Sounds like GREAT fun. Boy wish there were more people closer to me here. Wish I could come and Chat !!!
No No honey, nothing wrong at all ,A BIG HUG I SEND TO YOU. :hug: I have had posts that there are slow responses to and I start thinking the same thing. I share allot of pictures mainly because I like to see other peoples pictures in return so some times I feel people are getting sick of me .... but I really don't think that is the case. People just get busy and can't answer every thing, every day. So just keep sharing......We are out here looking. Most people just look and don't answer. Just look at the number of people that look at the posts , then look at replies. So don't worry dearie.

thanks Heather!
With my unexpected day off work, I just went and bought 10 big storage bins and am having a major sort out...I have spare bear stuff spread for miles!
************************************************* Oh GOODIE !!!!!!! Like Christmas !!!! A Designer Fest !!!
Thank you , I am glad you enjoyed it ! Hope you learned a trick or 2 !!
I do the mirror trick also. It really works. It catches what the eye does not see.
Oh now I have to see also !!!!!
Sorry I did deleat it by mistake !!! I went Whoops !!!!!! I will leave this alone !!!! :crackup:
All I can say is WOWIE ZOWIE !!!!! GOOD !!!!
Shelli,
SOOOOOOOOOO sorry I just now saw your answer......silly me I thought you meant you told me before weeks ago
I am going back and read it . Again sorry dearie !!! Just a matter of bad timimg !!!
Jodi, I've answered in your other post on this... :)
Like Daphne, I also like your idea -- a lot, actually -- but usually don't have time for swaps or "play" because bearmaking (and offshoots from bearmaking, like my blooming design business) is an important income source for me, and I need to sell my work to pay my bills.
*************************************************
Sorry I asked the same question about bear swaps but I guess I did not see the answer soooooooooooooo I still don't know. I guess you all come up with a time to join so I will wait till the next one, in less there is one going on now.
Sorry you are to busy to have some fun. Maybe later some time. I work a full time job in retail and do my business on the side.... but I don't travel at this point because I work most weekends. So I don't have the Shows hanging over me any more, but I do remember that PRESSURE. Sorry if I offended you in some way. For sure I never meant to .

Can we have something like an obituary section here on TT? A place where to remember friends that have passed away? Perhaps in the member list or the vendor forum or a separate thing. I fear this won't be the last of us to go and since we can't visit each other's graves, it would be nice to have something.
*****************************************************
Nice thought, It would be nice to be remembered for something we loved so much. Quy......Hope I spelled it correct .... can this be done ?
Jodi Falk
I am also Grace Kelly !!!
How do you do the swaps? I would be interested .
I used to work in a floral shop and we would take a thicker whire just strong enough to hold a form,and make it in a circle shape. Twisting it off in the back . Then you take green floral tape and wrap it all around the whire. After that take one flower at a time with about a 3 inch stem and wrap one at a time in to the wire wreath you first made. One right after the other till you meat at the back. You can add long ribbons at the back. Make sure some green leaves get in to the mix. I hope you understand.
I was just looking at the Bears and friends section and.......I can't believe how many wonderful teddys there are there posted . Take the time today to really look with your heart and enjoy the art of teddy bear making.

Has any one ever thought about designing a pattern , then making it , then trading your pattern with one person to see what they do with it and they do the same thing at the same time? I think it would be fun to see what happens. If a mimi artist trades with some one who does bigger bears it could be shrunk down . And if some one who does larger bears ...well the pattern could be bumped up. Then If we ever sell any thing off of that pattern we could say it was designed by --------- --------- but made by you,maybe stating it was a Teddy Talk Project.( pulling more people to this sight) Or It could be something never sold. What ever the two artists agree on . But don't show the bear until both bears are done. It could also be another animal if you are unconfortable doing a bear.
Just thinking....... you know how us creative people are. :crackup:
Jodi Falk
Great pictures , thanks for sharing.It is really beautiful there. I will have to share some picks of beautiful Gahanna Ohio :crackup: But really there is beauty every where on God's green earth. We just need to open our eyes and take the time to see. So thanks for the opportunity for an eye opener today
Bear Hugs jodi falk
My teddy Bear years have been my best years. I also am glad I am back trying to give it one more go around. My prayer is that you all enjoy MY blessing and my gift and decide to add a few Bears by jodi bears to your hug !!!
Thanks Again for looking !!!
Bear Hugs and GOD's Blessings I send your way !!
Jodi Falk
I think it may be customs also. Because if it is the company I am thinking of , well they are pretty good guys !!! I never , ever have had problems with them. Just email them again to let them know it has not yet arrived. Sorry for this torment !!!
Jodi Falk
That was a huge project for you to undertake. It is something well worth while having in the achives here at TT.
Can you image how many people are going to learn from your tutorial. MMmmmm staggering to think about it.
:clap: :clap: clever girl.I liked your improv with the thread jointing. I am interested why not just use the button on its own? why button and disk?. I think that is a new trick for quite alot us.

Wendy :thumbsup:
*************************************************
I used the button and disc because I was afraid the button alone would pull through the hole I punched in the arm for the thread to go through and like wise on the inside. But I guess you could use bigger buttons but I only had small at my house at the time.Good thinking !!!

Thanks I love it !!!
:hug:
Thats strange. Was it re listed? With out a fee? EBay does some strangse things sometimes.
Any time you guys, I am here to help out in what ever way I can.It was great fun doing the mimi with you watching. Hope it was easy enough to follow.I could have taken more pictures but it would have gone on for ever !! AND IT ALLOWED ME TO COME UP WITH THE NEW JOINTING SYSTEM !!! I was thinking in my head,... Now I don't have joints this small to use, sooooo what can I come up with ??? And The picture formed in my mind. I wasn't even sure it would work ... but it is great, I will use it again and again in my smaller bears. Thanks guys
