Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

All the best, let us know how you go on. :pray:  :hug: 

Another mini maker! :dance: You soon get into them although my next bear is going to be a big one! Keep at it and keep posting pictures. :hug:

Glad the move went well. Can you tell me what fabric Maxine and Thomas are made from? It really suits them.

Last year there was something on this, try searching although I'll see if I can find it. Paula All Bear might know. I was told a royal blue background can help and outside when its slightly overcast. Good luck.

Blimey Kim, no wonder you feel down. I hope they sort you out soon. I was feling a little queasy yesterday (self induced from Friday night ) and its not nice. Hopefully someone has been through something similar and can offer you some advice. Hang in there. :hug:

Good idea about the support stockings. If you have a pound shop near you they do them in there. In fact I've one that I had for my arm but its too tight, I could always post that to you Penny if its any good.

Pandy Potter is what my dad used to call me when I was little. Heres one for you is it pronounced scone like say dome or scon?  I'd better get a bear started, never mind finished, I want to do one for the traditional bear challenge.

Lanie....I've just had the most horrid image in my head. The word raised.....ahhhh.....it conjured horror movie thoughts. Your not a closset Goth are you?

You've started something now Diane.

AND whats wrong with the lovely Chris Ecclestone? OK his ears stick out but he can whisk me off to other worlds any day.

Oooohhh that Lanie's a right trouble maker.      :crackup: There you go a number 3 on ya list! Nice one Lanie. :hug:

Love the bus episode! I almost feel like thanking my would be robber (someone tried to rob me, I got the money back) as I feel so good at getting one up on the scum. I'm OK and if my dad says 'but Mandy you could of been hurt' one more time I'll crack up.  Its the only drama I get! Sometimes we need to get heavy, sometimes light and bonkers.

Right I'm off to eat some chocolate and get Amy's Doctor Who comic, corrrr Chris Ecclestone rocks my boat!

Hee  I still feel good about. In the night I woke up and felt a little 'what if' but this morning back to feeling good. I'm not brave, I just reacted, no thinking, no decisions, just reaction. I'm going to read a few more of those quotes, I can't go around feeling like kicking butts if anyone does me wrong. I need to calm down a bit!

Send Terry our love, that means a big sloppy kiss. Thinking of you both... :hug:

We are trying Jane. Its very complicated, well Mark tells me it is! We will get the telephone first, free calls worldwide, then the broadband later. Its a good deal and Mark has looked into it. I'm just going along with it. We will end up being off broadband for a few weeks so have get dial up which is only £5 a month to tide us over. If you want me to ask him anything about it just ask.

Inspirational, in one word, in all ways! :hug:

10 You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you.
"You have the inherent power to teach anyone how you like to be treated." When you accept abuse, you are responsible.
we must accept nothing less than respect. If we don't receive it, I suggest we leave the person or the situation, rather than try to change them, assuming we have communicated our feelings several times without attacking the other.
"Teach those around you through behavior, not empty arguments, that you will tolerate nothing less than respect."
Ask yourself: Why am I allowing them to do this to me? rather than: Why are they doing this to me again?

This one, after last night. To cut a long story short, I stopped someone trying to rob me of £400. OK I got knocked over, but my behaviour was mean, angry and violent! In other words I do not accept you are going to rob me and I will not tolerate being the victim. I did'nt allow them to make me a victim and there was no point asking them nicely to hand the money back.

OK so its not quite the right story to the meaning of no.10 but I still feel good about something that was bad. I did'nt accept the abuse they were dishing out! :dance:

Lovely idea. Back to my roots, so to speak. I'll dust the old sewing machine off!

Brill. Naughty me, I've just updated my SOLD bears.

Penny is trying to catch up with all our emails and sends her love. Her mother-in-law is'nt too well but is hopefully getting all the help she needs in hospital. As you might understand Penny is at hospital a lot. So lets send Terry's mum loads of good vibes and hopefully, with time, she will get better. :hug:

Sherwood is so wonderful, many congratulations. Well done to all those who got nominated too.

Crickey Jane you must have been a young mum, he looks great but you don't look old enough to be his mum! Amy would love to see that. Have a lovely day Saturday.

It looks great Sandra. I love the colours and its easy to get round. Well done :hug:

I'm glad you feel better Cindy. Just dive back in with bear making, I'm not as active in the summer but its nice to do the bits I do. Hang in there. :hug:

Good on you, I think you are beginning to to see the funny side of life, your cat is on pills to cure depression and you have had to cope on your own! Oh to be a cat! Hey was'nt that a Disney song? You hang in there matey, your cat will get better then its time for it to look after you! If we did'nt laugh, we would cry!   You look after yourself. :hug: I think you are one tough cookie, even if it does'nt always feel that way. :hug:  :hug:

Lovely! I love these pipe cleaner bears, I've got some sticks that I use in my bear arms, I might have a go. You have inspired me!
