Seamore CollectiblesCongratulations and well done ladies!!!! 
Congratulations Maria!! :clap:
I too have a TITA nominee, the N.O.S.T.© bear (Also nominated in the URSA challenge) is traveling to Japan for display and final voting.
Hurray!! 
And oh.. I almost forgot :doh: (not realy..) I was #1 in the Swiss Teddy Award last weekend. There was only one catagory, bears had to be between 25 and 35 cm, undressed with 1 or 2 accessoires. I hope to post picture soon. My computer crashed and I only can go online to read mail on another computer.
Look forward to hear who all is nominated !!
Berta
puca bearsHi Berta
and multiple congratulations to you! Isn't it exciting :dance: :dance: ???? First time I've entered a mini, and he got the TBS nomination too...
We've been having computer troubles too - thanks to the total ineptitude of the Deutsch Telecom...at least we have the computer working again, but still no phone...AAARRRGGGHHHHH - dealing with them really is like banging your head against a brick wall

Creative Design Studio (RKR4CDS)Polar Bear, Stargazer, also a URSA nominee like your wonderful N.O.S.T. bear, Berta, is also a 2008 TITA nominee. Gosh. I hope we're not in the same category!!!
They will be off to Japan for a long visit - on display until Spring 2008 - which is why this one international contest is dated so differently from the others.
Matilda Huggington-beareI love your 'Bluebottle the bar fly" !!! What's a TITA?

puca bearsThanks, Wendy - glad you like him! I just had to pass on the news to the very nice customer who reserved Bluebottle - she's got a LONG wait ahead!
I believe the TITA is something like Tokyo International Teddy Award - I could be, and probably am, WRONG...anyway it is a Japanese teddy comp...all very exciting!

Here is my Teddy Bear Scene Readers Choice Nominee, URSA finalist and TITA nominee: N.O.S.T.© (New Old Style Ted) nominated in the C catagory. No Bobbie, we are not in the same catagory, my bear is 17 cm tall, to big for the mini catagory.
Congratulations and GOOD LUCK to all nominees!!

O.K. - here's Bluebottle the Bar Fly - I'm still a bit stunned, but really pleased that he has a TBS award nomination, and now the TITA! And now the little chap will be off on a big adventure..all the way to Kyoto!
Thanks everyone for the congratulations - much appreciated.............as I've said before, being able to share exciting news with friends makes it even better!
Oh, and a big thanks to Kassity for the lovely wings, without which Bluebottle would never have taken off

Wild Thyme OriginalsCongratulations ladies!!! Well deserved nominations for all of you!
Berta..... how are those flowers done? I sense I am looking at some kind of needlework that I am not entirely familiar with. 
Beautiful!
Kim Basta
Creative Design Studio (RKR4CDS)Ho ho - you've asked a deep question Kim!
This lace technique is called Oya. There is precious little written about it. I seem to remember that it comes out of the Baltic/Turkish/etc areas of Europe/Asia (I've forgotten its exact origins.).
After Berta discovered it, she sought out a teacher and traveled a number of times to Amsterdam to learn it. I've got a 2 samples of it here and cannot figure them out - it's driving me nutzzzz.
I'm pestering Berta constantly to teach me (I've got First Dibs!!) and to publish about it. As usual, there so little time & so much to do...
Congratulations everyone on your nominations- eeeek so long to wait for the results! The suspense!
Bears by EdieCongratulations to all the nominees - great work and well deserved for all of you!
