Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

This little guy has just made his debut on my website.......another boy bear,

We hope to do as well if not better as we did last year, we raised enough money to help 10 bears...

This weekend I will be taking part in the TBACA online show for Valentines Day.

No sneek peek as I only have the one bear in it this year and it is a donation to Save the Bears of Asia.

So if you want to help the cause check out the bears available and donated by lots of talented artists.  All monies raised from the sale of these donated bears will be helping out those bears that have had it hard for too long.

So as well as helping this cause you will be able to purchase a bear to add to your hug.

Hope to see you at the show.

such an interesting post...I do the mirror test too, but I don't have a set rule for the position, the ears go where ever it suits for  the particular bear I am working on......I love the low ear placement some of you do.....

lovely Susan, she looks like a ballerina....

Brilliant idea Daphne..must list one and see how it goes...

I have to say the bears, rabbits etc. that have been posted of late are simply awesome. I would love to comment on them all individually but I would be here forever....They are all so inspiring.

Well done everyone...         :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Finally got the camera out and snapped my little lost bear that finally arrived...hope he hasn't left it to late to join all the others on the Christmas tree.

Thanks everone...your thoughts are appreciated a lot..

Will post a piccie this afternoon of the little bruin I received...

Have just listed little Suri on e-bay.

I enjoyed creating her and especially getting back to knitting her little dress.

Please drop by and say hello, she would love to meet you all.

The postie left me a little surprise today...a little bear from lostbears.com

Thank-you so much, as soon as the batteries are charged up on my camera will post a piccie of this dear little fellow.

Thanks once again...he is much appreciated.

Still no ornamount from Lena, very worried now.

Maybe Lena you can contact me by email to check the address you sent it to...

Love to see a pic of mine...it hasn't arrived yet......getting a bit anxious that he may be lost...From Russia to Australia is a long way to travel..

Pleased to hear that all the ornamounts have been posted........

I keep checking my post box..........hopefully he/she will arrive soon..

The trees look fantastic...

my little ornamount hasn't arrived here in Australia yet...hope he/she hasn't got lost..

What a lovely picture Sue Ann, I especially love the footprints in the snow.

Its hard for us Aussies to comprehend such cold weather at Christmas as it is Summer here and generally very warm at this time of year.

Regarding the storms you are all experiancing...please keep safe and warm..

We do feel cosy and comfortable in the new house...I am having fun in the kitchen and learning how to drive the stove.....

Well, we have moved back into the house and things are getting back to normal.

Just the outside decking, and front verandahs to complete, but no rush for these.

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas Day with your loved ones.

Thanks everyone...I will post the next lot of piccies when our furniture is in place....

I don't think I will ask for a Chrissy present this year..getting back into the house will be enough...

Feeling heaps better than 3 weeks ago....testing the food intake and so far no problems...

Still a little uncomfortable finding a good sleeping position but am happy the gall bladder is not there anymore...

I am getting so excited...
Wednesday is the day we can start placing our furniture..will be finalyy able to put the cars in the garage...

Yes, the ovens are fan-forced and convection, also a slow cooking oven...must read the directions on how to drive it.

The hot plates are gas and the ovens are electric......

As well as 2 quest rooms we have a fully self-contained unit on our block..so lots of room for all.  There is also a caravan that can sleep 2-3...so come on down-under..everyone is welcome...

Thought I would share our reno piccies...hopefully we will be moving back into the house in 10 days...
