Welcome to another weekend everyone!
Today I wanted to honour our silent and usually well-loved friends in my Saturday post - our teddies. Who didn't have a well-loved teddy bear or toy when they were growing up? I know I LOVED my big Paddington bear (and was devastated when my mum threw him out. So what if he only had one eye and a huge hole where his nose used to be??), and I still have the little vibrant green hippo that was given to me on the day I was born. My kids have their favourites too. Elizabeth has an emu called Memu and a teddy bear named, imaginatively enough, Teddy Bear, while Phillip cannot sleep without his Nigh Nigh Bear!

So this weekend I'd love to see you create something to honour those best friends of years gone by (or even current friends. My mum still sleeps with a teddy!). Take a trip down memory lane and rediscover your old silent friend.

What a fabulous Ted Kylie! Alz :)
Oh Kylie he's gorgeous.
I have about 100 bears here, some of them sit in my scraproom and watch me work.
I still have my old doll that was given to me when I was two, she's 60 years old now.
