Please, tell me I am not serious!

but well, yesterday, a friend of Malko's mom odered a big baby bear. She has a very precise idea of what she wants. She paid me in advance.

I was initially looking for some mohair to match the grey-blue mohair I will use for the commissionned baby bear, and accessorily a nice mohair for my swap bear on Cheap Chat.

I was a bit lost on Intercal web site but finally ended up on their bargain page. And, I found a bunch of mohair pieces at great prices I just had to buy right now!

So I bought 1/2 yard of a navy blue mohair, plus 1/4 yards of some stone, old tan and champagne mohairs, different qualities.

I think I will use the stone mohair to match my grey-blue mohair, because I think i prefer to use a lighter colour to make a jabot.

And I have another order to send to my usual retailer for more joints (I won't have enough).  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko

Beary hugs,

Beary hugs,

Sophie,

Did you order enough to take part in the coupons?  I always TRY to because it can help so much....For you all who have never ordered from Intercal when you place your order, ALWAYS check the coupons, there's a little box at the bottom of the shopping cart page...and it gives you so many options to save a little money!

Whenever I can order at least $200 I get enough

off

the order to pay my shipping.  I am just a state north of California....but that would be a big help on your postage....$10 here, $10 there....it all adds up!

You will love your order. they always send things so very well packaged...when you order glass eyes they are well wrapped and taped and tucked inside the mohair for protection.  I really appreciate that kind of touch.....

Congratulations on your first order! p025.gif

Very exciting!!! I also got my joints and hardware from Intercal. It was easy to read the selection...since this is my first time making a bear. It was the only web-site that made everything I would need for my bear pattern clear and easy to understand! Tell us when you get your mohair box! bear_thumb

Yes, use the coupon when ordering!!  I like to place a large enough order to get the free piece of mohair Intercal offers.  I get to try something I might not normally order and I can sell the finished bear/bunny/critter and more than make up for the  cost of shipping. 

Oh, and another thing......370S/C (probably my favorite mohair) is on weekly special starting today!!  It's great for medium to large bears depending on the look you want.  Just thought I'd mention that.

Thanks for telling us about the coupon option girls.  For us international "bearies", every cent counts when we have to pay shipping.  Ta.

Oh Sophie I can feel your excitement.  I just got my first intercal order a couple of weeks ago.  It is so much fun when the box arrives and everything is so carefully packaged.  It's like getting a present even though you already know what is inside.      bear_laugh
