Dreli-Bears Apr 21, 2011

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!!!!

beary hugs from Austria

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:

Amazing.  Mine is still in the works, started but now where near done.  You are quick.  Can't wait to see pictures of it posted.  Hope it has a safe journey

WOW! how speedy were you! I think I am ahead of some of you and approaching the finishing line but still a few things to do 

Dreli-Bears Apr 22, 2011

Ohhhhhhhhh I hope mine will be loved     , 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.

Oh wow, how do you get involved in a bear swop?

dangerbears Apr 22, 2011

@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 have nearly made my little bear for my partner, i have so many things going on at the moment that i needed to start asap and each evening when i finish work, have walked the dogs and done dinner...... yes i have cracked on with it, as i was worried it would get put off to another day, you know how it is....... but i am so pleased with my little creation so far i hope my partner loves the end result.

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.

Mine is ready to be stuffed and pieced together, then I will sculpt and shade him.

Karon May 4, 2011

You folks are SO quick!  Lyn has also PM'd me to say mine bear will be on its way :dance: .

I just want to say to us slower ones    don't panic as you have most of the summer to complete your bears!

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!

Karon May 4, 2011

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:

Fallenrose May 4, 2011

I haven't heard anything from my swap partner for two weeks now...
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

Lovethosebears May 4, 2011

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.

Fallenrose May 4, 2011

Ali, good idea - hadn't thought about this one.
I just sent her an email^^

Edit:
ah, she replied to me - she was on holiday lol

Mo Beary May 4, 2011

My bear from Andrea - Dreli-Bears has arrived.  Emily is the cutest bear  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance: - I love her lots and am so thankful for Andrea being my swap partner - She also sent some chocolates YUM YUM - Thanks again Andrea!! :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

I will let Andrea post a pic for me.

I mailed my little bear to Andrea today so I hope he arrives safe and sound!

Thanks again Karon for organizing the swap!!!
