Sudey Babesmention why we love to make our warm fuzzies :)
The economy is really cause for some seriously down moments, BUT, we will get through it and come out on a better curve of the circle!
In the meantime, let's share our reasons and joys about our lovely *hobby*.
I've written a bit about it in my blog sudeybabes.blogspot.com and will start the ball rolling with an excerpt here...hoping more of you can take a moment and share, too!
"...As the warm fuzzies take shape, the undeniable personality starts to form. Ohhh so cute (laughing at myself!). The creative need flows in my heart again. It's always around in some form. Some more fun than others. But I've transferred the need to create something lovable into a little ball of mohair and polyfil. And it reminded me of my kids."

Ruby Mountain BearsIt is a way of expressing love sometimes, to create something soft , sweet, huggable, sometimes I feel like I am having more children. Each little creation develops a personality in my hands, seeming to come to life as it were. Finished and ready for adoption I love the creation as much as the process. Today I found my self hugging a finally finished little bear. Too silly sometimes but they do seem filled with love.
Having the gift to be able to create something warm, soft, fuzzy and cute is really wonderful. I am amazed at myself that I can actually design a bear or dog from scratch and bring it to life. And I truly enjoy it!!! Amazing since I never really cared to sew much before this. Sewing garments or even quilts just isn't the same. I think it is the aww factor and the feeling that I really am creating a little "life" or personality--something that can be loved and hugged that makes the difference. 
When I was a little girl I loved my stuffed animals--WAY more than dolls. Each one had their own individual personality. And now that I can actually create them myself is quite joyful and rewarding.

Angela's Bear GardenIt really gives me the warm fuzzies! It's kinda that puppy in the window thing...know what I mean?
I also love the reaction from collectors, the looks of awe, the smiles, and the heartwarming stories *sigh*
It almost feels like I am bringing a new creature to life... 
Dances With Teddy BearsCreating teddies comforts my soul and gives me inner peace. It's hard to describe, but I think my fellow teddy makers know just what I mean.
To create, to be able to create, is a joy beyond words. This site is a joy beyond words.
We will, as Sudey says, come out on a better curve of the circle!

Custom TeddysI've been somewhat of a "closed" person much of my life. I think when I discovered teddy bears, my heart opened. Vicki
