Oh!!  He is gorgeous!!!  What a beautiful little face.  I can't believe he is only your 3rd mini!!!  He is so cute!!!! bear_wub

samanthapotter

Looks the same to me aswell - perhaps you have adjusted something on your computer by mistake!?!

samanthapotter

Well done to you Krista - the world needs more people like you!!!!  What a beautiful cat - she looks very relaxed and contented in the picture.  And four lovely little kittens.  You must have your hands full with that little lot!!!

I too, like many of you, have watched this on the news everyday.  Each day I have hoped I would turn on the TV to find out she had been found safely - but still nothing.  You just cannot begin to comprehend how her parents and family must be feeling.  Its just too awful.

samanthapotter

Oh Daphne!!!  Its hard to know what to say, except that we are all thinking of you, and hoping and praying that your Mum will be ok.  Take care. :hug:  :hug:

samanthapotter

I saw it on the news last night - the devastation is so immense.  Its unbelievable.  Such a tragedy.  I hope no one on TT is affected. :hug:

Do you do tiny sculpting around the muzzle area?  How small is she?

Firstly,  Thank you ladies for your kind comments!!

Clare, I haven't actually measured her, and have now wrapped her up ready for my Mum tomorrow.  I'm guessing she is about 7cm sitting without ears, about 9.5cm sitting including ears.  She is quite petite!!
I do sculpt her muzzle.  First, I needlesculpt the eye sockets and pull a few bits to shape the muzzle.  I then scissor sculpt, to create the final shape that I want.

Hi all!
I wanted to share with you a picture of a bunny I have made for my Mum.  It is her birthday tomorrow, so I will be giving it to her then.  I haven't made a bunny for ages, so it was great fun making doing something a bit different.  Hope you like it!!

samanthapotter

Oh Daphne!  What a lot to cope with!  Sending you lots of hugs and positive vibes. :hug:  :hug:
I hope things will calm down again for you soon. :hug:  :hug:

Quite a few of us use www.freewebs.com
If you can write a blog, you will be able to use freewebs with no problems.  Its very straightforward, and easy to use, and easy to keep updated.
I would highly recommend freewebs!!!

samanthapotter

Sending lots of healing hugs your way Katrina!!  I'm so glad you will make a full recovery. 
I hope you're feeling well enough soon to start making your lovely little bears again soon - just think of all the bears you could get made in 3 months of recovery - as soon as you are feeling well enough of course!!!
Hope to hear from you soon.

samanthapotter

Maria - congratulations again!!! 
Thank you, and Ellen also, for your kind comments about my bears!!   :hug: You've made my day!

samanthapotter

Oh Congratulations!!!!!!!  Well done you!!!  You must be so thrilled!!  Can't wait to see pics!!

Samantha I'm jealous your last name is Potter  bear_original  How cool is that, I am afraid I would have to name one of my sons Harry.

http://www.teddy-talk.com/upload4/HP5D-2921.jpg

:crackup:  :crackup:
Before I met my husband I always thought I would like a son called Harry, as it is one of my favourite names, but now that my surname is Potter, I just don't think I could name a child Harry Potter!!!

If you remember in the last book, Dumbledore had appeared as a portait in the headmaster's study.  This must mean that he is really dead, but these portraits can of course talk and give advice, so Harry will still be able to talk with Dumbledore, its just that Dumbledore couldn't actually 'do' anything.

It has been said that the last chapter is a summary of what happens to the remaining characters in their lives, and it was suggested that one character will become a teacher at Hogwarts - I would love to see Neville become the herbology teacher!!  If Harry survives, it would be nice to see him as Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher.  Because there is a curse on the job at the moment, which means no one can hold the job for more than a year, if Harry kills Voldermort, that curse will be borken, and Harry could have the job long term!!

Also, the fake Horcrux locket had a note inside signed RAB.  I'm guessing this is Regulas Black (Sirius' brother), so this may have significant meaning aswell.

Just my thoughts!!  Its fun to speculate, but I bet the book will be better and more complicated than any of us could guess at the moment.

samanthapotter

Me too, me too!!! 
I am so excited about the last book - not long now!!!  I will be sad when the story is over - especially if Harry dies!!!
I've got all the others on audio cd, so I listen to them over and over (i must be on the 15th time through at the moment!!!), and yet I still notice new detail or new connections on each time through - they are great books!!
I'll reserve a copy soon, although I am sure the shop person will smirk when I give my surname: Potter!!!

TBAI is the best though, it's sooo much fun and well we usually get up to no good there (but it's always everyone else's fault as they get us going and then before you know it all heck breaks loose and people are telling us to be quiet and calm down  :crackup:  :crackup: )

:crackup:  :crackup: I can't wait!!!! bear_grin

We are going to Toronto at the start of August, and we are then travelling around to see Niagara Falls (on the Canada side), New York City, a couple of places in Virginia, Washington DC (for the Expo, etc.), and then we are ending the holiday with the TBAI, so we won't be staying long enough for TBOV.  I think our suitcases will be full of bears that I have adopted by then!!!!
I knew that Christine was also going into Toronto!!  I'm sure your journey will go so quick - you'll have great fun all travelling down together.  We'll be going to TBAI straight from Newark, where we are staying to explore New York City.  We will be driving back to Toronto the day after TBAI, to catch our flight. 
I'm very excited about it all, but I'm also quite nervous - I've never had a holiday like it before!!!  It should be an amazing experience!

I forgot that you were coming over to the States,  you are doing TBAI aren't you?  or was I mistaken on that  (my mind sometime gets so mixed up  bear_grin )

Thats right!!!  We are coming over for three weeks, flying into Toronto, and then doing lots of sightseeing and travelling, to include the Expo, Golden Teddy Awards ceremony, and TBAI.  We are so excited!!!

Edie, I would highly recommend a Mac.  I'm not great with computers, but if you have a basic knowledge of how to use a PC, you will find it quite straightforward to learn to use a Mac.  Everything seems so logical, that I was simply able to 'work it out'!!
You will probably be willing to give it the time that it needs to learn to use it, as you don't waste much time with a Mac - no sitting around waiting for things to happen!!  I never used to use the internet very much with my old PC, as it was such a struggle, and so time-consuming to get it going, but with my Mac, I just switch the wireless internet on, open up the Mac, and away I go!!!

Shane, I have an iBook, and I love it!!  I am planning on bringing it with me when I come to the States in the summer, as a lot of our hotels have wireless internet access, so I can keep in touch with the world!!
