Hi Helen

i am so glad Lace arrived safely all the way to new zealand, its not very often i felt and she is my 3rd felted bear, so i'm really pleased you like her.

big hugs & christmas wishes to you and your family
from Susan (portugal)

i want to wish you lots of luck Peta and i think its good to change and start a new, the last thing you want is to be reminded of old bad times, just give yourself a change over time on your web name so people can find you.

great way to start your new year 'OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW YOU' times can be hard but think of all the new experiences you are going to have. i must say i met a great guy after lots of bad years and we have been together 14 years and got married 2 years ago and still very much inlove, so take you time in your new live.

HAVE FUN, find yourself,
big bear hugs to you

thankyou for your kind comments everyone

Hi Sheryl

i am having the same problems and it was nice to read that i am not the only one, you do start to doubt your work. i live in portugal and we only have christmas fayre and another show in may, apart from that i rely on the internet. there are no other beary people here so i have to aim at my fellow english man to buy my bears (the portuguese dont do bears    ). i am on Etsy but that to is slow.
so i hope 2010 brings bear tidings to everyone and our little creations join new hugs. :dance:

well i dont know who remembers my dog antics back in march when a ferral dog arrived Bobbi at our home with 8 tiny pups..... well my husband took the dogs for a walk saturday morning and when he came back he had an additon. one of my dogs Dude was in the bushes and came out with this little thing and it followed them home. so at the moment she is staying with us until we can find a home. we have called her Nanu which means minature. she is very frightened but we are making progress. here are some pics.

dont know where i find the time to make bears and work these dogs are a fulltime job.....oh well

congratulations..... well done!!

how does the awards work and where can i go and have a look. i live in portugal (but english) so i miss out on some things, they aren't bear people here i'm afraid. so i rely on the internet for my bears.

HI Lenora

as a bear artist i dont normally plan my bears faces they just seam to happen and i think that is the key, not many artists i think (i could be wrong) really plan a face they just appear ......god now whose sounds like they have lost it lol
