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 !!

Hi 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

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.

Thanks, 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!

Congratulations 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!

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...
