all think of her - her name is Madison and I am so hoping the lady who ordered her will think she is okay - hard work though 
I would be pleased to her what you think truthfully please :redface:
:hug:
Anne

Hi Deb -  I like your existing name too
but waht about maybe Debutant Bears??
:hug:
Anne

Shari - thank you soo much for my wonderful Christmas card   and sticker!!
You were my very first card to arrive and have pride of place under my tree   
Have a wonderful Christmas time  
:hug:
Anne

Don't know if this will help but maybe if you rub a little beeswax on the nose and then buff a little - I have found that a little wax like this will smooth down the embroidery thread (spreads it a little to fill gaps  - however  maybe try it on another try out nose embroidered on fabric first!!
Hope someone else comes up with a better suggestion
PS tape aroudn the nose first with masking tape!!
:hug:
Anne

Fran,
Is this the link to this beauty - has her dress changed a little from the photo here?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mohair-Teddy-in-V … 5643415465
if not then I cannot find her either
Lots of  :hug:
Anne

Christmas tastes like whatever I want   
This has ranged from macaroni cheese with jelly babies to cream of chicken soup with custard creams  :redface:
You see I have lots of food aversions and allergies so I eat whatever I feel like eating 
Once I made a real traditional Christmas dinner for my mum and dad and my kids (years ago now) anyway my dad said - 'what one earth is this?'
when I presented the first course which was home made cream chicken soup(my kids loved it!!)
Anyway never made any guest a real christmas dinner again  

Kim
What kind of effect do you think she wants
If you want circles then you could 'paint' the dye on
This bear is called Century Sunrise and I painted the fabric with dyes of graduated colours to give the sunrise effect - so maybe that would do ?? Draw bear pattern first then paint dye - wash after then cut out bear etc
Hope you get on well doing the bear and I look forward to seeing the final product  
  :hug:
Anne

Yes Yes Toes would be wonderful  
Does your mind picture have claws??
I wish I could draw - I just get in there and cut and sew away - not a designer per se a bit of a nip and tuck person me  
Will look forward to next picture updates  
:hug:
Anne

Dilu -
she's very very sweet  :dance:  :dance: - and the other little guy with the needle felting ( and saxaphone?) and the pink girly friend - excellent     and excellent photography   - so hard to get little ones right with the camera
:hug:
Anne

I love Dragons
I have a dragon Tatoo 
I have tried a baby dragon - with log pile green u velvet - I did his wings with a textured leather inner - If I can get a better picture of him at the weekend I will post him - but I just love this dragon !! :clap:  :clap: Especially his hands - but I do not understand why you think his legs are wrong    I think his legs are great like the rest of him :dance:  :dance:
:hug:
Anne

Kathy she is adorable - her nose is sooo good and her feet - those toes are tremendous  
Well done you  
:hug:
Anne

Hi Stephanie,
If, jsut if mind you, you started a waiting list for your beautiful frosty fabric - I bet you could fill pages just from TT ers      I would add my name
:hug:
Anne

Aaww Helena,
I am soo sooo sorry about your bear friend   - I hope you find an understudy for him soon :hug:  :hug:  :hug:
Did you think of asking the charity shop if you could put an ad in their window to try and find him??
:hug:
