Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

she is in my etsy shop, waving her bunting - she loves bunting almost as much as me !
i entered her in 2 competitions, but she didn't get placed ...

wow, amazing work ...

4 years old? i didnt click, my twin babies were 4 yesterday - where did that go huh ?
and little mary, well she is 2 next month ...

do get the book and read it, i loved it ... i hope they make a movie !
thanks for sharing that info bobbie xxx

hi karen, firstly, as one of my creating-heros, please let me thank you for considering my work and my blog.
ths Edward isnt for production design, but im interested by your comment and wonder how my design is perfect for  that sort of thing?

this bunny will proudly star in a school play ... so he isn't heavy china, but lightweight fleece and a lovely dense faux fur ...

making his coat now ... exciting !

thnaks again everyone for your kind comment
btw, i leaned how to do those toes form all your kid folks here at TT who share hints and methods
and i spent some time in a wired bunny ears thread too :-)

love

awww - i came to look at some of your kitties again, after you told me that you enjoyed my blog ... im proud of my blog and try to keep it interesting ... and oh my, have i done a lot of interesting commissions ...

i have to say tho, when i forst came to TT i drooled over your cats, and ellen's badgers, and well last year i managed to get a badger all for myself ... hes lovely ... so who knows, i see you still make fantastic cats, it could happen for me one day ... who knows, i may be bale to trade some mice with you towards one?
ach, let me dream a while !

well done on saying you will do one black cat a year - black is hard !

wow, thanks guys, you are so kind - of course - i need to get him out of that toddler t -shirt and into his frock coat with lace ... soon, soon ...

and as for the book, i grabbed myself a soft back copy from ebay, using some of my 'bear' money, and got stuck into it, i read it in a day - i just had to read it if i was ging to create Edward myself ...

i recommend it, but its a bit sad .... gulp !
then a happy ending ....
