Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Thank you so much Katy and Carol.

Thank you Becky. With these little ones, I have tried putting the wire in the arms so they can hold or manage their tiny accessories  :crackup:
Then I bend their arms more toward the center.

Best Regards

I didn't lower my prices but I am creating slightly different bears now, using less costly materials.
I've decided to do a show in a couple months also.  Perhaps this is where the folks are who are still actively collecting?
I agree - ebay sales have gone a bit flat this past year.

Thank you for asking the question. I have really enjoyed reading everyone's reply.

Take Care

Hello everyone. Just finished this little boy, who is all ready to go out sledding.  ( note - I am NOT ready for snow, but he is :)

Thanks for taking a peek at him here.  He will be listed on ebay this evening.

such a sweet baby !  Love her 

Thank you Katy and Becky. I really appreciate your kind comments 

Happy Fall everyone 
Just want to introduce you to my latest mini - standing on her own at 4 1/2", and comes complete with a handmade dreamcatcher with genuine peacock feather.
She wears a fringed leather dress and has a tiny satchel over her shoulder, both are removable.
I used turquoise suede on her paws, to tie with the beads on her dress and accessories.

Thanks so much for taking a peek at her.

Kind Regards,

Lee Ann

I hope you are already beginning to feel better.  My husband had this condition and it did go away eventually. I noticed it when it appeared to me he was only smiling with half his face.

Turns out, he told me he had become stressed about a computer problem and clenched his jaw tight. The paralysis came on later that day.  A week or so later, he had terrible pain while chewing and....end of story, it was a tooth problem, a small sliver had been driven down in to the nerve causing the paralysis.

It sounds like many folks on this site have either had it or known someone who did. Hopefully some of the feedback you are getting will be helpful. 
And - I too send best wishes your way  :hug:

Lee Ann

PS - meant to add the tooth had a crack all the way to the jaw bone.  The minute it was pulled, he said he felt "like a new man".  Has since had an implant put in, and no problems since.

Just wanted to tell you your bear is wonderful and fairly priced.
I agree with what some of the others have said about ebay.
I was selling well there until this year.  Started having to re-list bears for a second week to sell them, and then the last two did not sell at all.
It's weird though...there are dozens and dozens of watchers ??????????

Try Bear Pile. It is a lovely site.

Darling bear    

Both bears are awesome !!   What a wonderful idea !

Lee Ann

Thank you Becky !  This was a very, fun project !  All the pics are wonderful !  Everyone has such creative ideas.

Thank you so much Ariane.   

Thank you Becca and Katy.  I wasn't sure about making all 4 paws of different fabric  :pray:
But I used to do some quilting, and have many co-ordinating fabric scraps.  It was fun to try 

Thank you Katy.

Hello everyone
Here is little Punkin - all ready to go find the perfect jack-o-lattern.  My husband contributed to the effort by donating a pair of his jeans.... :crackup:

thank you for stopping by to take a peek at her. 

Kind Regards
Lee Ann

Hello everyone !
I have had such fun creating Daisy from fabric included in my package from my lovely swap partner Karon.  I had so much fun going through all of my boxes finding just the right accessories for her. And the background fabric was just perfect, kitties, flowers, and a garden scene that made her look like she is outside.

I hope you like her !  Thanks for stopping by

ahh  yes.....Totally makes sense.
this will solve another problem I've had....I can sometimes get one eye perfect...but the other is slightly looser
So much to learn.... I have Baby #4 designed and cut out...I will look forward to trying this new technique very soon.

Thank you so much
