She is the most lovable bunny ever        That face!!!!  You certainly did capture the "bunny thing" - perfectly    

Here's little Daphne.  I just listed her  in my Etsy shop in hopes of finding her a new mum for Spring.

Oh, thank you so much!  I cannot begin to tell me how much all of your words mean to me :hug:  :hug:  :hug:
I've been having a tough time of things lately and making bears gives me such a feeling of peace.  It's  really does feel like getting a big hug
when each of you leave a little message.

I finally have a precious few hours left free today so I'm of to work on some bearies.

Again,  Many thanks for the encouragement and for being such a sweet group

Have wonderful weekend, one and all.  Hugs,  Louisa

Hi Everyone and Happy New Year!

I'm having a little give-away over on my blog  http://rosieposie.typepad.com/mousetales/  and I'd love it if you'd stop by and join in the fun.
And to see Ulla the wee bear who very eager to discover just who her new mom or dad will be.  I'd love it if she had a chance to go home with someone from Teddy Talk :0)

Hope to see you there!

Hugs,

Louisa

She's adorable!        Great shoes!

What a sweetie!  Can't wait to see more of your designs :0)

What a sweetly forlorn little bear!    

I'm so very sad to hear this for you are a true artist. And I'm very thankful to have a few of your darling bears living with me      Is there anything I can do to help?
Wishing you all the best.  I hope you will stay in touch with us here at TT. :0)

What a  cuddlebug! That fur looks lusciously soft,  Love her ears!  

cute and elegant at the same time! :clap:  :clap:   Cuties !

Awww... he looks like he has a Winnie the Pooh personality.  What a sweetie!

That face!  Those feet!       

He looks as if he could speak.  Just beautiful!

Beautiful girl and what an imploring expression!  I can't believe she's actually crocheted.  Outstanding work!

My, you've been busy!  Your bears are too cute for words!  I love how small and round they are

Thank Eliza!  The feeling is quite mutual. 
I am in love with the white bear you showed yesterday but he sold to fast !

Whew! Finally got this little one photographed...  Please say hello to Marmee Bumbleroot.  She's completely handsewn and stands about 6 inches tall from ear tips to toes :0)  Oh... and her whiskers are from my own little donkey's tail!
addendum:  I just realized that sounded like I have a donkey tail :redface:  when what I meant was that Eeyore, my donkey, donated the hair for the whiskers!

I'll have more about her listed in my Etsy shop later tonight.  Right now I'm off to see my first baby graduate from high school.  I suspect I'll be crying before it's over.  She's very excited, of course!  Thanks for looking!

Update:  She's in the shop! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?li … d=27026078

Thanks so much for the tips!!!  The orange stick and needle assistance are great ideas
I also had a thought while weeding the garden this evening... what if I just left a much larger opening than normal?
Mattress stitching would work just as easily on a  partially sewn arm as it does on one with just a small opening.
Plus it's a bit of a fun challenge to see how perfect I can get the closing to look ;0)  Will try it tonight and let you know how it works out!
Hugs,  Louisa

Hi Everyone!
Does anyone have any secrets they could share for turning wee little bear parts?  (specifically for bears 3 inches and under) I did these fairly easily a few years ago but am having some problems lately      - overworked looking bear arms by the time I've got them turned.  I realize this seems to indicate the problem might be my increasing age :0)  but maybe I've forgotten a trick or two.  I'm hoping it's the later!
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Louisa   

he's darling!

That is one cute little kitten.  I adore her face!
