Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Both of the pictures are great, Kimberly, but i think that on the first one your lips look too pale. I do prefer the second one, which is much more colourful.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
I whish I had a studio too and so much space to stock my teddy bear making materials....
You did a great job, Tami!
Enjoy messing it up again!
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Mind our French ice skater, girls: Brian Joubert will try to get silver medal!
Fingers crossed he manage to reach the podium!!!! 
FRANCE!
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
PS: I was proud of our French men in the moguls, but they could not reach the podium: two many great concurents! Americans are really great at it!

Well, Scott, the bear was very small and they did not show him well. all we could see is that he was dressed, about 6 inches tall. We could not even see his face. 
And I am sorry, but I cannot remember who was the woman who showed it...
Please, forgive me!
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Scott, I whish i had read your post earlier.
Iwatched the halfpipe snowboard this afternoon. This was women finale. Therewas one athlete who showed her bear mascot when it was her turn. Unfortunately, I cannot remember which one this was.
I remember I thought I would have loved to see one of my bears instead!
so ONE BEAR WITH A FEMALE SNOWBOARD ATHLETE.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Dilu your cats are soooooo cute!

Beary hugs,

PS: don't forget the clock pics!
Oh, dear! It must be very painful indeed! I hope there is nothing broken...
Finger crossed your toes will heal quickly...
Take care,
Beary hugs,
Sophie. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Have alot of fun with eyes, girls!
i am going to use glass eyes for the first time on my swap bear!
I did not know that topaz eyes were kind of yellowy colour. I thought this was some green colour. I realized that while looking at glass coloured eyes on web sites.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
That is a good question.
But definitely keep some money for your wedding and honeymoon.
Please yourself buying some mohair fabrics you usually find too expensive, like kid mohair.
Buy all the teddy bear making materials you've been dreaming of!
But definitely send as much money as possible just to please yourself!
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Oh, Jo-Ann, i am so sorry to hear about your son. the most important is that he does not need surgery. He will eventually heal, thanks to the doctors etc.
I hope your next nights will be better.
All my best whishes to your son.
I send you an ocean of hugs.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.

Well done, Estelle!

Dear friends,
I cannot accept that. Danni has worked too hard on it. That's not fair.
WE MUST SAVE BEARWITCHED!
Please, Danni help us see what we can do for you to keep Bearwitched working!
I agree with Nancy that maybe if many of us participate, we can keep Bearwitched alive!
Danni, please, give the list of all tasks that are time consumming and we could share with you!
I can help.
Who else?
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Hello Jenny,
It's Malko, Sophie's boyfriend.
A good trick is to play the fax-answering machine. When you pick up the phone, don't say anything for the first few seconds. If it's a friend or relative, he'll speak first and you'll be able to recognize the voice.
If it's an unknown voice or the personn does not speak, say something like "Hello this is Jenny's fax machine, I'm on-line waiting for a fax, please recall later." And then hang up.
My own fax machine does this, and it quickly discourage unwanted phone callers .
Hope this will help you get rid of these .... 
.
Friendly,
Malko.
Oh, dear! I whish I could help, but really, I have no idea...
Can your phone give you the phone number of the person who is calling you? If not, maybe you could by one.
Then, you could play an odd game... no idea if this is clever, just a suggestion.
Lets say some ennoying people call you a first time. You keep their phone number in memory. Then when they phone back, change your voice and just say: "Here is the mortuary of Hospital ****, how can I help you?" or something like that.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Great job!
Lovely expressive bear!
I am in awe!
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
I have to confess I don't understand what you are talking about? Please explain it to a French girl!
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Oh, poor poor poor darling cat!
i am so sad for you! 
I send you loads of hugs. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Oh, Daphne, this is a big white tower building with two "bands" of windows painted in bleu-grey. You can see part of it better in the second picture in the right!
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
I have received my first Orange Blossom Bear from Gina! His name is Wee Midas and I love him soooo much.
Here are the pics of Wee Midas from my bedroom window.
He is very happy with all his new friends.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Some of you asked for an anime bear, so here she comes!
Please, meet ChocoCerise (choco for chocolate, the colour of her mohair; cerise means cherry, the colour of her nose, mouth, etc).
I have not totally finished her; I am waiting for extra strong thread to do a bit more needle and thread sculting around her eyes.
I made her Rocaille bead ornaments but am still waiting for some sun to make nice pics... so be patient, please!
So she is made with chocolate brown short pile mohair, quite dense. She has got amber plastic safety eyes (I promise I will try glass eyes on my next anime bear).
she has a four part body and has got such a big tummy that both malko and i finally decided this bear was a pregnant bear!!!
She is filled with super soft heavy uncarded polyester and has plastic pellets too in her belly.
She is fully jointed with plastic safety joints.
She has felt paw/foot pads. I sculted her toes.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
PS: ChocoCerise will be adopted by my Chinese friend Hong (Hong means red).
Your explanations, Irène
Sorry, the following comes in French for Irène.
"Lecturer" veut dire Maître de Conférences, encore désigné sous l'appellation Enseignant Chercheur en Université. autrement dit c'est un poste comportant une charge d'enseignement en grande partie sous forme de cours magistraux (en amphithéatre) et de la recherche en laboratoire.
Sorry, dear friends, I had to explain to Irène what "Lecturer" means.
Thanks again for all your support: it warms my heart.
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
