Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Shelli you are so knowledgeable with alot of things .... and very wordy if that is a word at all..... I find it very hard to go into any great detail as I tend to get lost ... I would just like to say thank you for your time and effort in what you do ...... I photoshop 4 and trying to learn how to use it ...... I guess I am still very nervous about using it and doing the wrong thing .... but I will keep trying .....

Bronwen do you have banners for your links or just the www. link ???? I should go and check shouldn't I ........... :redface: Ok so you have the banners of most ....how did you get mine in the pic ?........ please

Shelli Deb Daphne Kim and Glenys thank you for all the information ....... I will be going shopping

Penny I would love to link to your site as I would sophie's .... I tried to put sophies on ...it shows in the editing page but not on my webpage ... can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong ... I really don't know much about how these things work .. I tried to get my email address into the picture of the bear on my contact page and couldn't do it ...... if someone can tell me what I have to do pleaseeeeee :pray:  :pray: and hope I am not too dumb to understand what your saying :redface:  :redface:

well done Tami

Stephenie and Melissa thankyou I will be going to spotlight tomorrow .......

Yes I ladder stitch front and back......

Bronwen thank you I have been into the newsagent and they checked out their suppliers ..... and had nothing

What wonderful boxes .....

Can someone who lives in the US post a pic of the Sharpie pens please, they have been mentioned on another  posting. I have tried here in Australia and they have never heard of them, I thought if I get a picture of one I could find them or something similar over here. I am not game to use felt tips on the mohair as I have had one bleed on me .....

Sophie you can add me and I will add yours to my page ... if I can work out how to do it 

Shelli I checked out our newsagent here and they think it has stopped being imported into Australia as they have not had it for 2yrs now ..... sorry

Estelle I use growlers in my larger bears, I put them in the tummy .I stuff the tummy of the bear as usual being aware I am going to put a growler in there .. I place the growler in a bag (I use tights that I get cheap and cut them) to keep out the fibers.and .. putting the holes of the growler facing the front of the bear so when he is tilted forward and back he growls ...I have done it facing the head so when he is turned upside down and back he growls and finsh stuffing the bear making sure I can't feel the growler too much... and sew him up..

I use the hot water dylon and fix it with salt or vinegar .. I then rinse it out untill it runs clear and dry in the dryer I must admit I tried it on a scrap first up but it was fine...you can get a fixer here for it but I have not used that

Excellent way Stephenie, I think that would work if it is kept between the two involved.. and first in first served bases

Judi congratulations I am so happy for you .....well deserved ....

Happy Christmas Julia my friend I hope you have a good one ...

I'm with you Erin .... Oh Bronwen I feel your frustration ...
