Oh Edie. I completely understand your feelings of discouragement. But you should not let this stop or even slow you down.
I absolutely adore your little ones and would give anything to have more. I just love the little ones that I have. Unfortunately with the economy I am forced to slow down my collecting and it is killing me! I watched your little elephant on Ebay and was trying to come up with ways I could sneak her in without Garnet finding out. He is just too smart for that.
We are also feeling the same slow down that you are. The majority of our buyers are in the US and I believe the economy scare is what may be a factor. Oh there will always be those out there who can afford a gazillion dollars for a bear but I truly think it is just a few.
Your little ones are beautifully made (remarkable really) and as cute as can be. Also your prices are ridiculously LOW. So please please please forage on. This situation should not be taken personally for any of us. It is just the times I think.

Hi Paula. I am so sorry you are having to deal with this.
We have the same rules in our layaway agreements as you do. A few years back I had a similar situation and in the end I did refund the deposit. Only because the woman was so rude about the ordeal and I did not want the hassel. It annoyed me beyond reason but I in the end realized it was better to keep the peace for my sanity or maybe because I just did not want to deal with her. I'm weak! What can I say!

OMGSH! What awesome pictures Daph!
It looks like everyone had such a wonderful time and the little bears and critters are wonderful. How I would have loved to be a collector at this show.
Great job as always Daph!

Hi Jenny. I totally understand where you are coming from. I think we all get in a bit of a rut and a slump from time to time. A new and different piece of mohair can sometimes inspire our creative juices again but like you we also need a challenge.
I dabbled in an entirely different medium with reborn dolls. I loved every minute of it but found they were so time consuming and one can never retrieve what was put into them. Painting could take upwards of 26 hours and hair rooting 20 - 25 hours. So I guess the moral of the story is to do it because you love it and not to bring in big profits.
I am playing around with a new medium now as well as our bears. I am just having fun and NOT looking at it as a profit making project. I think we all need to be creative and are looking for an outlet to express that.
Maybe trying something totaly new with your creativity would fill that creative need and give you a new challenge.

Hi Christine. I have no idea why the rules are so different and difficult. Each province has their own rules. Alberta is less stingent in so many ways. Come here! Sorry Ontario!
Hugs Louise
Great job Daph! Wow I can only imagine the work involved! Wonderful work Hun!

Good question Karen. But you know, your cats are so unique and wonderful I think the buyers on Ebay are priviledged to have the opportunity to bid on two offerings. They would be so lucky to have either one of your creations!

Oh my gosh Jane how frightning. I am so glad everything is OK. Thinking of you and your Daughter!
Hugs Louise
That is awesome Tami! Our little furry friends are like our children. When they get sick we have broken hearts. I am so glad all is well.
