Thanks Brenda,

I am so sorry for your loss.She looks so lovely in the pictures.Owning pets is very hard but well worth it.
Remember "those we love don't go away ,they walk beside us day by day"
Thinking of you all

Tammy you are an angel the one listed on ebay was just right.I am going to buy one of them.I loved the bunny in your stool picture ,it is very similar.
Thanks for helping out.

Poor Louise.I had that once after moving house.You will have to be very nice to yourself for a while.Glad you are back

I have a real hanckering to make a rabbit like the ones we used to have stuck on our cots.I don't know if it was just a British thing or not.My cot had big stickers of pink and blue animals on it.Everyone had the same kind.I once saw them for sale in an old shop about 30 years ago.I wonder if they can be bought still.I cannot find them on ebay which is surprising.I have a notion to try and reproduce one of the lambs or bunnies depicted.Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I am not a believer in a higher power but you do seem to be being tested somehow.I have everything crossed for a happy outcome.Stay strong if you can

Hi Daphne,
I have four dogs two rescues and two headstrong pointers.Doggy problems can be overwhelming.I have followed the dog listener ways and now have a happy well behaved pack with me as leader and no problems whatsoever.Buy the dog listener and stick to it to the last letter.It si by Jan Fennel .She is very like your Cesar Romero.My problems went almost over night and we are all so happy now.
The main rules are hard to stick to till we all realise how wrong we have been and that their happy is so different to ours.Good luck

Well done girls.I can never get the magazines out here in the stiks so it was nice to get to read them.Little Marvin sat and read all about his brothers with me(uh oh slipped into mad bear lady there!).

I am still eating too much!!but have stepped up the running and weights.I am very fit and pretty much toned apart from my bum,but or ass depending on what continent you are on(I have my own one and carry it behind me).If I could just stop eating too much I would have cracked it.
As Scarlet said Tomorrow is another day.

I watched an interesting programme about eating the other day.It was a profile of a thin person.On the whole slim or thin people tend to eat what they want when they want but never feel the need to eat when they are no hungry.That is the key I think.Deprivation never works.I should have Barbies figure for the amount of excercise I get (I am offensively healthy with it though so we don't get everything).i JUST NEED TO STOP MUNCHING FOR GREED.

He is s lovely!!!I am in the mood to make a red bear now

We get snow every year and are regularly cut off with no power.Today I could not get out till the snow plough arived.It was a hairy drive with huge snow drifts to pick up my daughter.The wind s blowing so hard the snow seems to be getting through cracks in the door and we have a snowy hall!!I still love it though.I just wish it was like this at christmas time instead of spring!!!All the wee daffy's are frosted over.

I am so sad to here this news but as we say here he has had a good kick at the ball and done well to reach this age.I don't think any of that makes you feel any better.Hope you get through it okay.Thinking of you

Lucky you the bear is fab and so is the wee lamb.I love the way she makes her bears noses and long snouts.

It is great to hear your good news .Be happy !!!

I've been full time bearmaking for almost ten years now.I started when I seperated from my daughters father.I decided if she was going to have one parent I would be a very good one and stay home.We have had scary times when we were very poor.We get no financial help from my ex and it has been hard going a lot of the time.I asked her recentley if she felt like she had missed out on holidays etc but she says she looks back on a very happy childhood so it has been worthwhile.I work at least eight hours a day mostly six days a week and try to have some time off at the weekend.In the summer I get up at 4.30 so I can fit it all in.
I say God bless America a lot as the lovely citizens from the u.s have paid the mortgage for many years with some help from Canada ,Australia,France ,Japan,Denmark,Ireland and lastly and leastly (if thats a word) Britain.
I still enjoy it and have to say TT has helped keep me going for the short time I have been a member.
I think it would be a lot easier if there was still  a husband and a second income to take the pressure off.Maybe I will meet a mad hatter of my own haha.Not that I am looking I think I am set in my ways and do not mind being alone a lot.Maybe one day though..
I am very lucky to do something I love and be able to live in the country with all my dogs .

Keep up the good work Holl.Everyone is rooting for you.Positive thinking from all over the world!!!

Well done to you and Peter.It is great to have good news!!!

Nice to have Penny join in again!!!

Look at my wee bear Marvin.Marion sent me him for my birthday.I am so touched.I love him to bits.I keep picking him up!!!
He is only six inches tall which is small for one of Marions bears.I have always liked her bears in photo's but up close they are even cuter.He is so beautifully made too.
I hope this picture cheers everyone up amidst all the sadness on the board.He certainly made my day.
