I wonder if there are bears already traveling around in the world?????

I'm happy to tell you, that my Austrian-Dreli-bear started his journey today to my swap-partner Jane at Canada. I'm curious what both will say when they will meet - I hope they will fall in Love soon.

and I'm looking forward to see so many lovely pics of bears from all the swap-partners around the world.

Thank you dear Karon again for all your work!!!!

Goodness! How quick were you?  Mine is still a piece of fabric at Intercal that is yet to get to Australia before I can start even thinking about what I am going to make.  Well Done  :clap:   :clap:

Ohhhhhhhhh I hope mine will be loved   bear_ermm  bear_thumb , as I was so quick finishing it - maybe it's not that work, that would be expected  :dance: , I did a small bear-girl  about 6,5 inch tall and I hope my swap-partner will love it.  bear_whistle  bear_whistle  bear_wub  bear_smile

@Andrea, I'm sure your bear will be very, very loved! (You're far ahead of my partner and I. We're aiming for the second half of June.)

@Wubbie, Karon was nice enough to organize the swap. It's quite a lot of work, so we're glad she did it. Keep your eyes open (tee hee) for the next one, maybe this winter?

It's okay to say keep your eyes open, lol.  We still use the same expressions.

I'm sure I'll love it.  I've started on yours as well.  Got a fairly good start.  Probably not as far along as you are.  But getting there.  I'm excited about this one, I want to try something new with it. I hope you will enjoy it when it arrives.  I will keep you posted.

And I take back what I said earlier about I'm sure I'll love it.  I know I'll love it.

Don't be too quick Sherroy, mine is still not sewn up; it's started though! Maybe reading this post will get me moving a bit more quickly. :doh:

I went to the Melbourne Teddy Bear Show on Sunday and bought a couple of kits + bits & pieces, but I'm not letting myself touch them until yours is finished!

I did some work on Lyn's bear today.  It has been a lovely sunny day and I have been sitting in the Wycombe Museum grounds doing some things to her - the bear I mean not Lyn!!!!

Oh Di, kits and bits and pieces - thats a bit fatal insn't it :crackup:

I haven't heard anything from my swap partner for two weeks now... bear_cry
Sent her a pm last week to ask if she got my last one, but nothing came back.....
Any idea what I should do know?

Ariane have you tried to email her rather than pm her - the TT messages might not go straight to her inbox but an email might.  Worth a try.

I just sent her an email^^

Edit:
