Happy 4th july!! 
Ooh, sounds fun! Im in!
Thanks for you tips and the link to the tutorial.
I will make more bears, and train on them, and if they get ugly, mum can get them, as she loves my bears (she cant make her own, she think they are to tiny).
Hi Sandra,
Well, I have some pattern myself, but I have used others too.
But thanks for the tip! I will try them and see what the bear look like. :)
And about that stuffing part... I would like to think I stuff firmly enough, but I will try even more on the next bear.
You can see my bears on my flickr, if you want too. :)

Hi everyone!
I have a little problem, which I have had all the times I have made bears. I have done both bigger bears (about 25 cm) and then I found miniatures, which I love, and have made since then. 
My problem is about noses. I cant get them as nice as all other peoples noses. 
When I have sewn the muzzle, and the head is done, my nose is a little pointy, so when I embroidery the nose, I make it a triangular (hope thats the right word). It looks like a V, with the "inside" part of V is filled with black thread of course.
The thing is I want to do other noses too, like oval shapes and square ones and so. But it seems to me that it wont work, as my nose is already pointy. I have read that people put a piece of felt under the nose and stuff, and that will work, I guess. But how do you sew so it become a nice shaped nose, that isnt pointy? And a nose that you dont need to have pliers to pull the needle through the fabric? (Which happens to me all the time, as there are so much thread on the inside nose).
Hope someone can help!
I was thinking about going that nose-course at e-bearz, but I thought it wont hurt to ask here, at Teddy Talk. 
I do have my first teddy bear too! Not sure if it is the real first one I got, but he have followed me thro the years.. Got him on my first birthday. A little brown bear with white in his ears and on his paws...
My best toy and bear.. Now he sit on a shelf in my bed room, and taking it easy
Ooh, congratulations!!!
Thats so great!! :D:D
She is lovley!! A real cutie I think!!
Dont know if this is the right place to put this, but I just wanted to tell you that I finally have broadband in my flat, so I will be here much more now! 
Oh, I might be a little late to this, but better late then never!
My mum is members of alot of quilting-groups online, and when I visited her last weekend she said to me that she was gonna make 3 ATC. Whats that? I asked, so she explained what is was. And then I helped her make one card. And as it was for a quilting-group, they had to sew them. At least I think so.
And mum´s group have monthly ATC-swaps, so mum will for sure make more.
Now I have been lazy and didnt read all pages 
, but are you gonna swap every month or just now and then?
It was good info in the beginning tho, cause now I will tell mum that the ATC can be painted and so too!
Sounds like a fun idea anyway!!
Hello all!!
Im back!! For a little while anyway! hehe
I hope Im back for real, if I can get my internet to work at my new flat. I have moved - again..
And now Im trying to get my internet to work, but it wont...
The thunder hit mums pc, thats one reason why I have been away so long!
Hope you have missed me! 
Dilu - I dont like any water! lol I have drank water from here and there in Sweden, and water (with-out bubbles) in bottle and.. I dont know. Dont like it at all.
I have tried to put cucumber in it, and when is ice cold its really nice and taste so fresh! But now when its warm.. Dont like water with lemon/oranges in it.
Someone told me you can put vanilla in water, but I dont know how! :'( hehe... but i drink milk instead.. I just Loooove milk!
Dilu, I know this might sound crazy, but you know that you can be stressed by not doing anything...? But if you are that not-stressed as you say, I dont have any more ideas...
I really hope you will find out, and solve it! *hug*
Dilu.. Water is good.. But I cant drink that. Dont like the taste...
I was to my doc, and got to see some people, to learn how to "use" stress. Learn how to deal with it, and try to stress less. I dont know if you stress much, but I know that alot of people stress without knowing that. Those tiny stuff that need to be done all day long and so..
Try to relax 10 min each day.. Listen to some calm music.. And just RELAX! Dont think of what you need to do, just sit and have a nice time off.
Im not that good in relaxing. So I did go, and I got acupuncture. (hope i spelled right) I was there abour 10-12 times, and it helped my headache!
Just an idea.. I hope your headache will go away! *hug*
Its same here, the general look. So far all my bears have been boys... :P
But Im making a girl now, and it WILL be a girl, cause Im gonna put a dress on her.. Hopefully she will look like a girl too! lol
Im sorry to hear about your headache Dilu. I have headache myself, and I know it can be very hard, and painful!
Hope your doc can help you! Mine hasnt.. But I have got glasses when I read at sit at the pc and so.. And I eat painkillers everyday.. 
*big hug*
It depends of what mood Im in. Sometimes I want to listen to hard rock/metal (tho it is softer ballads...).
Most of the time I like to listen to love songs. Have alot of Love CD´s. And most of the cd´s are those with all different artist. Everything from Celine Dion to Alice Cooper, but I dont mind as long its love ballads.. 
Haha nancy! That was funny! 
When I read all this Im glad to live in Sweden! We dont have black widows or tarntulas or cockroaches (except in the big citys maybe). We only have small spiders that will eat whole of me!
I cant stand spiders! Cant even thouch a piccie of a real spider! And those in plastic and gum! yikes! I scream, and then I ruuuuuuun!!
At the moment we havea big (not so big actually, just about 1 cm the whole spider) black scary one in out bathroom upstairs. He sits there in his web in a corner, behind the toilet, and I get nervoues everytime I dont see him. As long as I know he is in his corner, I can go pee. But when he isnt there... oh my...
Im sure I have been bitten by "house spiders" several times, in my sleep. But thats ok, cause I dont know what it is.
Maybe the big spiders at you in the US, have read Harry Potter, and wants to be such a big spider, so they can really eat ya! lol Just kidding..
But remember, a house with spidersm is a healthy house. The wood it is made of is still fresh, and your house is in good condition.. To see some positive with all the spiders ;)
If you want my opinion, kill ´em all!
Grace is a great name!
What about Marie Celeste? A double-name.. or just Celeste if you like that better. Think that is a beautiful double-name!
I have ordered the book today, from a net-bookshop. So hopefully I will get it soon! I wasnt gonna buy it, as I have read them on swedish, but Im just so corious, and will read all the pages! *puh* :P
Do you have tapes/CDs where there are alot of people talking? For each caracter?! I want!! We have CDs here in Sweden too, but its a booooring male voice talking, and it dont sound that exiting.. :(
I rather stop making bears and read the book myself!
Im sorry to hear! Sounds very strange tho! I have never had problems with Hotmail, and now Im so happy cause the inbox is now 250 MB instead of 2 MB! :D
Hope you can find your emails again!
Oh, they are lovley hun!! I really like the one with stars as her eyes! But the one with heart is very nice too!
