Oh, I can give you this info for now... she is 6" tall sitting and 8" tall standing (I was pretty close with the height guess, Marie!)  She is made out of Schulte caramel mohair.... Very very soft.... but that is all her details for now... and I wont share any more until Marie gets her... I need to keep her in suspense! as well as you all!

Sure... I was hoping you would wait for the surprise!  I have taken pics of her at every stage from the mohair, to the cutting out and now the "no face" stage... I will take pics of her with her face and then finally finished but I will wait until you get her to post pics bear_original

I just wanted you to confirm: is it ok for you, Marie and susan that I swap with you both? No changes?
As soon as you confirm, I will send you my details by e-mail.

Beary hugs,
Sophie.

PS: I too take pictures during my teddy bear making at the different steps.

Umm, I guess you can decide that with your partner.  I guess it will all depend on whether everyones partner wants to take a picture of it before they send and wait to post it after their partner receives it, or just take a picture of your bear when you receive it.  Whatever works, as long as WE GET TO SEE A PIC!!   :)

Sophie, I emailed you back, we are trying to get all the details worked out.....  again sorry about the confusion!  bear_wacko  :redface:

Hi Sophie, I sent you e-mail today regarding
swap partner. My partner contact me on Sunday evening(at our end) but I already changed my partner (due I didn't hear form her till sunday...) to Kim.  :/
So,  if you and Ann G is ok, would you like to swap
between 2of you ? because Ann G has no partner yet.
I'm asking this because I wont be able to make
3bears at once...for Kim, Sophie, Ann G ...  :redface:  :doh:
I sent e-mail to Ann G too and she said she will send
you e-mail for swapping.
I hope no one will be left out for this fun bear swap.  :hug:

Dear Susan and Marie,

I had an e-mail from Ann G. She proposed to swap with me. I said her this is OK, so I will finally swap with her.
Finger crossed things are back to normal, now!  :D

Beary hugs,
Sophie.

I am in contact with my swap partner Matilda and we have already agreed on how to do our swap.
Are we supposed to post pictures after the swap? I'd like that.

Sabine

I would like that too Sabine!!! :thumbsup:

OH my goodness, I have only just finished the design. I have to order fabric, or wait till the fair on the 18th nov.
I havent got what I want.  This bear has to be special. It will be representing me internationally. So it MUST be close to PERFECT bear_grin bear_grin :dance:

Oh my, Matilda, now I am nervous. What if my bear is less than perfect? Guess we call it character then ha?  bear_grin bear_happy I'll give it my best shot.
Take your time, no hurry. I'm still undecided. So many ideas, none perfect.....

Hi Sophie
Here goes. I'm glad to have my partner so I can get started. I'll be in touch so we can decide on the details. I see the deadline is February. It sounds like some people are ready to exchange their bears right now. I'm really looking forward to the surprise of this whole thing.
Bye for now

Hi Julia,

If everything goes well with this swap (I hope it does), I am sure we will be doing other swaps.  I will make sure to add you to the list of intersted people.  :hug:

Ann, some have wanted to do their bears for Christmas time, while others have not.  Your deadline is up to you and Sophie to decide, and we all want pics posted of your swap bears!!   :lol:
