Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Chloe, those are all so cute but the one of the dog tired from his morning walk made me laugh out loud  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:

Congratulations, Maria ! ! !

Awwwwwww . . . I can't wait to see more pictures of them.  What sweet babies ! ! ! !

Cheryl,  I just love it that you adopted Jackson from the shelter.  He will be one happy pup.  What a sweet face he has.

NO WAY ! ! !  $3.00 ! ! !   What a lucky find.  He is quite a handsome bear..

How fun ! ! !  Wish I could be there.  I'll be looking for pictures.   :photo:

Yipee . . . more $ for mohair.

Uhh, yes, that would be me, I think, maybe.

The person below me . . . well, let's see . . .  hmm . . . I can't decide . . . decorates their entire house and outside for Christmas.

My friend emailed these to me with the caption, "Why dogs bite people". 

How fun ! ! !

Hmmm . . . I'll have to go to the grocery store and buy something delicious.  Thanks for the motivation.

The person below me loves to sit and look out the window on a rainy day . . . with a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows.

Looks like an alpaca to me.

I love these digital challenges.  Here's mine.

I joined yesterday, Lisa.  Great idea ! ! !

I'm guessing my Boston Terrier, Buster, didn't like our new home. 

The first week we moved in, hubster had left his work shoes by the back the back door.  Early in the morning, when he was on his way to work, I heard him shout, "That dog sh** in my shoe ! ! ! "  Buster had backed up and carefully pooped right in Dave's shoe, not missing his mark at all. 

When ever we left him home alone, he would go downstairs and poop in my sewing room.  He had never pooped in the house EVER before this.  Now naughty Buster stays tethered in the kitchen when we leave.

We had an English Cocker spaniel who was the chow hound queen.  She would eat anything.  Once she ate an entire bird seed bell only to regurgitate it later underneath the pool table.   Once she ate a bowl of hard peppermint candies and heaved up the wrappers later.  Once we came home to find her walking into walls with an empty cereal box on her head.

So sweet, I sent it to my loved ones.

This picture reminds me of this one of my Paigie and Buster.

:crackup:  :crackup:      :crackup:  :crackup:   

Oh how fun is this ! ! !    It's gonna be a great show.   Here's a sneak peak of my bears for the show:

OUCH ! ! !

I've used a 2 inch binder with page protectors.  I put the patterns in a zip lock bag, then each one into it's own page protector with a picture of the finished bear.

Oh Charlotte, it's beautiful ! ! !   Amazing transformation ! ! !

There's a club in our community called "Collectabelles"; a group of women who meet monthly who collect . . . well, anything.  I've been asked to speak at their October meeting about collecting teddy bears.

I'm taking this as an opportunity to spread the word about artist bears.  I think I'll make a flyer too.  Great idea.
