I'm glad you like them!
We spent about an hour there, I could be there much longer but my husband was with me :crackup: I didn't buy any of them, they were quite expensive and I couldn't choose which one I like the best

Hi Cat! I wanted to write something to this thread a few days ago but I couldn't find it 
My baby is doing fine (and me too), here is a new picture (20th week):
It's definitely a girl and we are going to call her Klara, which is the Czech equivalent to Clare.
Hope you are fine as well!

Hi all, last year (in September) we visited Wien only to do some sight-seeing etc. But we found something amazing -- a shop with antique bears (they also had some old furniture etc.)! All the photos I took there are on my flickr page -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/ivuskah/se … 995018260/ but I'm posting some of theme here to tempt you
I'm sorry for the poor quality of some of the photos, some of the bears were in a glass show-case. You can even see me in one picture!
Hope you like it.

Hi, I have the subscription from X-mas (a present from my husband) and it works fine. It's not a pdf file (unfortunately) but a flash-animated application that runs in your web browser. The only way you can download a site from the magazine is to do a screenshot (or at least I didn't find any other way).

Thanks Sophie. He is perfect for hugs, his coat is so soft (it's synthetics from Beary Cheap) and was also quite easy to work with.

They are beautiful, I wish I could go to Hugglets too (not to show my own bears -- they are not good enough 
but to see the others').

Hi all, this is Edward, a 53cm tall bear. I try clothes for my baby on him because he has the right size! :crackup: You can read more about him on my blog.
As a little bonus I also include a photo of Edward with some of my minis 
(yes, the blue mini has no ears! 
)

Hi all, this is Albert, a 35cm mohair bunny. You can read more about him on my (new) blog.

Hi, this is Georgia. She is 35cm tall made of 2,5cm pile German mohair. She has German glass eyes, embroidered mouth and nose and scissor sculpted face. She has ultrasuede pawpads. Her dress and flower are also handmade by me.

Hi, I bought mohair on ebay several times but I think my favourite sellers are not suitable for you as they are from Europe... But still -- one lady is http://stores.ebay.com/gelibaeren_W0QQs … 2222QQtZkm ("mohairstoffe" is the part you want) and she also has many things she doesn't have listed so just ask her. She is from Germany. This lady -- http://stores.ebay.de/Krumelbarchen is also very nice (also from Germany).
Anyway - German "teddy part" of ebay (http://spielzeug.listings.ebay.de/Teddy … ngItemList) usually has more items listed than the American I think...
Iva
Congratulations Kim! I hope that my doctor will confirm that it's a girl (it seemed so last time) on Monday too!

Hi, the sites are sorted by Page Rank. Shortly -- the Page Rank expresses how many sites point to your site. Another way to get higher in the list is to have a semantic web which is more friendly for Google. You should have a well structured semantic website which means to use <h1>, <h2>... tags for headings etc. The other criteria are the number of sites pointing to your site (and the content of those sites), the relevance to searched word(s) (if you search "teddy bear" and your website has title Teddy bear, <h1> tag Teddy bear etc. it's highly relevant) etc.
You can find more on Wikipedia -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank and test your websites Page Rank on http://www.prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php.
And the metatags -- most of the modern web crawlers (or robots, including Google) ignore them (except the tag "no-follow" which means that the robot should ignore the site). But they are still very useful for web browsers!

I visited the doctor today because I was worried about some unusual pressure inside and I get dizzy sometimes so I wanted to consult this. She asked if we already knew the sex and I said no so she checked it. I don't have a picture today because I was so happy that everything is OK that I forgot to ask for it.
Hi ladies, today the doctor said that it's probably a girl! But you never know so I'm not going to buy pink clothes
Iva
Oh, Paula, you've just did a horrible thing to me. I am very hungry and cannot eat now (still at work) and when I saw the boiled egg... :pray: :pray:

Hi Sophie,
we eat bread very often in our country. The main type of bread is made of wheat flour or rye flour, sometimes with added seeds etc.
Pictures of some typical breads in our country:

Hi all,
here is the new "photo" of my baby (in 14th week) Not very clear but you can tell it's a baby 
Iva
Wow, she is beautiful! And Anton! I love Swarowski crystals and everything made of them and this little ant is really stunning! :clap: :clap:

Hi Cat, I'm 14 and a half weeks now, I got another ultrasound picture on Wednesday:) I'm doing fine, fortunatelly, but I haven't gained any weight yet, which is no problem, the doctor says. I would love to make bears but I have no time now -- I have exams at the university (my last for some time ).
I hope you get better soon and start crafting again!
Iva
They are beautiful!
