Ok, So yesterday morning I was moaning that I had not been invited to Februarys Hugglets.  bear_angry I had an invite for Septembers but not Februarys. I was talking to my husband and saying " Oh well it's nice really, I will be able to have a good walk around and say hello to everyone and I'm gonna save my money up for new mohair" Then 1/2 an hour later the phone rang and it was Hugglets inviting me to Feb's show. Of course I said yes right away. But now I am in a total panic. I have no bears made. bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko
Please some one make me feel better and let me know how behind you are with bears for hugglets as well :crackup:  :crackup:
Ok I am now off to work!!!! bear_whistle  bear_whistle

You'll do just fine Chloe. It's amazing how much you will get done. I'll be there upstairs on stand 140a (I think that's the number) and I have half of one bear and an orangutan half made. Seeing as the primates usually take up to six weeks each to come to life, I doubt I'll be having to many creations to sell. We'll all have a great time and as usuall I will be going around with my dreaded camera.  bear_grin  bear_grin  bear_grin  bear_grin
See you soon.

Even if I'd been invited a month ago I likely wouldn't have a single bear done yet. Like others, I work best under pressure...... the first bear would get done about week before the show and I wouldn't sleep the rest of the week cause I'd be sewing and cursing myself for not having started earlier! bear_tongue

I gather you are all machine sewers?

Chloe, sewing my bears by hand I wouldn't stand a chance of being ready on time.
I have just started on my bears for the BAO show and that's after Hugglets!

I would love to be there though, just to come and say Hi!

Good Luck everyone!

Chloe - I'm sure you'll get them all done in time - but good luck anyway............
I'm with Sandi - as a hand-sewer, and being one of the slowest bear makers, I'm just trying to get into gear and make a start on bears for the Teddybar Total - and that's not till the end of April!  ho hum..............

I always hand sew heads ,ears and pawpads. Then machine sew afterwards to make them extra strong. I do machine everything else.
But still I am panicing!! bear_grin  bear_grin
