Those plates are soooo cool! I don't think the transportation authorities would ever stray from a rectangle around here:(

The bear is beautiful, Angel! The light pink color works very well with the soft tan mohair.
Thank you for taking the time to write the story. Sometimes making a bear for a friend (even an Internet friend) is the most satisfying work. I know Amy will love her bear:)
Becky
Those sparkling eyes seem to pick up the beautiful brown colors of the fur. Lovely!
Becky
Hoot is wonderful! I love that little mouth and the way the white fur blends seamlessly with the brown.
Becky
All of them are wonderful, Nataly, but the hedgehog with his cute belly button is my favorite:)

I had a similar thing happen. A bear sent from Canada to the US sat in my local post office for a couple of weeks. When I brought them the tracking number to check on the package, they pulled it out of somewhere and only then did I get it.
Good luck!
Cute, Tami! And today is my female kitty's second birthday! (Now I feel the need to make a little tuna cake or something:)
Becky
She is delightful, Bonnie! I love her face, her hair bow, and those posable legs. Lovely!
Becky
Thank you for the link, Kim. Those look nice, and the price is good, too.

Hi Sheila,
I don't know about making cloth tags yourself, but there are many listings on Etsy of people who will do custom cloth tags (or "ribbon tags") with your name or logo, etc. I think you just have to iron them in half to form the loop that you sew into the seam.
Becky
I love her! And Cora is my female cat's name -- from the Greek for "young maiden," as you probably know, so perfect for this little girl!
Becky
He is gorgeous, Sue! Your new head design goes perfectly with his nice stocky body and arms (I visited the website).
Well-done!
Becky
What a handsome guy! I really like the body proportions and the wonderful little "beard."
Becky
Great question!
One thing that inspires me is my stash of beautiful fabric. I see my pieces of mohair and faux fur and they look like bears waiting to be born:)
Becky
She's my favorite, too! I love that brown fur and her little embroidered outfit:)
I wish I were going to Zurich...
Becky
Andrea -- your Dad is going to love his bear! What a thoughtful gift.
I finally have a couple of hours this evening to cut out my pattern pieces. Here I go!
Becky
He's wonderful, Melissa! I love the combination of realism and child-like whimsy that you've captured.
Becky
The bears look like they're very, very lovely. Here's to a successful show!
