Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Here's a group shot of my Winter Warmer bears.  I'm not home to get them all together so I gathered them digitally.

Huge congratulations to you, Clare ! ! !

Thank you so much Jude and Yvonne for your encouraging comments ! ! !

This is Casey, an 11 inch bear made of matted mohair.  He's ready for the BAO Winter Warmer show.  There's a preview of all my Winter Warmer bears at:  http://www.swanvalleybears.com/html/sho … y_bea.html

Congratulations Heather ! ! !   She is a BEAUTIFUL baby.

How cute ! ! ! !

What beautiful children ! ! !  Yep, Samuel looks just like you, amazing.

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to you. Cat ! ! !   A baby ! ! !  How exciting.  Take good care of yourself ! ! !

Sue Ann, have a WONDERFUL  time.  Don't you just love road trips?  I do.  Look forward to seeing your pics.  :photo:

Here's another:

Wow, congratulations, Clare ! ! ! !

Jodi, I was up at 4:00 am too but it was because of my restless leg syndrome.  Eeeek.  We could have had a chat if I'd known. 

Jenny, it's true, the last time I remember having a milkman was probably early 60's.  He used to leave the milk on our porch in glass bottles. We had a bread truck too called Peter Wheat.

Thank you, Kathy ! ! !   You see, he was a Halloween bear (in my avatar), but since the Winter Warmer is Nov 3rd, I had to dress him more appropriately.

Thank you, Bea ! ! !

Thank you Chrissi and Jeannie ! ! !

Sweet William is so cute, Lisa.  I love the fabrics you find.

Wow, what an amazing bear ! ! ! !

Thank you, Claudia and Gail.  I'm pretty excited as this is my first grandchild.

This is 11 inch Artemus, ready for Winter Warmer

This is 13 inch Hickory, ready for the Winter Warmer Show.

My daughter requested a bear for her baby shower that is coming up on Oct. 28th.  So . . . this is Sullivan's bear.  (She is having a boy, due Christmas day, and his name will be Sullivan.)

BEAUTIFUL ! ! !

Chrissi, I just adore your minis.  Both of them are absolutely perfect but I WANT Romeo.  Just so precious.      

Claudia, what an adorable little bear ! ! !  And I love her little story too.

Huge CONGRATULATIONS to you and your family ! ! !

How exciting.   Your baby granddaughter is absolutely beautiful ! ! !  What did they name her?

I'll be doing the same thing with my daughter in December, only I'm getting a grandson (my first grandchild too).  His name will be Sullivan.
