Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Hi Natascha,

thank you for sharing these news with us. I looked at the pictures, Wilbaer is just adorable   and I can see why you are so excited.

Maria, huge CONGRATULATIONS       from me too and as always: well deserved. Your creativity is incredible and so are your bears. Too bad, you don't know what the articele says, but I am sure it will all be good stuff!

Huggies,
Marion

What a precious little dog. She surely looks happy and it seems, she found a wonderful home.
Both of our dogs are rescued dogs and we never regretted it.
I wish you all the best with your new companion.

Marion

Hi Valerie,

Congratulations to another wonderful issue of BearsandBuds.

At the moment I am travelling and having my laptop with me I could enjoy this once again informative and entertaining issue.

I also would like to thank you for showing my new felties.

Marion

Hi Paula,

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU (and of course all the others)!

The sheet I have posted was given to me by Mindy Kinsey at the IDEX, so you can believe that the information is correct.

Just celebrate!

Hi Denise,

congratulations on your new property. It looks like a wonderful place with beautiful views.

Hugs,
Marion

My bears are crocheted and I can only enter in the non-traditional category. I don't think I can crochet any better bears than these two. Made me think I simply shouldn't enter next year since it can't get any better.

But now I feel so much better after seeing all the incredible entries that didn't make it either. I also was trying to find something "wrong" about my 2 bears which I loved the most of all my bears ever made.

Well, living in Florida of course I visited the IDEX and got myself an award:   I bought my first BJD doll at the IDEX    

Hi everybody,

I thought it would be nice to see pictures of the entries that didn't make it into the "winner's circle" and I will start with my 2 entries of crocheted bears in the non-traditional category, Lawrence and Leonie:

Sorry, didn't work. Here another try.

Hi everybody,

I guess, everybody has been waiting for the results and here is the list of winners, fresh from the IDEX in Orlando. I just scanned the sheet and hope it is readable. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS!!! :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Thank you all for your nice comments on my babies.

I surely got addicted to felting, part due to the fact that I have always loved sculpting.
Felting offers so much room for creative "sculpting", I guess many more miniature bearkidz will be born as bearkidz felties. lol

Hugs,
Marion

Hi everybody,

after having enjoyed making my first 2 felties in a long time I had fun making some more. Here I am showing you some pictures which I also enjoyed taking.

The bears range from 1 3/4 to 4 inches.

Hope you like them.

Hugs,
Marion

Hi Maria,

thank you for posting this link. The pictures are stunning.  I will definitely follow this story.

Hugs,
Marion
