Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Oh Penny ,I,m so sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved cat. Its so terrible when any of our pets die , I am sure she will be thanking you from up above for the nice life you both gave her.   I am thinking of you . Caring Hugs Rita xxxxx

Hi All, I am posting a bear to Falls Church VA then an Number ,is this in Canada.  Rita xx

Hi, It must be a man thing. We are still married after 48years,and he still forgets. But he has lots of patience with me ,so I would not worry too about about it.  Happy Anniversary Rita xxxx

When I want time away from bear-making I love my Cross-stitch and Card -Making. But being a Tailoress I still make a lot of my family's clothes,I also like knitting and crochet, so I am always busy doing something.  Hugs Rita xx

Roxanne,you are so clever ,do you make your own confectionary too.??

I think all TT members are so clever and we never get bored do we.?????

Hi Suzanne,
                   Like Judi, I too have had my PayPal account for over 4 years with no problems at all.I have the premier account also.  Hugs Rita xx

Hi Jane, she is so lovely ,even though shes in the bad books.  Hugs Rita xx

I love celery, copied down your recipe and cannot wait. Will let you know how successful I am weightwise. He He.  Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Dilu,
              This is my second week of doing Yoga ,but its taking me ages to get fit, some of the excercises are quite difficult for an old chick like me, its a beginners DVD ,but I am so unfit, hopefully it will pay off eventually.  Give Hubs a Smacked handie and Good Luck to everyone .Thats 3 lbs in 2 weeks, I feel a wee bit disappointed.  Hugs Rita xx

Oh Julia,
               What can I say, its so awful,to be so near to it too. Mostly when these things happen ,thats when goverments decide that things should have been done to avoid it ,but its nearly always too late. I feel so sorry for you . My biggest hugs and Prayers are with you right now.  Rita xxxxx

That was without Chocolate and no biscuits .I have lots of fruit and vegatables,I also bought some Lemon and Ginger Tea which is very nice and you do not need to have a biscuit with it either.  Maybe next week EH, hopefully.  Hugs Rita xx

Hi Everyone,
                     A bit disappointed this week as I only lost a pound. However, I suppose its a pound off instead of one on so to speak. I will need to try really hard this week and see if I can get a better loss next week.  Hope everyone has a good week.   Hugs Rita xxx

He would have fun in Scotland too, I,m sure he would go back home with lots of stories to tell and lots of castles to investigate too.  Again maybe its too far away for him to travel.   Hugs Rita xxxx

Wonderful Pictures ,so colourful. Can't wait till mine comes now.  Hugs Rita xx

Paula, I love your new Avatar,You are a clever girl.  Hugs Rita xx

Hi Paula,
               Why should you not Boast??.You work very hard and are entitled to have a 2 page spread. It just goes to show that if you work hard enough the world is your oyster as the saying goes. Big Congratulations Paula ,Well Done.   Hugs Rita xxxx

PS Teddy Bear Scene is just the best British Magazine there is.

Hi Kim, Welcome back, I remember you from when I joined. Hugs Rita xx

Hi Judi,
            Our thoughts are with you right now too, I agree with what has been said already as Children are very resilient at coping with what life deals out to them.  I hope you will be strong for them.  All my love Rita xxxxxx

Hi Sue-Ann,
                      Excellent ,well done you.  Your picture looks good ,I,m sure you do not have very much to lose.  Well, I too have lost 3lbs and like Penny I have not missed chocolate or cakes at all. Long may it continue ,but with all the support from Teddy Talk I,m sure we will all make it.  Will post a before piccie later.  Hugs Rita xx

Yep me too ,in Favour.. Rita xxx

Hi Jane, Awwwwwwwww Lucy looks so proud to me a Mum. Shes gorgeous too.  Hugs Rita xxxx

I must be a real slow coach here ,even after making bears for nearly nine years I can only do 2-3 a week but mostly if I get 2 completed I am thrilled .I am now retired from work ,but I find I probably work harder doing bears full-time ,mind you like jenny ,I do get bored and I like to do new patterns and it takes time too. So does keeping up with TT , I have to have my priorities right here.   Hugs Ritaxxxxx

Hi Shelli,
                 Have you got all the issues you need yet ,as I will be more than willing to send you my copy, We could swop a TB&F as I do not get that one . I can post to-morrow for you if need be.
                    Hugs Rita xxx

I have been making bears since 1997,so it will be ten next year. But I,m still learning too. The day I stop learning is the day I give up totally.  Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Helen,
                Can you eat wholemeal Pasta then or Brown bread ????? Hugs Rita xxx

Hi all,
            I too have found it hard going ,but so far I have not given in at all, I gave away all sweet things to my Grand-Daughters on New Years day so I have nothing sweet in the house. I have got a Yoga DVD called Wai Lana Yoga for beginners ,I hope its ok as there are so many out there.  Will report on Monday as how I am getting on. Power to us all to be strong about this.  Hugs Rita xxxxxx
