Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

:clap:  :clap:  :dance: Great job on the teez store, your husband can be proud, i love the way the site changes and the prices are so reasonable.
Keep up the good work, he will be able to sell quick.

Poly pellets are the best for floppy, you can even purchase them on Ebay, they are polyethylene plastic pellets.  Lucky me I work for a plastics company so I get them by the 50# bags.  I am sure if you write to plastic companies, you could probably get them shipped to you in 50# bags or even smaller.  Look in your area under plastic companies and give them a shout.  We used to sell to a doll lady for years. 
Hope this helps in some small way.  Make sure to ask for round pellets or water ring cutters, not chopped as they have sharp edges.

I am shocked that anyone could say anything against you!  I have nothing but good things to say as all the rest of us TT's do.  Let it go Jane and remember all the good  kind words and forget that one bad one.  It takes a lot of fun to be here and talk to all of us TT's, keep those pictures coming, I loved them.
Kisses and hugs to you Jane, not to worry, you are in great standing here!

:crackup: 32, thats not toooo bad, they sure were fast, I could not concentrate.
great game.

:crackup: That was so great, the advertising was fantastic.  Very clever piece.
I had to play it again.

:crackup: I use those same gloves to pull the weeds out of my cactus garden so as not to get too many prickles in the hand.  I will now try them in the bear department, great idea!

:crackup: When the supplies keep arriving at the door from all over!  You can not hide them fast enough fromyour other half!  LOL

:crackup: My goodness, how sweet is that, all the pets seem to blend with the ones of the same color.  I love the black and white and then the carmel color and oh yes, the simamese.  Great pictures.

A zipper foot is also good for small width.  Try that, although I am using a singer machine.  Hope it helps

I get the Poly-fil brand fro A C Moore in 10 lb ctns at about 18 to 20 dollars, then when I have a coupon for 40% off thats the place I go and its cheaper then.
I find this brand to be very successful.  Good Luck with whatever one you choose.

Love the fox, I also chrochet and love it, but do not do it quite as often as I used to.  I did chrochet my avatar to the left for my xmas exchange ornament this year.  I love to chrochet aphgans.  Have not made a little bear tho, will try one day.
keep uo the great work!

:crackup: Me too, Kerilyn, I just wanted to win the lottery and retire.  I am a lifer, and I really laughed when it said I was taking the test at work because I had nothing better to do.  This is true, I am retirement age, and I have my house on the market for sale, and as soon as it sells, I am retired and moving away from the city life to just sit and make bears all day.  My life has been on hold for a year now waiting for this house to sell, and until it does I have to work to pay for it.  But my day is a coming.  All my bear stuff is in storage so its hard to keep going. 
That test had me pegged!!

oh, Paula, each one of your bears is better than the next, that two tone face is the greatest, I am staring at it to figure out how you did that.  Such a sweetheart of a bear.  Thanx for the look see!

:crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:  that was toooo funny. LOVE IT!

How lucky are you winning that great bear.  I always wanted to make a bear out of old jeans, you bear will get me inspired again.  Raffles is a great name to go along with him.  YEAH!!!

That was so great I watched more than once.  Just like children having a great time running thru the sprinkler and then mom had to try it too!  It was wonderful and so cute to see the little ones running back and forth, I also want to know if they came back another day to play. Thanx for posting.

SWEET, BUT NOT FOR LONG  I too had a skunk once, tough little guy, we would walk him on a leash, he still had some smell even tho the glands were removed, he got too big and rough so I gave him to a petting zoo.Cute little baby tho.

  You got to love them all, the cats are fabulous! great colors, I do love the rats and mice, such great pets.  I had rabbits as a young girl, they are so cute.  You must be such a great person with all those wonderful little critters to be with. I am so glad to see the pics.

    Iva, congrats to you and that sweet baby girl.  what a sweetheart.  Good Luck to you and yours.

Daphne, the pain had to be excrutiating! I get the chills just thinking of it. I am glad you kept your head and were able to remove it.  I will be more carefull now as I do leave my foot on the peddle. I hope there wasn't any nerve damage, keep your eye on it.

love the house, long and great windows, only now you have to cut down that big tree in the front so you can see out the windows.  If not it is still beautiful.
Enjoy and take it easy with the unpacking.

So glad to hear all is well and you are on your way to your same ole self.
Do not lift if the doctor said not to, you will be sorry later.
take care!

I love the whole experience, keep the pics coming.  How unique.

  :clap:  :dance: Not strange at all, I myself have a catus garden in my front yard, its circle of about three feet around and i kept putting cactus in it from my sisters yard, and some from a garage sale, the circle is nearly full as it multiplies each year.  And when it blossoms those wonderful yellow blooms, it sure is pretty. 
So enjoy those cactus, there are a bunch of us.
Even tho I live in New Jersey, our winters are not that bad so they live on another year.  Take care.

:clap: What a great article, I loved reading it.  You sure have lots of pets, sounds like something I would like.  Our family loves all the creatures also.  I was impressed with all the things you are doing with the bear making and can't wait to see whats in the future.  You are a great example of a true bear artist. Thanx for sharing and I am sure your family is so proud of you as they should be.
