Hi Thomas,
I'm so glad that your bears get cuddled:) I'm also a cuddler, and I have the idea that teddy bears like to get attention from us.
Like you, I have quite a few bears, so there are some that I pat or talk to as I walk by, and a few others that end up on the sofa or the bed keeping me company. (The last time I stayed in a hotel room, I had a teddy with me to sleep with.)

I really like the fabric you've used on this little guy. A very appealing bearie!
Becky
You found exactly the right recipient for those vintage doll clothes!
All three are lovely, but I'm partial to the traditional bears, and they're still recognizable anywhere as yours.
Becky
You always add so many nice details to your little bears. This guy is just adorable:)
Becky
Peter, I'll go along with destiny.
These two are incredibly lovely, and they look so grateful to have found each other.
It always pays to listen to those little voices you hear:)
Becky
A 26-year-old kitty? That must be a record.
Young or old, though, they work their way into our hearts. I'm very sorry for your loss.
Becky
Stunning work!
Honestly, my head is spinning just from the photos:)
Thank you, Jane, for the virtual tour.
Becky
A gorgeous kitten, Karen! Now, do please get your eyesight back so that all of us can see many more of your cats:)
Becky
You made it difficult, Laura, with only one answer choice! (I know, you asked what size I collect "most often," but still:)
It's a quick and fun little survey form, and I hope you get a lot of responses.
Becky
Oh, those curious kitties:)
I've never seen that movie, but it looks truly amazing. (I believe that's the late great bear actor Bart at the end.)
Thanks for sharing!
Becky
Hi Peter,
It was great fun to read your post:) I hope that the trip overall was as good as the bears you bought. I can't quite decide whether Garance or Song is my favorite, but that's not important -- they're all so beautiful!
Becky
Thomas, it sounds as if it was a fantastic day for bear people.
Your Chester bear is gorgeous! Stunning! Nice and big! (good bear buying you did:)
Becky
Hmmm... I'm sure it's NOT a silly question. It's an interesting thought. Maybe if you tightened your joint on the limb side rather than the body side...
There's surely someone out there who knows for sure, but just brainstorming here... What if you needle-felted a disk with a bolt or cotter pin sticking out of it into the body (so that the felting covered the disk but left the bolt or pin sticking out). Then you'd have to needle-felt the limb in a sort of flat way, slip the flat felted "fabric" and then the disk over the bolt or pin, tighten the joint, then finish by needle-felting the limb "closed" around the joint.
Can't wait to hear from the experts!

He is so cool, Beth! That's one of my favorite stories, and the monster is such a sympathetic character. Your Frankie captures his desire to just fit in, be loved, and go trick-or-treating:)
Love those big feet, too!
Becky
He does look like a dancer, Sue. He must be very lovely to watch as he flits about:)
