But if you are not :redface: I'm sure anything you make will be equally gorgeous..
Julia are you talking to me???? :redface:
World cup fever has hit my 12 year old in a big way. He loves his soccer, but unfortunately we can't get the station the games are on so he has to wait for taped copies.
What a perfect, beautiful sweet little Babe!!! these sorts of pictures make me very clucky
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Maybe you could try the Live help and see if they have a better response, sometimes it just depends on who you get and sometimes if you are persistant they will refund.(probably just to shut you up :crackup: )
I took my husbands last name with no questions either (I wonder if it was something to do with my maiden name being Hercock????)
But I do have a friend who kept her own name and that seems to work as well, although these days she uses either name depending on where she is.
I must say that I think it is easier having the same last name especially if you have children.
OOOH Congratulations Susan, That is really good news you must be thrilled!!!
Wonderful bear and a lovely idea, I'm sure your cousin will be thrilled.
Well done, I love your new avatar
No Bron you are not a dill, I thought the exact same thing (it must be the aussie in us )
Melanie, well done...congratulations. :dance: :clap: :clap:
Thank you everyone I am still in shock I think... :redface:
How big are these two bears? They look small compared to the others
Sophie, the pink one is 6 inches and the other one is about 8 inches stretched out but he has bent legs so he doesn't stand.
Most of the other bears were much bigger which is one of the reasons I was so surprised as I think it can sometimes be hard to compete against much bigger bears!! but maybe I'm mistaken as this is the first competition I've done?
How was the show? I was at Jupiters last weekend, but didn't stay until this weekend for this one
I thought the show was great as a visitor, but the bear traders I spoke to were saying that they were very quiet and that the dollmakers were doing a roaring trade, they think that perhaps most of the collectors were shopped out after the Jupiters show
Hi everyone
I've come home from the Winter Wonderland show here in Brisbane today and I'm walking on air....
One of my bears, Ben won Best novice and Best Bear in theme of show and Isabella got a blue ribbon
I can't wipe the smile off my face.
will post photo's later I'm waiting on a friend to email them to me as our camera is still not working
sorry they are a bit hard to see!!
:crackup: :crackup: :crackup:
If you find a cure let me know, I could use some of it!!! :crackup: :crackup:
She's lovely and the mohair is awesome as you said...It always amazes me too how different patterns can be...
That sound incredibly fiddly!!!!
Don't think I'll be trying it any time soon, I'm having enough trouble perfecting my eyelids..
Jennie, Brownie is adorable, he looks good enough to eat. I agree with Dilu, this pattern is definitely a keeper.
They are both just lovely, I'm sure you will be very successful at the show.
wow...fantastic, I love nutcrackers
"A bear with your mothers false teeth" now that would be something to see, I can't wait for the photo's :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:
Seriously this is one beautiful bear, and the teeth are just so perfect, how on earth did you get them to stay in his mouth?
Lucky, lucky Elizabeth...what a beautiful bunny, I'm sure it will become a treasured family heirloom.
Well it's 6.55 am here and I've just read this entire thread and nearly died laughing :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:
I'm sure my kids have been wondering if mum has finally gone insane with all the laughter coming out of the office... :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:
