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!

Marie_ Nov 7, 2005

Oh no Kim, pretty please don't show me your
bear now !  :pray:  :whistle:
Sorry for acting like a child but I like  surprise !!!

Sophie, I just sent you PM message! Please
read...  :teddybear:

kbonsall Nov 7, 2005

do you want me to show you her now or do you want to wait? or wait until I am done?

Marie_ Nov 7, 2005

Hi Kim, sorry ..
can I wait until she arrives to my door?  :rose:
That will be big surprise to me.  :bday: :love:

Hugs/Marie

kbonsall Nov 7, 2005

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

Marie_ Nov 7, 2005

I have taken pics of her at every stage from the mohair, to the cutting out and now the "no face" stage...

↑how fun ! ok, I will do the same thing. I will start
taking photo from mohair, cutting , sewing..... and save it as my first
swap memory.... 

lapousmor Nov 7, 2005

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.

Kathy and I have been in touch. Question about the pics......do we post a pic of the bear we are sending, or the bear we receive?????? I get sooo confused  :redface: Ellen

kraftyladies Nov 8, 2005

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!    :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:

Hugs/Marie

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.

Marie_ Nov 8, 2005

Thank You Sophie and Ann G !   :hug:
I hope everything will be ok for everyone.  :rose:

Ann G said she will post her bear picture(not a swap bear)in TT, so exiting to see new bears!

Hugs/Marie

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 :dance:

Acipenser Nov 9, 2005

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

Sabine   :hug:

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
Ann G.
