Awww he is so cute Nina....I was thinking of not bidding but I can see I may have to change my mind that fur looks lovely!!! And I like the idea of less shedding too.

sarahjane

Hmmm I really had to think about this...I am always stressed  bear_ermm   But when my stress levels are over the top I lose myself in Teddy Bears so I guess I make more bears, but I also eat and clean (although the cleaning is probably guilt from spending too much time sewing!!!)  bear_grin  But when I get depressed, usually after being really stressed then I don't do anything and all creativity goes out the window  bear_cry

sarahjane

Thanks Nina!!   That's good to know!! bear_original  bear_flower

..I have missed out completely on the bid4bears thing. I have to look through the archives and see what that is all about.

Ellen I'm sure you haven't missed out completely...there is still time...I have posted the link here for you to look at, If you are interested just email Nancy....

Eliza...Ebay is notoriously unreliable...don't take it personally your bears are wonderful, they were selling and they will sell again, I'm sure that it's just a factor of people not having as much money in their pockets at the moment.  :hug:

sarahjane

Oh good it's out...I'm off to the newsagents then to try and find it.....

I do all mine by hand so I'm not wanting anything too thick or tough.. bear_ermm

sarahjane

Thanks for the Info Tammy  bear_original ......I needed to know before I decide whether or not to bid n a beaver coat... bear_ermm

sarahjane

Does anyone know how thick is Beaver hide and is it hard to sew?? Is it suitable for making bears or not?

sarahjane

Now I do remember this Wendy but unfortunately I am having a brain freeze and can't remember the name of the magazine or who posted the info........Well that was a lot of help wasn't it??   bear_ermm  bear_whistle

Hang on...was it Art Doll Quarterly??? or something like that...

sarahjane

I measure both unless a bear is made to stand only then I only give the head to toe measurement but if a bear is made to be seated I give a seated measurement too.

sarahjane

I love these wet look puddles Wensy....they are wonderful with or without arms!!!

sarahjane

Mostly I don't but sometimes a bear needs undies....I think it just depends on the outfit...

sarahjane

I do my eyse first but I make sure the head is very firmly stuffed before I put the eyes in...I haven't had any trouble with the eyes coming loose yet but my head is completely stuffed then I just add the joint and close it.  I also sink the eyes in quite a long way before closing....seems to work for me... bear_ermm  I like the fact I don't have to try and hide knots and things at the back of the head....
