Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Yesterday, we went and released the little froggies at a little pond down the road.  I must admit that the little guys were pretty amazing.  When my daughter brought them home their tails were as long as their bodies......within two days there tails shrunk and completely disappeared.  I thought it would take a bit longer, but how amazing is that!  I definitely learnt something.

Danielle (my daughter) was very sad to see them go, but she says she knows it was the right thing to do. Apparently, while on her way home from school the other day, she found a couple of boys throwing rocks into a mud puddle, while laughing about how they are killing the tadpoles in it.  That's when she grabbed her lunchbox, told the boys off and rescued all the little tadpoles she could find still left in the puddle.  The only thing she kept saying after we releaed them yesterday was, "at least I saved them from those horrible boys".  She REALLY seams to like frogs - The last couple of days, every time I see her in front of her computer she is researching frogs on the net.  Perhaps I should go get her a green tree frog down at the herp shop.

Yeah, I can't see my son doing something like that...he doesn't even bring girls home <giggle> Apparently it interferes with his schoolwork 

Yep, they're Easter Bluetongues.  They are quite hardly and soooo easy to keep.  We feed then carrot, zucchini, strawberries, banana and canned puppy food......but their most favourite is garden snails.

I'm so sorry to hear about your illness and I will also most certainly be praying for you!  I can only imagen how scary this must be for you right now, but look on the bright side, at least they caught it early and they can start treating it right away.  Sending lots of positive thoughts your way!!

I have a mini turtle like that.  My kids keep yelling at me for stickin' pins in his head....
"put them in his body, not his head mum! Poor turtle !!" 
Yep, so as if that would make a difference 

Awww, look at that face....he's adorable!!

Thanks you guys!   :hug:

You are all so kind with your comments!  Thankyou so much!

I usually don't take paypal payments, but I could make an exception

I made the Butterfly's wings myself - I always try to keep things simple, but still look good, so the wings are also a simple design and very easy to attach once the bear has been completed.  I supply the wings sets seperately from the pattern too.....you have to assemble the wings yourself though. 

Yep, they are laminated paper wings.  I wanted to design wings that were easy and simple for any one to be able to make and attach.  I felt that the first couple of wing designs I came up with were a bit too complicated and in the end came up with the paper laminated wings.  I do supply the wings seperately too 

Hubby was actually just pulling her leg.  :crackup:  I told her yesterday already to go release them down at the pond as soon as they loose their tails.  Those little babies are 'Spotted Grass Frogs' (they get up to 4.5cm....which is not very big) and are one of three species exempt from licencing in the ACT.   I'm not sure I want to keep frogs too, I'm actually waiting for my licence to keep a diamond python. 

This is what my 11 yr old daughter braught home yesterday in her lunchbox of all things.....

.....TEN of them and now she tells me she wants to keep them and raise them......Hubby just wants to feed them to our Lizards (I know the lizards LUV snails, but froggies....I'm not sure about that). Here's Captain Fluffy and Babezilla....THE lizards....

I can't make bears when I'm stressed out (all creativity flies out the window then), but I don't start cleaning either...I tend to give myself over to retail therapy

Ooooh, I love em both!  They have such big personalities and they are so adorably CUTE!!

This is one of my latest pattern/kit bears released a few days ago.  This one is supposed to be a bear in a lamb suit.

I have recently released some new patterns.  This one is named Hedgehog.  He gave me a bit of a headache...6 hedgehogs later and I was happy with the result.  I hope he kinda looks like a bear in a hedgehog suit....that was the idea anyway.

I have recently released some new patterns.  Here is one of them.

I shall keep both Patrice and Sophie in my prayers!!

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family and of course your Grandma!

Your gorgeous bears definitely deserves such an awesome website!  Congratulations!!

Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way!
