Thanks to all, you are so nice! 
Wow Jenny, he is beautiful!
Thanks to all!!
Debbie - I got up at 4.50 am and I was at the hair dresser's at 5.30, by 8.00 it was done and than I went to dress etc. The wedding started at 9.30. I was very tired by the end of the day (but happy)!
Hi all, as some of you know, I'm pregnant and that's not the only news! I got married on Saturday. If you are interested you can see more pics in http://flickr.com/photos/ivuskah/collec … 478266240/.

Hi all, finally I've got a nice picture of my baby! The doctor said her/his development is absolutely OK. He/she want to show off a bit so he/she was flip-flopping all the time! (Doctor said that the real age of the pregnancy is 12 weeks, not 14 as we thought from the date of my last period, so finally my due date is 30th June.)
Hi Mary, thanks for your offer, it's so nice of you! I've already bought some from Sassy's, they are so tiny that I can hardly imagine using them :crackup:

Congratulations, Clare! I'm so curious about my baby's sex, but I don't prefer either. But everyone thinks it's a boy (I don't know why 
)...
Iva
What a beautiful owl! It's so realistic! Your grandson is a happy boy
Hi all, this is Rosie, she is only 4cm tall (1.6 inches). She was my first bear of this size, her stitches are showing a lot and she is not perfect at all. I even had to embroider ( 
) her eyes, because I didn't have this small onyx beads in that time. :crackup:

Hi all, this is another new bear of mine -- Evelyn.
She is made from "Strawberry Whip" fur from Beary Cheap, a wonderful fur to work with! Her nose is from polymer clay and the paw pads are trapunto. I enclose also a pic of the foot pad before it was sewn to the leg. Unfortunately, I have only this picture of Evelyn because I accientaly deleted the other pics from my camera before downloading it! 
Hi all!
Please meet Lisa, my new miniature (7 cm) bear. She is made from vintage velvet, her limbs are string jointed, the head is cotter pin jointed.
I would sell her but I'm too affraid to, I know I must start some day but... 
I know that it's "only" a bear, but I'm worried about the potential new owners etc... It's the same with all my bears.

Congratulations! The bears are beautiful, but I like your bunnies the best!
Clare, I am having another examination on Monday, it will be a detailed one (looking for down syndorm, heart problems etc.) and I hope the results will be OK. I will try not to forget about the picture again Last Wednesday the baby was 4,5 cm and was waving his/her hands and legs happily.
Hi Kim, congratulations! Last Wednesday my baby looked very nice on the ultrasound too, but I forgot to ask the doctor for the picture! 
The daddy was there with me, but he forgot as well (he saw the baby for the first time and he was absolutely thrilled!), poor little baby having such forgetful parents :crackup:
I'm looking forward to all these TT babies! Do you already know the sex of your babies, ladies? Or do you want it to be a surprise? (my answers - not yet, no )
Iva
Hi all, I'm pregnant too, 12 weeks now I was not sick at all (lucky ) and the baby is doing fine. But - I got pregnant after starting to attend gym as well! So good luck to us all :pray:
Hi all, how wonderful bears you made! Here is mine (a bit late, he was been almost finished for a while but his nose was still incomplete and I was quite busy because I follow in Cat's and Claire's footsteps -- I'm pregnant too! ) -- Benjamin.
He is a bit under 5 inches.
Hi, this is caused by a feature of web browsers which make a local "copy" of websites to make it's loading faster when the user visits it again. The browser should know how old the copy is and check with the server every time. If there is a new version available, it updates the local copy. But sometimes this goes wrong. You can disable this process (process of using these local copies) by adding <meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache"> and/or <meta http-equiv="expires" content="0"> to the meta tag section in your website source. But this has one disadvantage -- the site will load much slower, because you have a lot of pictures there and they would load again and again.
Anyway, I would not think about this very much, it happens sometimes (the error can be both on server and web browser) and if anyone thinks that he is not seeing the right content, he should reaload the website (but this doesn't work always), I think this is quite common practise. 
No, they are not mine, I breed Golden retrievers, here are a few of my last litter - 
This one (above) is only a few minutes old 
I've seen this somewhere in the internet some time ago, I tried to google it today and find something - http://www.canwax.shoppingcartsplus.com … 936731.htm, poor little bears
Yes, I got the pattern piece, thanks I signed up because I want to learn making gussets and this is a good oportunity
They don't sell any bear magazines at all in our country...
I'm interested as well!
Could you please write something more on the gusset designing? Because I'm trying to design a new head for my bears and I'm quite satisfied with the side pieces of the head but I cannot figure out the gusset...
I close the opening the way you do, but my last stitch is in the place of the old stitches - that I sewn from the wrong side when sewing the body piece. Then I find a thread from the first sewing, more correctly - a stitch. I slip the needle under it and tie a knot (it's a loop and then you go through it with the needle) very close to the fabric (it's easy to do it very very close) and once again. Then I bury the needle -- insert the needle in the same point it came out (before tying the two knots) and I go through the body piece. I pull the needle so that the knot is nearly inside the fabric (or completely inside) and trim it when it is still stretched so that the end of the thread slips back to the fabric.
Uff, hope this makes sense as both my English and ability for explaining something are quite poor.
