That is beautiful ... so lovely to see that and a marvellous way to start my day reading about something happy for a change! 
I adore squirrels as we have three that come into our garden most days, constantly searching and burying nuts. They are so funny to watch, spend ages searching for a nut only to go and bury it again about six feet away! So much wasted energy! They should just chill out a little more! We watch them in the field behind us playing around with each other just like kittens, chasing each other round and round the trees and throwing themselves from one branch to another! Better than TV any day!!!
Many thanks for showing such lovely little photos.

Hello there Sandi, Laurie and Paula,
Thank you so much, you are lovely!

Wow, thank you Shelli for all that info. I love the sound of those alligator clips too, especially if it removes the need for all the tacking. Are they the sort used by electricians or am I thinking of something else?

Hi,
Thanks for bringing this little topic up, as when I bought my machine (Bernina) I enquired about the walking foot and was given the impression that it was only really used on things such as quilting as it enabled the thin layers plus the filling to be sewn together without any of them slipping in the process. But it sounds a good idea if it works for mohair too. If I want to hold any fabric "tighter", I have just been altering the control that puts more pressure on the presser foot. (I think most machines have these.) But I love "gadgets" , so if the general feeling is that the walking foot is helpful, then I may give one a go!!

Hi everyone!!
Weeeeeeeeee! I like this! Teddies rebellion!! I have this mental picture of all teddies jumping down off their Ebay stands and marching out to go on strike! Yay! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
I am one of those who feels a little intimidated about the prospect of trying to sell on Ebay (though I'm an ace at buying on there!!!). Your proposals sound like a brilliant idea and I am only too pleased to join the merry little gang marching off to pastures new.
Many thanks for bringing this whole subject up. Good luck everyone!

Dear Marlys,
I really am so very very sorry to hear your sad tale of little Harley, you are in my thoughts. I found it particularly sad because it reminded me of when I had to have my beautiful cat Cleo put to sleep on my birthday a few years ago. I am sure that your little Maisie will soon recover from her own little sadness at the moment but these things all take their own time and time is the greatest healer.
Sending extra big hugs to you and a special cuddle for Maisie. Take care. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Marilyn.
Aaawwwwwwww! Sigh! It's no good .......... I just looked at those little photos and just KNOW that I have got to get a little putty-tat real soooooooooon! Hate coming home to nothingness anymore ....
Thanks for showing such cuteness.
Hugs
Marilyn
