Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

this little guy is gorgeous, and a terrific idea, he has such a sweet face

its strange how the worst jokes always make you laugh (weldone Katy lol) :crackup:

hugs Susan x

that was  great thanks for the laugh, its one of those that comes to mind every so often and then people in the supermarket think you've lost the plot as you are laughing to yourself. :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:

ULTIMATELY

umbrellas left turn into monsters and they eat little yoyos

YOYOS

COME ON GUYS NORMALLY THE RESPONSE IS HUGE, I think this is a real pick me up idea, such a good feeling making a bear for another artist, we all deserve a little treat and what a perfect way to give each other a lovingly handcrafted gift.

big hugs
Susan

hi i do the same, but to secure a bit more i have started putting the thread that i attach to the wire loop, through the hole of the disk,  and tie off the thread before i attach the cotter to body.
it seems to be working and i havent glued the nose to the fabric.
hope this helps

hugs susan

I want to wish you lots of luck hope you all sell loads, and Katy please take some pics, i'm stuck at home in Portugal and cant make it, but i had a great time in September

GOOD LUCK SELL LOTS

Thanks again guys.
the answer to your question Karon is that this is a lady i have met at the christmas fairs here and have know her for a couple of years and she has bought several of my bears now. the plan is she gives me the names and i think of the bear etc then as i finish each bear she will receive it and pay for it then the order continues until i have finished, so the cost for her is spread over a time and i have a regular amount coming in if i do 2 amonth etc. Its great that she is in no hurry these bears are all for her, a project she is doing for her family.( i will reveal more about this later as it may be a new idea for me to go with) Because she is a longtime collector and appreciaties the work involved she is happy for me to take my time. which i need as i work and i have so much planned to push my bears this year.
I am really sorry your experience was bad Karon i know its so easy to get carried away with the moment thankyou for your friendly warnings.

thanks again for your support and supportive comments

big hugs to you all xxxx
