Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

I've always wondered about mildew problems developing

A friend told me about the udderly smooth cream too. You can get it a Walmart.

Did you get the pot of gold too? He's gorgeous.

Jane, I'm really sorry for your sadness. A friend once told me if you think of a way to make someone else feel better, it'll rub off on you. I like to believe that when our time comes all our favourite family members will be there waiting for us. And of course no one is more family than a love-ya-no-matter-what kind of pet. Hang in there.
Ann

I absolutely love her. The colour is so soft. I knew the wait would be well worth it.
Thanks Kim. I'm glad you liked yours too.

When's the next bear swap taking place?
thanks

What about Truffles. He reminds me of rich dark chocolatey truffles.

try a little iron on interfacing, very light weight, don't let the iron get too hot, unless you don't mind the hair getting curly. Experiment on a little piece. Then you won't have to frey check.

I love to put tails on my bears. They're basically another ear stitched in the appropriate place.

I use to put the eyes in last so the little fella couldn't see the needle coming. I like to do the nose first because if the nose isn't right the face will never look right. You have to be in the right mood to do the nose, I like them with nostrils. So now I pretty much do what ever I'm in the mood to do.

I just use a good white craft glue that dries clear and flexible. I spread a little with a tooth pick over the back of the fabric and gently rub the lid until I get it wear I want it and let it dry, no sewing involved. So far so good.

She has a beautiful profile.

I can hardly wait to get your swap bear. I love everything I've seen of yours. You have a great imagination. Let your mind go while your fingers sew.

Hello Danni
I hadn't heard about your magazine but I do know what gossips are like. I think we've all run into a few over time. You obviously have a lot of supporters in this worthwhile cause. Maybe you should take the lovely offer to let someone else handle that bad emails and deal with what you enjoy. I've always hated to see a bully win, and basically that's what these people are. Anyway stick around and enjoy teddy talk. Keep your chin up. I hope the offenders are ashamed of themselves.

I absolutely love dogs. I've always had dogs when I grew up. I've had 2 since I got married. They were older dogs from FRIENDS OF ABANDONED PETS. They were both llassapsos. My first dog was named Teddy. He was great. I had him for 7 years before I had to make a very painful decision. 2 years later I had my first female. Man did she have attitude. She loved to chase chipmunks and squirrels. I only had her for 3 years before I had to make that awful decision again. It's been about 2 years since then and I'm having a really hard time not getting another. Our household is really busy right now and I don't think I'd have enough time to be fair. But I really miss having a dog. I wish I could borrow a neighbour's dog but there aren't any.
Here's Teddy under the christmas tree. He had the saddest eyes but the was the greatest.

I love the bead work kiddo

Here's my first attempt at felting a bear face. I just used a marker on the nose. I think I'm going to try a little acrylic paint. I haven't tried any shading yet. I don't know if I 'm brave enough. I really enjoyed Judi's course. If you haven't tried it yet, you'll enjoy it.
thanks Judi

Hi
I'm putting together a cookbook called RECIPIES AND REMEDIES
I'd love to hear from anyone with and old family favourite or those cures your gramma use to talk about. I've been wanting to do it for a long time. I figured hit two birds with one stone, get down the recipies and maybe earn a little money for a good cause. I'd appreciate any help you'd like to give
You can send those contributions to anngianetto@yahoo.ca.
Thanks everyone
Ann

I think he's adorable. Let's see a profile shot.

there's just something about a red head with green eyes. I love her

that face would make such a sweet rabbit too. The tail if gorgeous. I love the fur.

That's great news Sophie. May this be the first of many good bits coming your way.
LOL

I love to collect dolls and teddies and small things. I love mechanical things, which is why I'm fascinated with the schoenhut wooden dolls. I dream of some day having an original Kathe Kruse doll with the painted cloth head. I think they're wonderful. My guys have quite a few beanies as well. I love to fix dolls and teddies. I guess I really just love a challenge. I love minis. You can fit so many in your showcase. I have a lovely display that I can stare at and enjoy in my bedroom. I love toys. I could go on and on and on and on and .......

You need to make the hubby up a special calendar of DATES TO REMEMBER. I engraved my wedding date in my husbands ring. So far he's remembered. He even gave me an anniversary ring for our 10th. I didn't get it until our 11th but that's OK. Just think of the things he has remembered, I hope. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.
