Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Hi Eileen,
                   I have already adopted you as a Scot anyway, you've kept in the family ,married to a Scot as well as having Scottish Blood in your veins,I bet it shows up when you hear the Bagpipes .He he.  LOL Rita xxxx
Thanks for the Congrats by the way.

Hi Again, You are getting even closer ,I live about 20 minutes from Ayr, Irvine to be exact, Isn't it a small world. I will send you some pictures of scotland later / Hugs Rita xx

Well, Youre half way here already then, what a pity you don't know where he came from. Lots of Scots from the islands went to Canada years ago and I think were among the first settlers there. This group is so addictive ,you may not be able to keep away. Hugs rita xx

Hi Shari, Where did you purchase Sumner's lovely Fax Fur then ?? I,m not great with the computer either ,but this is the place to be ,cos you can learn almost anything here. Have a nice week-end.Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Shari,
              Welcome to Teddy Talk, I love your bear on the Avatar too. How long have you been making bears?? And where are you situated in this big world. You will love it here.

Scottish hugs from Rita xx

Hi Danni,
                   I think a big "Well Done " is in order. I must admit it is nice to get some recogniyion for your work. This month I am Artist of the month on Planet Teddy Bear which is part of Teddy Bear Club International ,and I was feeling quite low before someone mailed me to say I was in it.How quickly it cheered me up.  You look so nice and its a great picture. Heres to You Danni.  Cheers.

Big Hugs from Rita xxx

Yes, This pen sounds good.Where can we purchase it ?.Hugs Rita x

Hi Judi, Whilst the subject came up, what is your favourite fur to work with ,and makes a nice bear. Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Eileen,
                   That was wonderful, We both thoroughly enjoyed the video . Just finished an order for 5 bears and this is not weather for sewing. Anyway, better go and get them boxed now. Speak Soon. Hugs Rita xxx

Hi everyone,
                          Just got to agree with you all , if your down ,it cheers you up. Great Friends who hope to have an International convention one day.  From a Very Hot and Sunny Scotland.  Hugs Rita xx

Hi All,
             I downloaded this programme it was 575 mb, after all my work ,it caused a computer error and it advised me to shut down my computer. Boo Hoo, I was so looking forward to visiting everyone. Its XP I am on and loadsa space too ,so I have no idea what went wrong.  Maybe Scotland was too far to travel .he he;):D

Hi Eileen
               Most of my little ones have wobble joints and Your way is my way too,i could not have described it better myself.  Hugs from a sunny Scotland.  Rita xxxx

Hi Dilu,and Eileen.
                                 We could be the best of pals ,cos I would feel at home in your house too. I have a workroom and a walk in cupboard that was shelved from floor to ceiling for all my crafty bits .it was meant to keep my workroom " tidy ".But all my friends just love to visit my workroom and see all the things I,ve been up to,they say its a friendly room to be in. Is there a Bear-Maker, craft person that keeps a tidy workspace ???. Back to my bears in the guddle of lots of other projects too.

Happy Hugs Rita xxx

Hi .Like Shelli, I too use fishing gut,it looks so effective on my cats.Hugs Rita x

Well Said Eileen, I can only agree with all you have said. We are here to support each other ,not condemn. Surely this did not have to be done through the group at all really. Lets put it all behind us now and start afresh.Let lessons be learned from it.  Back to my bears.Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Hayley, I bet you did not visit me in Scotland. He He. Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Judi ,
                 You hold your head up with pride as your bear are so stunning, you have given more to this group than anyone. You cannot let anyone do this to you, I'm sure I speak for most of us when I say that I look forward to reading your posts. Were all behind you Judi, and you can rise above it and anything else that comes your way. 

  Big Hugs from Scotland.

Hi, We could all wear our Avatar round our neck ,then we would know who everyone is.When Is this convention going to be ,I shall have to save seriously for this one. Wouldn't it be great fun to do it though,instead of just a dream.:D:lol:

  Big Hugs Rita xx

Hi Judi, Well I never ,Judi's Bear looks so impressed to at last have a friend to call his own.They look so happy to-gether or is it just me going all soppy again.  Hugs Rita.

PS. Dilu, I think it is an honour for someone as talented as Judi to give you such a high commendation. Hugs Rita xx

Hi Eileen,  Forgoodness sake don't use the family heirloom crystal vase:lol:. I use different sizes as I do different sized bears, but its really is easi-peasi. Hugs Rita xx

Hi All, Like Shelli, I use either a Jar or a Vase whichever is best for the size of bear and it leaves both hands free to work on ears etc. Well thats my Tuppenceworth, Hugs Rita xx

Hi Everyone,
                         Just to say I,m glad your all safe and sound and non the worse for your experience. It must be pretty frightening I would think. Glad all ended happily for you Laure ,what would we have done without you. 

    Big Safe Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Hayley,
                    Yes, it was Shelli who very kindly did it for me, I would not know where to start. My pictures are not too bad ,but thats about all.  Shes a very talented lady is our Shelli and one of the few generous people who do not mind helping out.  Hugs Rita xx

Hi, Like Shelli, I keep 3 different account logs. But I do my own Labels in different sizes on my computer,print them off on to photo quality paper ,its more like thin card really. I sign it on the front and write details on the back. Then I laminate it. I do use toosh tags on my bigger bears. There's no hard and fast rule I wouldn't think ,as everyone has there own methods .  From Sunny Scotland Rita xxx

Hi everyone, Hope you like my very posh Avatar, courtesy of Shelli.  She reigns supreme,I would just like to say a very big Thank-you Shelli. I love it so much, you have made a great job.  Big Grateful Hugs Rita xx
