Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Hooray!  Its a wonderful feeling to sell one bear in a week, I can't imagine how I'd feel selling three. Happy dance, definitely happy dance.

I think boy too!

Kathleen

Krista,  I love your dogs, they always bring a smile to my face.  Keep up the great work!!!

Kathleen

Thanks for sharing, I've never seen these pictures before or heard about them( I must live in a cave).  Pandas are my favorite bear.  I used to collect them when I was young.  They are sooooo cute!!!!

Kathleen

I would like to add my congrats to all also.  (there are so many of you)!  I'm hoping some of your talent will somehow magically filter down thru my keyboard and into my fingers!  Do your happy dance and enjoy every second of it.  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Congrats Shelli! :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

I have a little tv too that I sometimes watch,  but sometimes I love the quietness of no distractions.  My bear studio is conveniently( or not so conveniently) located next to the laundry room, so I usually justify my time in the studio by doing laundry too.  Throw a load in, work on a bear, switch to the dryer, work on a bear, when it comes to ironing it gets a little tricky.lol.

Kathleen

Sandi, you're a real sweetie.  My mom is pretty great.  She has always supported and believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself.  I guess I'm pretty blessed in the "mom" department.  I'll pass on a big bear hug to her for ya! :hug:

Kathleen

After reading Jennie's post about not selling, I thought I would share something that recently happened to me.  I was going back and forth about putting an ad in the Teddybear Face book, couldn't decide..... Told my husband, what if no one contacts me, what if I don't sell anything from the ad, ( the usually self doubt, worry etc.)  My mom called while I was stewing this over.. started to tell her about the ad, before I could mention my fear of failure she said ,  "what are you going to do if 75 people call you and you don't have enough bears!!!"  Spoken as only your own mother would. lol.  Needless to say, I placed the ad.

Kathleen

congrats to all of you!! :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Kathleen

Jodi, that is totally AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kathleen

I just saw your post today, I'm glad your husband is on the road to recovery! The not knowing can be very scary.  :hug:

Kathleen

Thanks for all the info.  You've sold me on the stainless.  I wanted to get away from the nonstick for the health concerns with it, but I wanted something dishwasher durable.  The stainless seems to be what I'm looking for.  I plan to go out later today looking.  Thanks again.  :hug:  Isn't kinda crazy that you can get cookware advice on a teddybear site! lol.  I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kathleen

I'm in need of some new cookware,  (I presently have 13 year old T fal)  I'm thinking of buying the Emerrill stainless set, but I've never used stainless and I worry about the food sticking.  I looked into the anonized aluminum, but it says you can't put it in the dishwasher, the outside can stain etc. so I don't think I want that.  Anyone have some cookware they LOVE and could reccomend?  I'm looking to spend around $ 200 ( definitely not more than $300) Any thoughts? Thanks

Kathleen

wha a cute panda, I love the pink nose!

Kathleen

WOW, I really love this little bear.  The tree idea is so cute!  I'm sure your mother is very proud.

Kathleen

Peta, you and your little one are in my prayers.  Sending a big bear hug your way :hug:

Kathleen

He's very sweet.

Kathleen

Congrats, congrats, congrats!!!  Those two bears are just adorable
