Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

How lovely Amelia, did you make your Faery too.   Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Everyone,
                    I have worked on 4 at one time, but mainly 2 is my limit now ,I find it works better, but I do sometimes cut out 6 and put them in clear bags with all the eyes,joints etc ,ready just to sew when the others are finished. I really like to complete a bear before starting on another. But what works for one does not neccessarily work for others.  Hugs Rita xxx

Hello Jane ,
                    How very nice of you to think of us all. I would like to wish you and your lovely family a very Happy easter too.  Hugs Rita xxx

Well Done Tami,
                             I,m sure you must be absolutely thrilled, I am delighted that you as a TT member has won such a great honour too.  The dress is out of this world ,Magnificent is the proper word.  Hugs Rita xxx

Hi anne,
              I hope you and John had a great time in London.  This would be great in any bearpersons house ,but I somehow think the men would not like it much.  Thanks for showing us.  Hugs Rita xxx

Well ,I can honestly say that there is never a boring day here on TT. Penny, what have you started, I will be wetting myself too if I dont watch ,or maybe just get incontinence pants ,they would do the trick.  Your the greatest really. Its cheered me up no end.  Hugs Rita xxx

Well Kim, What a beautiful Fairy she is too, her eyes are stunning and the poses are really quite unique too. I have fallen in love with her too ,but I am well behind all the others.  Please let us know your customers reaction when she receives her.   Hugs Rita xxxxx

Oh Tamil,
                  Thank-You for letting us see these great piccies. I just love Pandas,aren't the babies just so cute.   Hugs Rita xxxx

Hi Judi,
                I too have a heavy heart after reading your story, Everything that happens ,happens for a reason and Penny,s Bear "Luna" was meant to be with you to-day. In the years to come you will always have comfort from Luna and it will care for you too in a different way. 

  Hugs Rita xxxx

Hi Shari,
               Your bears looks absolutely wonderful to me ,but then I am one of the many artists who cannot seem to sell on e-bay either. I have been making bears for 9 years and I have only sold one bear on e-bay in all that time. Mind you I got fed up trying after about 8 or 9 attempts I lost the plot I,m afraid. So you are not to think that it is your bears that is the problem  because they are wonderful bears.  Chin Up Girl, best foot forward .Hugs Rita xxxxx

Hi Kerren,
                   What a beautiful face your little panda has, as you probably will have gathered I just love Panda's and Polars.   Great Work.  Hugs Rita xxx

Daphne,.
                You will be in my prayers too, but you must not neglect your own health either. I know how tired you will be by now ,but I will be thinking of you .  Take Care .  Hugs from Rita xxxx

Hi Dilu, My friend you have to be the bravest person I know right now. I think you must be in a lot more pain than we know about .  Anyway, I hope all goes well with your surgery and we will say prayers for you every day.   You were such a support to me before and after my surgery that I feel quite helpless now its your turn.   My very best wishes go with you and I,ll speak to you soon.  Hugs Rita xxxx

Please all you girls that are in the area of the Tornado's keep yourselves and families safe.  I,ll pray for all of you. Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Lauie,
                Your bear is very cute for a first attempt, you have made a good job of her ,are the eyelashes false or just the mohair brushed with black??.  Good luck with your next one now.  Hugs Rita xx

Fandabbidozie Eileen,
                                   You and her Dad must be ever so proud. But then look who her Mom and Dad are!!!!!!!!.  Give her my heartiest Congratulations.  Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Jane ,What a nice son to have that does all those lovely fonts for you. I am still learning the computer beleive it or not. It took me 5 weeks to get my web-site up and running about 5 years ago,and a lot of tears and tantrums on the way.   So I think you people that have all those skills are just supreme in my eyes.   Hugs Rita xxx

They were used in this country in the 50s.  Hugs Rita xx

Hi Jane ,
                Yep, thats them ,they are very old mind you, the uniforms had a small eyelet hole embroidered on them and thats where the buttons went and were then secured with the pin. After those came in rubber buttons. Well I speak from UK.  Hugs Rita

Hi Jane, it sounds very likely they will be Old style nurses buttons or chefs  used them too. They were made to be removable so they could be laundered,that is why the split pin is used. Mind you I can tell you better if we could see the piccie ..hee hee...  Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Daphne, I was so pleased to get your message to-day, And so relieved that your Dad is back home again. I think though its your turn now for some TLC and recuperate properly from the last few weeks.  Take Care of yourself too. Hugs Rita xxxxx

Awwwwwwww Louise you will be missed so much by us all. Hope you are ok.  I send my warmest wishes to you.  Rita xxxxx

Yahhhhhhhh, someone else to join in Penny, pity all those miles are between us, I think a TT party would be one great hootenanny.  You could of course invite your special friend George.  I think he is Partial to a Scottish Malt Whisky.   Reet xxx

Da Da da da, you would be more than welcome to join me , just flit and flot across the border Penny,Anne might even come and join in too she is only about 35 minutes away.  Rita xxxx

Hi Penny,
                 Reporting for duty ,only to find you have gone....   probably fallen asleep waiting on us lot to reply.  Sunday's can be such a boring day ,unless like me you have some wine to cheer you up. Boy do we need something.  All my neibours are going away for Easter and we are to be keyholders for 4 houses, I am having my family through from Edinburgh next week so I shan't bother with any cleaning until after they've gone with 2 kids its not wotyh it. But I am looking forward to my 2 grandchildren coming though. Lots of Fun etc.  Hugs Rita xxxxx
