Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Awww he is so cute Nina....I was thinking of not bidding but I can see I may have to change my mind that fur looks lovely!!! And I like the idea of less shedding too.

Hmmm I really had to think about this...I am always stressed     But when my stress levels are over the top I lose myself in Teddy Bears so I guess I make more bears, but I also eat and clean (although the cleaning is probably guilt from spending too much time sewing!!!)    But when I get depressed, usually after being really stressed then I don't do anything and all creativity goes out the window 

Thanks Nina!!   That's good to know!!  

Ellen I'm sure you haven't missed out completely...there is still time...I have posted the link here for you to look at, If you are interested just email Nancy....

Eliza...Ebay is notoriously unreliable...don't take it personally your bears are wonderful, they were selling and they will sell again, I'm sure that it's just a factor of people not having as much money in their pockets at the moment.  :hug:

Oh good it's out...I'm off to the newsagents then to try and find it.....

My mohair from Wendy arrive two days ago  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:   Fantastic I love it......then we had a couple of days stress because the parcel I sent to her was a little tardy in arriving!!!  ...Now it is all done...thank you so much Wendy it has been wonderful to be able to swap around and get some more inspiration!!!

Krista thanks for organising this!!  :hug:

I do all mine by hand so I'm not wanting anything too thick or tough..

Thanks for the Info Tammy  ......I needed to know before I decide whether or not to bid n a beaver coat...

Does anyone know how thick is Beaver hide and is it hard to sew?? Is it suitable for making bears or not?

Now I do remember this Wendy but unfortunately I am having a brain freeze and can't remember the name of the magazine or who posted the info........Well that was a lot of help wasn't it??    

Hang on...was it Art Doll Quarterly??? or something like that...

I measure both unless a bear is made to stand only then I only give the head to toe measurement but if a bear is made to be seated I give a seated measurement too.

I love these wet look puddles Wensy....they are wonderful with or without arms!!!

Welcome back Marion...and good luck for your upcoming move to Switzerland!!

Oh I love these puddles Wendy.....Hurry up and give the poor little fella some arms will you...otherwise he'll starve to death!!!  :crackup:  :crackup:

OWWWWWW Shelli!!!! That looks like it Hurt!!!!!!

Patsy I am so sorry to hear this I hope it isn't anything serious....I am sending lots of good thoughts and prayers your way....and hugs until you feel better  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Oh My Goodness......I am a happy girl if I get 12 watchers on an auction... :redface:  :redface:   I can see I have a looooong way to go, although I started out getting about 2 watchers..so I guess I am improving...

I would love to swap!!!

Yes Krista Wendy and I have been in touch....the mohair is on it's way!!!   

I'm glad you asked that Sarah now I don't feel so silly for wanting to know the same thing....I keep getting pictures of rivers flowing through everyones back yard!!! 

Tooo cute I love her.....I'm glad you finished her!!! 

:pray:  :pray:  :pray:  Saying some prayers also Sarah...I'm making them but I keep selling them    Can't complain though I'll just have to sew a bit faster!!!

She is gorgeous I love the little white fairies!!! And I love the way you've set up your photo...

Mostly I don't but sometimes a bear needs undies....I think it just depends on the outfit...

I do my eyse first but I make sure the head is very firmly stuffed before I put the eyes in...I haven't had any trouble with the eyes coming loose yet but my head is completely stuffed then I just add the joint and close it.  I also sink the eyes in quite a long way before closing....seems to work for me...   I like the fact I don't have to try and hide knots and things at the back of the head....
