Aawww, they are both so gorgeous. If I'd seen them at a fair, I would have definitely bought them! 
Mind you, there would probably have been a long queue in front of me!
Just beautiful!

Hi there,
I would just like to wish our American friends
HAPPY NATIONAL TEDDY BEAR DAY!!!!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
I have just read that today is indeed a very important day for teddy bear lovers in America, and can imagine so many wonderful
people taking their teddies to work!! What a lovely thought, the world would be a nicer place if everyone did that!!!
So have a wonderful carefree day - the sun is shining its little heart out at the moment over here, an ideal day for teddies!!
Lots of hugs, :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

This really is quite a worry isn't it, with so much conflicting information everywhere it is difficult to make a decision. But something I found interesting
the other day was an article showing snippets of editorial relating to the Swine Flu. I was quite amazed to see that quite a high number of
nursing staff here in the UK are NOT wanting to have the vaccine. I was quite surprised by that .... it certainly makes you think "Why? What do they
know that we don't! ".
Hi Vicki,
I am so very sorry to hear about your gorgeous dog Ben, in fact I feel really sad after reading your account of what had happened to the poor love. It's so terribly hard isn't it when something happens to our beloved pets and I really feel for you and your family. Loads of us know how you are feeling. I am keeping everything crossed that Ben makes a good and swift recovery and am sending all possible positive vibes and hugs your way. You take care now.
Hugs, :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

My word, what a gorgeous bear and mouse! So different and so wonderful! Really fantastic work, I love them.
I particularly like the bear's expression looking at the little mouse, how lovely! He actually looks delighted to see his little friend enjoying the new toy. Aaaaaah!
And now that you have printed their names, it wouldn't seem right to change them, they seem to "fit" absolutely perfectly!

Several unashamed nudists shook hands and diverted eyes!!!!!!! Ha! :crackup:
Have I just lowered the tone?!! 
I don't normally like to see animals being made to look silly, but I have to admit that this one made me laugh!!
Hugs,
Marilyn
Congratulations Marion on your wonderful success! May I also congratulate Alison and Krista, and all the other winners too!
Very well done!

Tilly is so pretty! I don't think it matters how long it takes to make a bear, being delighted with it in the end is the important thing and I can see why you are thrilled with this little one!!

What a beautiful little bear ... so pretty and feminine, with dream-like qualities.. The needlefelting looks brilliant too.

Hi Shelli,
Such lovely work as usual, but I particularly love the humour of your little mouse! He's cute and I like the pincushion idea.

Wow Shelly,
Your new design is absolutely amazing and as Jenny said, very sophisticated. Totally superb.

Oooooooh Kimi!!!! You have been blessed with the MOST adorable little bundle of fluff!!! I'm in love!!!
You can't get much cuter than that .... fantastic little photos, and as Yvonne said, please keep the photos coming.
Ooooh, I'm so jealous!!!
Big hugs,
Marilyn
Hi Janice,
Ooohh, that was very heart warming. What a very special lady and what a place! I can't get over how relaxed all the cats looked, normally you would expect there to be a little bit of fighting or hissing going on somewhere, but nothing, so that was quite amazing!
Yes, the daily clicking on the little "game" to help the sanctuary from sponsors is brilliant too PLUS I see you can also click for dogs too. So that will be another little clicking exercise I will do every day when I turn my computer on! Many thanks Janice.
Thank you for posting the video link, lovely to watch.

What!!!!!????? I think it all depends on the way any word is used and in what context. I don't mind the word "girly" at all. At least it's feminine!
In fact, I think these days, people are getting way too sensitive over what we should and shouldn't call things. The world has gone mad!
So, go "girly bear", go!!! He!
Hugs to all
Marilyn (despite having a few decades under my belt too, there's nothing wrong with feeling girly!)
