I'm preparing for my Moscow show November, 14 Teddymania. I'm planning to make three bears (it's a limit of the show just 3 bears) (just 1 is ready). I'm sewing, sewing, and kinda need a break but have sooo little time left. Just one week to finish second bear and sew third one.  :wacko:
n020.gif I go to sleep at 3 a.m. for 6 days already and feel my mind getting to live separatelly. f045.gif

Do you guys, have any secret to relax? Or just have a good nap?d035.gif

Hugs to all preparing for the shows, etc.

For me...chocolate  works !!!  bear_whistle he he
but if I have only 1week to make 2bears, I think I do 100% work(sleep 5hours only) on MON,WED,FRI then I do 70% work(sleep 8hours)on TUE,THU...... THEN don't sleep much on last day.... then I should have more than
30hours for bear making.  bear_cool
This is what I did on last show and I was soooo
exhausted.......I know it's not healthy for your body !!!!  bear_cry bear_angry bear_sad but some people are ok with
sleeping less.... I wish I was one of them.  :bday:

Julia, are you flying to Moscow !? Isn't freezing out there
already !? Have a safety trip & good luck !  :rose:

Hi Julia,

You have been a very busy Lady, but you can't burn the midnight oil - make sure
you get your sleep.
Wishing you all the very best for your show - is this your first?

Hugs

Carolyn, this is my first show cause this show is only 2d one. The first Teddymania was last year. And I haven't visit any abroad shows yet. Toooo much expensive bear_cry to get there.

Hi Julia, good luck with your show. Please make sure you have enough sleep and feel well. Yes, please do share some pictures of your bears and some from the show also if you are allowed to take some. Why are you only allowed three bears, I have never heard of this kind of rule before?

All the best. I only had three hours sleep last week when I came back off holiday. I could not think straight, so you look after yourself as I am sure the weather won't help. No wonder there were lots of Russians in Turkey last week as the weather was so nice there. Good luck with your show.

Oh, guys thanks. I really enjoy this preparing stuff. And since I'm a night owl myself it's not a problem to stay up long at night. The problem is I hate being rushed!!! I love to make everything slow and enjoy every step of bear.. So I've finished one completely yesterday night. What a relief...at least one bear is ready.

There are about 300 bears already on this show acording to the aplications. They also have nominations. 1st, 2d, 3d. best of show, etc.

I'll definatelly post my bears after show. Promise. :thumbsup:

And try to get some sleep. Sheesh. If I miss too much sleep, I start devolving into a lower form of life!  bear_angry :twisted: :bday: (I'm scared of clowns, which is why he's on the end of the line.)

I so hope that your bears do well at the show.  Your boxes are beautiful!  Now I'm looking forward to seeing the bears too.. :lol:

Hi Julia and good luck!!  :hug:

Yes, actually... if I get really tired (happens about 1 week out of the month) then YES, I DO take a nap.. even if it's 2'oclock in the afternoon (like yesterday bear_grin )  I used to resist doing it... cause I felt I was "wasting time"... but I'm so much better after just 30 minutes... now if I'm tired... I nap!

Girls, thanks so much!! I can't wait to know how my bears doing so I'll let you know as soon as I find out myself.
I make this kind of boxes for each bear. Marie, shipping boxes are simplier and cheaper.  bear_grin
