Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

This sort of swap sounds good.  Is it on?  Who is the organiser?  14th Feb. is not far away!!!!

I was disapointed too that it folded.  Kerynn and Bron were doing a great job....

I am going to continue to list over the Jan. but list for 10 days.  My little Panda has a bid which surprised me as it was so close to Christmas...Hopefully there will still be bear buyers online over the holiday break..

1 to get, and then just a few stocking fillers for the littlies.

Now I can concentrate on the food to get,   my waist (what waist she says ) is getting bigger just thinking about it .......

Yes, why not.   Can we do whatever size, mohair etc as long as he/she is floppy...
Count me in....

I would love to have a bear from all here on TT, yes I guess that would make me happy.  If I had to choose one it would be Judi Paul---Luxembears.

I love her tigers and the last little lion.  The air-brushing she does is so spectacular....

SarahJane, I have known now for quite a while and her bears are little cuties.  I think SarahJane would be classed as a super Mum as I recall she has 7 children and a father living in her house.
Love to be in your house Christmas morning, your a great gal..

Carolyn, we must have been typing together.  Lucky SarahJane has two fans...

Swaps are great fun Connie.  I have been involved in about 3 now and the making is just as good as the receiving...

Well, I finally found the camera and here is the gorgous ornamont I received from Connie.  I absolutely love him and am sure he will look great with all the others on the TT Christmas tree.

Thank-you so much Connie..

Yep, two so far.   I have great pleasure in showing friends my special cards from my special bear making friends....

Thank-you Laraine and Nancy for the beautiful hand-made cards....

I sent mine on the 29th November.......should be at its new home soon I hope...

What a fantastic tree, will have a piccie of my ornament from Connie tomorrow to add to it....I think I will print it out when they are all done and frame and hang it in my sewing room....a reminder of some wonderful bear-making friends from all over the world..

I'm in.  Getting the hair and eyebrows tinted at 10.am on that day but will come and join the party after lunch...

I'll bring some red.... merlot tastes nice. and I will bring some nibblies.  I have never been to a 12 hour party before, it sounds like a lot of fun... won't be cooking tea that night ....

I was involved in a swap with another forum and this is the little bear that arrived today.

Dianne Dnoyes made him from Alpaca and I just love him.  There was also a big bag of M&Ms,  yummy.

Camera batteries were flat,  so I have scanned the swing tag and this is why the piccie is not crystal clear.

I absolutely love him and his matching little rug for him  to sit on....

The swaps are a lot of fun to do, am looking forward to the January or Feb swap that was mentioned here a little while ago....wonder what the theme will be?

We live quite aways from the fires but the smoke from them has just about covered the whole state.  This is the view from the front verandah, normally we can see the town and mountains beyond.   Much cooler today so some relief for the wonderful fire fighters....

Thanks every-one, Anita from Bellbowrie Bears was happy with him.  It was a lovely soft fur to work with.  I nearly sent Anita a comb with him so he could be tidied up after being squished in a box for 7-8 days....

Wendy, thanks for the instructions, must have a try.    Love the aussie christmas poem...

What an adorable, cuddly bear.  Love the expression he has,

Connie,

Thanks for the info,  I will be watching for the postie.... :dance:

Here is a little bear I made for a Christmas Swap I was involved in.  He has reached his destination so I can post a piccie of him now.  He is also in the Holiday Challenge Gallery.
I called him "puddin" as he just loves Christmas pudding...

I have posted mine ........ haven't received mine as yet......

What an awesome lion Judy, I am green with envy as to how you bring you creations to life, just fantastic...

Well, this is our tree. I have had to put it on the side-board as we have 3 little grandchildren under 3 so it is up out of harms way I hope.

Yes, its plastic but it has lights on it, so will try to add a night shot tonight.

I wasn't in the Chrissy spirit a week ago but you girls have turned that feeling around.... Ho Ho HO....
