You find the most beautiful fabrics, do you purchase them here in the uk or overseas??

Sorry to sound like a dumbo  :doh:   but I don't have the Ted Menten book, what does he do??

Hello!!

I want to buy a new sewing machine to sew my bears, and Dilu has been helping me  :hug: , but I can't bug her again!!   Poor thing!!   She's probably sick of me!!  (By the way Dilu, I'm in touch with the sewing machine man, he's going to keep a look out for a machine suitable for me!! - he's sold all the other ones!!)

I have noticed this on ebay UK, do you think it's a good buy??

I know a lot of you are Viking fans!! 

What do you think??

Ooooh Brenda, I'm in love with this bear!!!        I LOVE old fashioned bears!!   Absolutely charming, you lucky thing!!

I haven't heard of them before, have they a web site?? 

Yay!!   I heard it's Australia Day on TV this morning, I'd love to hear more about it  :dance:   

We don't get a Great Britain day - do we??  Have I missed something??   

Ha! Ha! Ha!  Love it!!!  :dance:

Hi Judi,

I looked too, took me ages to get to the artists page.   I looked around, there was quite a few artist bears on there, only one I recognised was Michelle Lamb's and when I clicked on it, it took me to her ebay page.

Hope you get this sorted  :hug:

We had a whale swim and get itself a bit stranded in the River Thames in London.   One of the first places it was spotted was outside the Houses of Parliament.

Rescue workers have worked endlessly to save it and get it back to the open sea, but it got very distressed, and was injured anyway, and it died this evening.......... 

I'm gutted  I've been following the story with my 2 kids, it's really sad.

Here's the news link:

You know I've never thought about that whole capital letter thing before  (CAN YOU HEAR ME!!!!!) !!!  

I will certainly look at that in future!!!   This is the first time I've listed bears at a higher price too, I get really upset when they sell for peanuts.....you will all know what I mean.     I know that January isn't the best month in the year for people money-wise (I know that feeling!!)  but thought I'd give it a try.

Like I say I am looking into getting a template done, I did look at robshelp, but got cross eyed and thought I'd have someone who knows what they're doing do it!!    

I will certainly take all this advice on board, thank you all so much, as always    :hug:

Yay, go Bronwen!!!   :dance:    Fabulous, you must be so pleased!!  Your little pup is soooo sweet!!!!   

Hi Fran!!

Many thanks!!  :dance:   I'm still watching all those lovely dresses!!!   <sigh>  They're beautiful!!   Have you seen them everyone??   Take a look at Fran's ebay page, they're dreamy.......

I see many lovely listings, I want mine to be a bit more 'happening'!! 

I am interested to find out what makes an ebay listing interesting to you.

I listed both my bear and bunny on ebay 6 days ago, they have had NO INTEREST whatsoever!!       I usually at least get a question!!   

I am going to get a template made, but I wanted to know what you think I should include in my listings, what makes a GOOD listing??

Any advice appreciated  :hug:

Thank you Bronwen!! 

Whilst searching through, I found this site, it's great for fre  bear knitting patterns, if anyone else is interested!!
