I hope I haven't left this too late it has taken me longer to get around that I thought but if not I will post in the next day or so. What the heck I will post anyway.
Well done Bubble-Up bears!! It was rather mean of me!!
PEONIES
Personalities eventually own nothing
except 'selves
Pickers
Pigs
cages keep everything reeking spectacularly.
How's this for a challenge?
INCESSANT
I never caught excellent sewing skills and needlework never
If you use white and don't like the look use a black fabric pen to go over the stitches.
Compositions
Creativity only makes people organise sewing
terminating in one needlework spectacular.
I only chose this word because I find I difficult to use!
Did you get tested for Swine Flu? Only because one of the symptoms is up and down days.
Hope you feel better soon :hug:
PHILOSOPHER
Pins hide in lots of spaces only pricking heels exceptionally rarely
Hmm which word???? exceptionally?? too cruel!

Aaahh just what I need more fuel for my addictions! Not only do I love bears but I also love reading. Peter, I have a book that may interest you (actually I have 2 of them so may be able to do a deal) - it is called Teddy's World and it is by Mirja De Vries. It is a large, almost coffee table book with heaps of pictures of Teddy Bears I don't really know how else to describe it but it is one of my favourites. It has pictures of things like very old teddies on outings to art galleries and beach parties, picnics etc. It is very humourous and has some fold out pages that give you a wonderful montage of bears. There is very little writing in it as the pictures tell the story. Most of the bears are vintage and there is a place for the tattiest looking teddies in there. It really is a magnificent book. If anyone is interested in buying a copy let me know butI only have the one spare and postage may be expensive due to size and weight.
REJOICE
Regularly every June overgrown insects celebrate
how cruel was that !!
Furniture stores are fantastic for ultrasuede as a lot of lounges come in it and they usually have heaps of samples - best of all it's

seamsters envelop all.
Sorry about the last one must have been in la la land!

Angelic sprites prance around rainless, arid gardens under stars
I mostly use tweezers but I also have a 'nostril' hair remover that I use occasionally!
PS make sure that the legs are stuffed very firmly especially at the top.
Definetly change to nuts and bolts for joints as I have found that cotter pins just wan't do it for bigger bears. It sounds to me like you are on the right track with the bigger feet etc but I don't put extra wieght in the legs as it seems to make them too heavy and they won't stand then. The other thing you can do is to put a plastic template inside the feet so that they are smooth and flat which creates a good surface for standing on.

wanderings are nightly things ending daily
I am enjoying this game so much!!

Gee he gets around! I have never heard of such a thing but funnily enough he appeared in Alice Springs just the other day and will send a postcard very soon!
I bought a couple of bears on ebay that were sold as 'suitable for reborning'. When I got them I fell in love with them and there is no way I would change anything. The reason I bought them was because I had heard of the dolls but not bears and I had an interest but didn't know if I would ever do anything or not. These bears were plastic with a cloth body and well dressed.
I guess changing a manufacturers bear is OK so long as all the copyright rules are followed.
