Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Hi Everyone:

I am looking so forward to seeing everyone's bears, this is so exciting.  Things have not been going to well for Tania and my self, so we decided to swap later on.  Her mom has been very sick and in the hospital.  And my mom had surgery, she is doing fine now.  However, my sister had a cist removed from her ovaries and found out she has cancer.  She has to have a complete hysterectomy at the age of 39. She so much wanted to have children, but its not in the cards for her.
I had been emailing Gina, and like she said, which is so true, funny how peoples lives can echo each others.   So Tania and I holdling off for awhile. 

Can wait to see all the beautiful bears

you're a dag" : - the manure that hangs from the wool at the rear end of a sheep or a friendly endearment ( the trick is knowing which one they mean, check to see if they're smiling) or anfashionable way of dressing

I do agree that this group is full of kindness, love and support in every way. Our expert artist are always there to help out, when questions are asked. This is one big family I am proud to be a part of.

But, I must admit, this is fun and entertaining to hear the terms used in other parts of the world, and the interpretions.  So, with that being said - Matilda, give us another aussie phrase - please   
:hug:
Laurie

Here in the states that term could refer to children with gas!    

Daphne, what are the big people called?

I am so glade I found this little place called home :dance:  :dance:
:hug:
Laurie

Eileen your daughter is a beautiful bride.  My best wishes for her and Monty at Boston U, what a wonderful way to build a new life together.

It is 7:34 pm in Wisconsin, I just finshed putting away the dinner dishes, and opening my first miller lite :dance:  :dance:

Then I will start to work on my bear I am making for my sister.   

Sleep tight everyone and don't let the bed bugs bite  
:hug:
Laurie

Daphne. :pray: and  :hug: for you and your mom and dad
Laurie

I agree with Eileen.  I loved them both, but MimzyII really caught my eye.  She looks like a  magical bunny a child would carry around everywhere, could not go to sleep without, etc  and kept with her to show her children. 

:clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Laurie

beautiful bear, I love the blue eyes, did you paint these?  I agree I like the black background also the best :clap:  :clap:
:hug:
Laurie

they are so adorable, I love the ribbons in Majestic.  What a cute name for a boy dog - Studly.  They both have beautiful colors.  I want a cute little dog.  Could you just see me trying to put top knots in my yellow labs?  I don't even think my cat would let me.  Guess I will save this for my bears, if I can ever figure out where a top knot goes on a bear.

:hug:
Laurie

Oh, now I understand, ,my daugther and I call them bonkers  So if someone puts a topknot on a bear, it would be a pony tail folded in half
Those yorkies are adorable, are they yours Sonya?
:hug:
Laurie

Hi Everyone:

Could someone please tell me what a top knot is for the head?
:hug:
Laurie
