Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Mine is...I have an Epson Perfection 1250. It use to work OK but now it comes on even when you don't ask it to.
Drives  my husband isane when he is trying to play cards..

Another thing is when I do want to use it ,let's say I select scan to FILE , well it dosn't matter what I select.... the problem is the very next page that come up is all pink and black !!! Weird.

I must fix this as I need it to download photos to a web site. So..best I can think is to uninstall the dang thing then
reinstall it. One other thing I can do is go look for an update on the driver ?

Anyone have any other ideas ??? ............Winney

I live in White City......that's right next door to Medford in southren Oregon.

I use to live in Sweet Home and Lebanon in the Willamette Valley for years...my son still lives near Sweet Home. If we  get down there I will certainly keep you in mind for that picnic ! ...There are more of us here...come on everyone !
                                                                                                             .....Winney

Oh Thank yo, thank you, thank you........( she takes a  bow and whacks her head on that fur supply cubbard door she left open a month ago )....Owch ! Now..I gotta clean up aroud here before I get started again....Love this bunch to bunches...Winney

I thought I'd post this again so it will appear at the top of the list...does anyone have any ideas for this

challanging question  ?...Winney

Thanks Judi...I will look for that mesh at Michaels here...I'll bet there' s other things I can use it for too..Winney

Oh Judi..I loved your report... and to see you and hubs dancing sure reminds me of me and my first husband...we use to dance really well together many types of dances. We must have been entertaining as people would clear the floor just to watch...or maybe we took up too much space? ...lol
You both are having so much fun with your talent  and it shows,.thanks so much for saharing it with us...I feel exilerated just looking at the photos...
I live in Oregon..we use to have a 42 acre farm/pastures , lots to do raising the hay for sale there and keeping track if the kids were completing their chores.....before dark.
I use to raise all our calves for meat..and pigs ....I quit that as I got too attached to them ,so did the kids. We had rabbits,1 basket ball playing goat, chickens,( one use to ride the handelbars on my sons bike, his pet )  ducks , a few geese,several cats and dogs, several horses and we use to board out our pasture for cows and horses. I loved the farm life with a nice garden  and the wild blackberries that grow everywhere... I'd pick a quart every evening... made lots of jam. So many wonderful memories,,,Farm life can be hard work but great for the family...Winney

Beautiful bears and their clothes are wonderful. I know how much time and thought that goes into dressing bears with such detail and style. I make fashion bears , mostly ladies ..its great to see what you have done with the gentelmen, neat characters. I simply love you Henrry the 8th ! Others too but he is my favorite....Winney

Fabulous bag,,love those colors together and so clever of you Danni to put Judis bear on it ....Winney

Oh wonderful Judi !!!! That tiger is to die for and so is the bear...they are both such incrediable works of art ...anyone can  see that for sure !!! Congradulations....Winney

I sure need some help on how to go about doing something...see if I can explain this.

OK...I have an account on Picturedtrail .com for my bear photos .
You can devide up your photos into catagories just like you do at home... then put them in their own albums ...say for instance; Old timey Bears, Real Fur bears,Bunnies  and so on... so I have several albums for bears and I want ONE album  for a Tour thru Winneys Workshop.

Now , pick one photo for each  album  that you really like and use that for photo #1 in the album...easy
The album will appear like a picture FRAME around the first photo only and all the albums will appear on the menu page for the viewers selection.
So...when the viewer clicks on the photo the album opens up...clever ?

OK so here is the problem...For my Workshop  album I tried to use my own photo for the first photo but when I uploaded it... all I could see thru the album frame was my eyes and the top of my head...Ha ! That will never do.

So...I thought of an idea but don't know how to do it.. I'd love a storybook type of door like one you would find illustrated in kids books...you know the kind you happen to find in the woods that belongs to an elf ? Then I'd put carved on the door " Winneys Workshop " or something like that.

I did an image search on Google...it would take years to sort all that out and much may be copywrited. I tried to draw one in my draw program...looked very primitave. Anyone have a clue how to do this ?.....Winney

Thank you one and all..it feels good to be squished in a hug beteen all this fur ...love ya all to pieces !!!...Winney

Hey everyone...Yes, I am back,, I have COPD real bad so its a rollar coaster health problem.You have to have a good

She is one of my favorites Shelli...her face looks so soft...Winney

I love this thread...I didn't have to ask not one question..lol.. You all got it figured out just great...

I love too ..." Gee..there's so many ways to mess up"...lol... I got to thinking ...there sure is..even tho we discuss every single detail on making bears  ( count all the posts !) we can still find more ways ..lol...Winney

Matilda...the shanding sure make a difference, make those puffy cheeks stand right out...Winney

Same way for me..except I do not atttach the head until its done just in case I mess up royally....Winney

Supurb Job ! Both are really wonderful bunnies..I know how hard and stressful it is trying to create someone elses ideas......especially a drawing....I did that  for ONE Comapny and with all kinds of changes and within 2 weeks !!! Yikes,  like you  that really does put the pressure on...never again for me. It does stretch a person  ...for me the wrong way, he he, Great job and they are really cute...I am anxious to see which one they will pick ....Winney

Yeah ! How about some pictures...love to see that bears...Winney

Oh....he is tiney.....Winney

Terri  ...When you cut the muzzle larger ...where do you allow/ add to  cut it larger?

I visualize some places where one could add to make the cheeks " poofier"...maybe

Make a dart just under the cheeks....

Make the muzzle seam longer on side head pieces than the center piece muzzle by say 1/2".... then " work the excess in when hand sewing ".....Winney

Amelia...Your way sounds like it  may work just fine . I since found a better way from reading some of the other posts on making fimo noses...use a glass eye already on a wire or loop....then bake the nose on...

I have some eyes that have flaws like bubbles or flecks of something in the glass , even litle glass bumps stuck on top of the glass...these will all become Fimo noses....simple solution onhow to use up these flawed eyes and get a great Fimo nose made...Winney

Eileen... Thnaks for the info. on the micorabrisive products...must try that and see how it works..Winney
