Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Thank you so much Peter ... very kind of you.  Now to dust off my Google translator! 

I'm really glad you like this pair, thank you for the kind comments!  Only a few days left until show day ... it's getting exciting!!!!

Thanks for the plug!  Much appreciated!

The article looks great Becky, congratulations!  (Wish I could read it - how I wish I'd paid more attention to my German teacher when I was a girl! ) :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

What a surprise!  Thanks for mentioning this Peter - the magazine haven't let me know it's been published, so I had no idea!!!  Do you have a link to how to find a copy of the I-Mag ... I'd like to buy one if poss. 

The Winter Bearfest show takes place in London on the 26th February, so many bear makers are busy, busy, busy right now! 

I have been working on some new, very traditional designs for 2012 and will be taking some to the show ... here's a little peek!

We've added a few more Valentine bears in the past couple of days ... 

Thank you for visiting!  Happy Valentine's Day to you all x

The Guild is having a rose-tinted week this week and invites you to share the teddy bear love with a special 'Be Mine Valentine' slideshow showcase!  Please visit www.masterbearcrafters.ning.com for a heart warming display of romantic teddy bears.

I'm delighted you all enjoyed the showcase!  SueAnn, your bears are beautiful, it's always a privilege to help showcase them. 

You are invited to watch our lovely 'Touching Tradition' slideshow of super classic bears, designed by Guild members!  Please visit www.masterbearcrafters.ning.com to enjoy the showcase!

Congrats to all winners and a special round of applause to Katherine and Shelly for being the only Brits on the list as far as I can see .. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

I'm glad you like him Becky, thank you!

I'm delighted you like her, thank you for your comments!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!

This is my first bear of 2012 and unusually for me, it's a teddy bear girl - for some reason, my New Year bears are usually boys!    Anyway, in case you're wondering, I called her 'Pollyanna' after the storybook character ... an optimistic bear for an optimistic new year!

Pollyanna is now available for adoption - please visit www.allbear.co.uk for further details or visit my Etsy shop where she is available for immediate purchase - thank you! :rose:
