Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Oh my, you have been a busy bee, Sue !

It's so difficult to find new words to describe your bear cub.    I have used "gorgeous", "adorable", "wonderful", "magnificent"      
I don't think I have said "exquisite" !

Such a shame you have to go back to school next week ...      Hopefully you will soon be able to make a full time career with your bear making.  :dance:

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter, Bashful, Tramp & Tabasco

He is gorgeous, Joanne; he has a certain aristocratic dignity and yet he looks adorable at the same time.   

Wonderful bear ...  :clap:

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & the equally delightful Harry 

That is so so sad.     

Me too Ali : if I lose the badge, you will easily recognize me : I will be the guy drooling over Dawn's teddies.   

I must admit that I feel a bit sorry for the little guy (is it Jamie ?): the big one seems to have gotten all the luscious fur.   

Seriously, they are both adorable.     

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter, Alvin, Leon, Jack, Jill & Molly (eagerly anticipating the arrival of her boyfriend  )

I have absolutely no more room for even one teddy !  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:
Yeah Right !!

There is always room for one more, especially such a sweet lovely lady as Amy.     
I'm in.  :dance:

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & Vincent

NO, it wasn't me !      Although I wouldn't mind if they were delivered at my door: they do look lovely ! 

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & the bears

Another adorably sweet teddy, Dawn; why do you make them so darn cute ... curse you 

Ernie would be the perfect mate for my little Molly (who is a bit lonely ... ) 

Can't wait for September 12th ! 

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter, Alvin, Leon, Molly, Jack & Jill

Hi Emma,

You've got another friend on FB !  :dance:

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & the bears

Oh my, oh my, oh my, I know boys shouldn't cry, but I can't help myself. 

I am sooooo glad that you have found the strength and time to post this,

CYNDEE

!!!   :dance:  :dance:  :dance:

I guess you know how worried we were and the hardest part was not knowing, but we understood how difficult it must have been for you (and probably still is) and we vowed not to give up on you. 
I am so pleased that in our very small way, we have helped you get through this period !      
I am certainly no angel (more like a little devil  ), but your kindness touched my heart and that is something I will never forget. 

So a big

"YELLLLLLOW"

back from me, Flynn and all the bears.   :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

We are keeping all our fingers and paws crossed that your health and strength will keep up, so we will read lots more wonderful comments from you.   :pray:

BIG BIG HUGS,  :hug:

Peter, Flynn & the bears

P.S. You know my motto " there is always room for one more bear ! "  :whistle:

She is gorgeous, Sue, what a great combination of colours, a lovely expression and delightfully big ears !     

It must feel great to give her a big cuddle.   :hug:

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter, Tabasco, Tramp & Bashful

Hi Richard, Could you post some photos of the bears in you hug, I would love to compare them to mine. 
I have three bears made by Sue Jennings in my hug, but she just keeps improving on her designs, so I am desperately tempted to adopt a bear like Buddy ! 

I also have several of Paula's wonderful bears (and one that was commissioned, who is absolutely gorgeous).  I think we might be a little jealous of each other's hug  .

Are you going to the Hugglets show in September ?  I would love to have a chat with you (from one teddy bear guy to another  :crackup: )?

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & the bears

Wow, he is magnificent, Sue !     

The open mouth with the tongue works wonderfully well : Buddy is sooo cute (I don't think Filbert can stay mad at him  )
The photos of the two of them together look great; it would be a shame to split them up.

Your bears just keep getting more beautiful and more adorable (and I am not just saying that  ).
I wonder what your next bears will look like ... 

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter, Tabasco, Tramp & Bashful

Hahaha, a good one Jane,  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:

I am glad you haven't lost your sense of humour !   

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter, George & the bears

Great idea Marilyn, the artists can put a leaflet on their stalls and the visitors can use the badge (I generally don't wear my best suit to Hugglets, so one ruined T-shirt won't make much difference in comparison to my ruined bank account at the end of the day  :crackup: ).

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & the bears

P.S. Thanks Guy for the PDF file !

Ok here is the design for the badge.

It's very basic, just the TT logo with my name under it in a Word-document.
Anyone who fancies adding photos of teddy bears on it and knows a bit about Word, can make it as extravagant as they like. 

The size I made is 8,50 x 5,40 cms (3,35" x 2,13").  I am going to print it out, stick it on piece of cardboard, cover it with some plastic film and stick a pin to it.
Even I can't mess that up ... I think  :crackup:

If you send me a PM, I will send you the Word-document and you can change the name by opening the document in Word.

Looking forward to seeing you all there !

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & the bears

Awwww, can I have one in my garden please ?? 

After he has washed his berries, he can do my dishes ...  :crackup:

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & the bears

Lovely pics of two lovely girls ! 

Happy Birthday Tiffani !!  :dance:  :cake:  The cake certainly looks yummie.   

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & the bears

That's a very good idea, Karon !   

Last year I had a T-shirt made with some of my bears and TEDDY TALK written on it; you couldn't miss it. 

A badge would be ideal (when you want to remain incognito, you can just take off the badge  ; that was the snag in my T-shirt idea  :crackup: ).

I was thinking about a badge with the Teddy Talk logo on it and the name of your TT account under it.
I will see with what I can come up with over the weekend.

Pat,  I have been trying to find the pins, because I know I saw them somewhere, probably on the Intercal site; but of course I can't find them anymore.  Moreover it might be too late if they have to be sent from the USA  .

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & the bears

My sentiments exactly Rich !!    
When will Paula make bears for a Belgian teddy bear shop ??     (don't think there is one here  ).

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & the bears

I know it's a cliche, but I just want say :  ... aaaaaaawwwwww... 

Jane,

I hope you will soon recover; George and I send you a big hug to cheer you up !  :hug:  :hug:  :hug: I do hope we will see you at Hugglets ?!!

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & the bears

What a wonderful thing to do, Kimberly, you are a true rescue angel !! 

I'm sure that Jesse is thrilled to have found a new loving home for herself and get all the help and love she needs when giving birth to the pups.     

I can't wait to read more about the pregnancy and the birth.   :dance:

Big Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & the bears

They are all adorable, Aleta, but I LOOOOOOOVE CLARENCE (in the red jumper)      
I can't understand why you kept him hidden for so long, such a sweetheart.

Too bad he is already reserved ... 

If the potential buyer decided not to adopt him (though I couldn't understand why), remember me please ! 

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & the bears

Dante is really beautiful, Susan.  His fur looks so luscious and inviting ! 

And he has a very sweet expression; adorable. 

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & the bears

I do and I will and when you hear a loud "thump", that will be me falling of my chair !   :crackup:

Have a nice relaxing weekend !

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter, Alvin, Leon, Molly, Jack & Jill

Penny is so adorable, Melisa, such a cute little bundle of fluff !   

I am so envious of your "zoo", but it must take a lot of time looking after all these animals. 

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & the bears
