PottersHouse BearsWell, I too had a restaraunt experience. I was sitting in the local Mexican restaraunt with several friends from church. I was having a conversation with one particular friend about bear making telling her about an order from Intercal. She said, apparently too loudly, "When you get your order of joints I will have to come to your house." My daughter looked at me and whispered a long drawn out MOM. Needless to say, we had many eyes on us. So I just as loudly proclaimed that we were talking about joints for bear making. My daughter was embarrassed, but I thought it was just too funny.

Oh my gosh Judi, my daughter told me the VERY same thing !!! She said "Look Mommy, this chicken nugget looks JUST like a bear's leg!!" hee hee!! Sooo funny!!! 
Oh and you know you're a bear artist when you go the store and realize you have alligator clips hanging off the edge of your shirt (that's where I store them when I'm sitting outside sewing...as I remove them I just clip them on my shirt) and then, yes, forget they're there... :redface:
EJ's CraftsWhen your husband asks where are all my sockets? I make child safe bears and use the locking plastic joints on all my bears and a socket works great for getting these really tight.

Millie this is SO funny! I laughed out loud.
One time I was at a restaurant with my mom and while we were waiting in the lobby to be seated I excused myself to do a blood sugar check in the bathroom. If my bloodd sugar was too high I was not going to eat just yet. When I returned to the lobby my Mom said in a loud voice, " Are you too high to eat?" You should have sen the heads turn. !!! She was referring of course to my blood sugar level. I said "No mom, my BLOOD SUGAR is NOT too high."

TeenytinyteddybearsVery good thread, I thought I was alone in this....
Mine:
When you move around the world with a suitcase and more than half of it is bear stuff.
When you buy a skirt, not to wear, to cut up for bears.
When you worry for days about a bears clothes, but throw on any clothes for yourself.
When you sit down to do something "quickly" at 9 in the morning and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon still sitting there in your pajamas.
When you have perforated fingers.
When your 3 inch bears and their stuff spreads out over the entire house.
Yes, as mentioned before, you have an impressive collection of tools and medical equipment.
Out of a pin cushion of 100's of needles you have a favorite.
Other people have to buy mascara with added fibre to lengthen their eyelashes....
Your husband is too scared to go into your handbag, not because of the normal "girl" mess, but because somewhere in there lurks a work in progress in case you have to wait somewhere.
When living in a foreign country and warned that you may have to evacuate, you keep all your important documents, jewelry and bears together for a fast getaway. (with a collection of "stuff" to keep you going until you can order more)
Oh dear, I think I have to admit I am an addict
