Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

There is just something appealing about a tattered teddy bear.

I like him!  He's adorable.

That is too cute.  It's just too bad that we can't tap into the thoughts of the puppy.  He's probably thinking "Get away kid, you bug me."  Thanks for sharing that video.

Joanne, I agree.  I would place baby geese right up there at the top of the "sweetest" list.  These little ones are so sweet and so friendly.  Tami, I wish you could hold one also.  They are incredibly soft.

Well it is springtime here, and that means time for babies.  Here are my newest little ones, 11 ducklings and 5 goslings.  They are just so cute.

You amaze me.  These little ones are so lifelike.

Beautiful!  They are absolutely gorgeous.

I think such a little guy needs a big name.  I'm sure he will be a little big man.    Most of these tiny dogs don't realize their size.  I have 3 big dogs and a yorkie.  The yorkie thinks she is the same size as the big dogs.  They do humor her and lay down to make her think she's winning the wrestling match.

She is beautiful!

I sent two packages out at the same time in February.  One was going to France and one to England.  The one to France arrived in 5 days.  The one to England took over 2 weeks.

Beautiful girls!  They are so fortunate to be placed in a loving family, and to now be not just best friends, but sisters  also.  Congratulations.

Stanley is adorable!

Beautiful girls!  Kittens are so much fun.  Your house is going to be like a carnival with two little clowns around.

I have done this type of bear, and it really isn't too tough.  You just need to keep in mind, as Kerrilyn said, that the seams are more visible since you don't have mohair to cover them.  I sew a lot of my bears by hand, but for the fabric ones I did use the machine.  I'm sure you can make these bears with no problems.

He's a real cutie!

Charlotte is adorable.  It is nice to see you back in the bear (or bunny) business.

Wonderful job!

Well, it's been a long time, but I have finally made another creation.  I have been so busy with other things in life, but I decided to work on something even if it was just a few minutes a day.  So here is Mopsy.  She is 11" tall and made of a beautiful mohair.  She wears a bow tie made from an antique handkerchief.

So nice to hear from you again.  I understand how hard it is to stay away from bear making.  I am taking a bit of a break also.  I have so many things going on in my life (my first grandson is one of them).  I have also taken over the cooking of the Wednesday Hot Meals program for the needy in our area and our local soup kitchen.  So this keeps me busy along with the farm market season coming up real quick.  But, I still cannot totally leave the bear making.  I am just now finishing a rabbit that I have been working on a bit at a time.  I guess old habits are hard to kick.

He is beautiful!

He is gorgeous!

:clap:  :clap: Congratulations!

He is gorgeous!  German shepherds are one of my favorite breeds.  I could not ask for a more loyal dog than my shepherd, Andre.  He was always sure to keep me in his sight.  You are really in for a treat with this guy.  Enjoy.

A big congratulations to you.  :clap:

My first grandchild has made his appearance into the world.  He was born Thursday morning.  I must say he is beautiful.  Guess who I'll be making a bear for.
