Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Hey, yeh...look at SuperShane!  Getting trim!

I am totally landlocked.  The only water I drive past is the reservoir...and only if I drive for over 20 mins... sometimes the sailing or rowing club is out there enjoying our "lake"..... 

But... Mother Nature gives me rainbows too... thank goodness.  The other day after a particularly wild wind, hail and lightning storm... I saw my first triple rainbow... one above and a double almost immediately under it.  That was pretty amazing... and brilliant, vivid colours too.  On other days I am like Wendy... watching the antics of different birds in the birdie bath and garden areas.  They are like mini clowns when it comes to "going ons".   Must fill their little pool today - it is going to be another hot one. They love to come for a drink and a little swim.

Jane ...check out all the info under needlefelting ... especially all of Bobbie's great info...there is a ton!

yeh..... the long stuff is a pain.... and don't cut it !!.... then you have all the blunt ends to try to felt...arrgghhhh.....  but check it out in the info......

I just love your gardens and your birdies!  To us in Canada...  we could only dream of such pretty ones in nature.  We have friends who have them in cages..but not the same.....  A robin is about as colourful as we get I think where I am.. well..the occasional hummingbird..  but those parrots would be just amazing to see in a garden!   Love all your pics...

oh, now he is cute...... great job!

Must be great to machine sew them... an hour....ooooooohl....how I wish!  I hand sew all of mine so far....and even minis take many hours then.  I am going to try some bits on a machine soon.  Think I need some tips on how you use the mohair effectively though...it can't be like dolls and just fold it over...what a waste of mohair that would be!

I would probably like to give designing heads a go.....

Okay.... I am back to look at this for the umpteenth time Bobbie.   This time I am getting smart...I am copying it and going to print it for my files of info....  haven't quite got it figure yet..but haven't tried two pieces of fabric either.  I am sure once I try ...it will be fine.  Tx for all the detailed info....

You are just an ebay shopper at this point...buy it back immediately....well...wait and put a bid on near the end so you don't have to pay more than necessary..but make it a good one in case someone else is bidding as well.

Awwwww  that made me weep....   They are probably so tired and worn out they don't even care any more... how great is that.   all buddies in a crisis.....

Tx so much Tami for your constant quest to find these animal pics that are so special.  Really, this post is my smile or my happy tear each time I log onto TT.   You're a peach!

these really are great posts.....love animals...love the laughs....

Kim...that is hilarious!  I would have been giggling away doing those feet too...great job on them.

Wouldnt' a bit of Scotch tape on them be a bit quicker and easier?

I have never tried it... but could u use some spray starch on the back of the lace so it doesn't get onto the rhinestones? ...or ther is a product from the craft shops called Stiffy... have not used that either..but you could check out the applications for it... probably even on line..
perhaps if the sprays are too while...try to dab on some with a paint brush.?

Definitely a different you Charlotte..and I agree totally...a much younger looking you..

That was a lot of hair!

I am cracking up over here...OMG the looks on their faces... hahahhahahah too funny!!! :crackup:  :crackup: the cat's claws are out.... lol.....

Perfect..if they are a member...they probably wouldn't want that information shouted about.... tell them if they don't answer your emails that you will "out" them as a thief and then if there is still no response after a reasonable amount of time...... let us know who it is.  At least that way...nobody else will fall prey to their game.

Your calendar girl is really cute Sarah Jane...and the pics are great.

love the tiny tea set...and the old gramophone...

I, too, have a guy that can cook and bake...   he makes the absolute best carrot cake in the world.... every year for my birthday....yummmm..with real cream cheese icing and all...

He is pretty anal about messes and whatnot...so is also very tidy when doing it..I just go away..because I tend to think I need to help but I am just in his way .... besides..he knows what he is doing... and he cleans up....

That was pretty funny to see....

woohoo way to go Kerrin!  Not sad at all putting them out for folks to see at your fair table.  Why not?  Be proud of your accomplishments, I say!

Ohhhhhh I feel the same... most mornigs!  lol ......

As long as you are not driving the car too Gijzette....lol

not yet...but I bet if we are linked...they will do the works.... it had to happen.  We can't just have any good clean fun and get away with it can we?..    people... some days....

Well, let's just leave it at that...I have nothing nice to say about plenty of them most days.

We're talking dedication here Jared!  Nope...never tried that....

Oh oh...I think I recognize myself!!!  :crackup:
