I sew the gusset from nose to neck firt on one side, then on the other side, then I close the chin seam.. does that make sence :doh:

Berta

No, this is a brand new show. Before they had another show in Wallau, but it was at the same day as another big show.  Unfortunately, also this show is together with another big show, only about 70 km from each other. I already signed up for the other show, before I knew about this one.  Pitty, I wish orgenizers would communecate with each other, I am sure exhibitors would love to do both..at least I would.
I hope though that both shows wil do well!!

Thank you everyone for the congratulations, thank you Bobbie for explaining my work in detail, I couldn`t do it better.

Berta

That`s me.. 

I to wil be in Wiesbaden, we leave tomorrow. My stand is in 103. We have been there on that same spot for several years now and love it there  .
Hope to see some of you.

Berta

I wil be there as partisipant..  so is Bobbie Ripperger.. 
I heard so much about it, and now I am going to see it all by myself!
2010 soon wil be here...

Hugs,
Berta

congratulations to all nominees!! I made my votes.. boy was it difficult!!
Good luck to everyone!!

Berta

I wil be there too, second time in hall 2, stand # 31. In september we were first time on the new spot and many didn`t know and had not found me
This time I hope they wil..it is always a risk to move to another spot I gues. I added a little preview on my website.. I wil add a few more bears in the next days.. please note I can not take much from my shop, like supplies, patterns and fabrics, so if you want to be sure I bring something for you for sure, please let me know in advance, before friday, and I bring it for you.

We wil fly to London already on friday, as on Saturday I participate all day the Fimo workshop from Manda Theart. I have no expirience with Fimo, so I do both of the workshops she is teaching for beginners and advance. Unfortunately there were a few cancelations, so if anyone likes to participate, here is your chance. Those who have met Manda on Hugglets before knows her amazing work !!  I hope to learn from her the basics and maybe in the future I can make eyes and noses from Fimo .. wishful thinking here.. ...

However, if you would like to join you can find a link on my website to see and read more about the workshops Manda is going to teach.

Wel, have to get busy now..Friday soon wil be here!!
Berta
PS: We will miss chatting Ellen!! Hope you feel better soon!!

This morning I received an email with the list of all nominated bears for the TOBY awards and  my bear Elf was in the list. I see so many posts here already and pictures of winners, Congratulations everyone !!  How do you know so quick your bear was nominated?
Elf is a bigger bear, crocheted and with a little bit needle felting and a lot wet felting. She is nominated in the non traditional materials catagory.
Hope you like her.
Berta

I know, I  said it before but like to say it one more time here.. Congratulations Maria!!   
You deserve it!!  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

The nominated bears for Ted World Wide 2009 are now on the website and waiting for votes.

http://www.baerreport.de/_ted/ted_2009/ … niert.html

My bear Violet is nominated in the Master Class, Mixed Materials, Dressed. The nominees are choosen from a proffesional jury, so I am very proud to be one of the nominees.  To win in a catagory depends on the votes we can campagne for.

So I humble ask to please go cast your vote, maybe for Violet if you like her.. and for Penney Ahmed who is in the Artist catagory nature bears and for all other bears in each catagory.  You can vote in each catagory 1 bear.

Thank you sooooooooooo much!!
Berta

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE !!

Berta

Gues I was just a bit to unpatient..lol... I just received mail from Wendy that my bear Rose ended 2nd place!!

Wow, I am happy.. she did realy good for such a little girl.

Wendy said she is going to sent her back next week with the plaque.. I look forward having her back home again.

Berta

Is the number next to the bear, the place won?
My bear Rose has number 3, does it mean I am number 3 in my catagory?  I entered in catagory 10.
I have not heard from Wendy, or anyone else.. hope my bear wil be back home soon. She looks so tiny in her catagory..lol

Congratulations to everyone!!
Berta

Thanks so much for all congratulations!

I feel sad    I have missed Sabine. Leo said he talked to some bear-people, but forgot the names.  Kre-welt was our last show.. you are right Maria, I need some rest and can take it now  .
Thanks so much for concern.

Hugs,
Berta

Back from Krea-welt, and finally recovering from the flu, (poor Leo had to be 3 days, on the 4 day show, all by him self, again..sigh.. )  I like to tell, I also received a BBAA nomination for ROSE.

I feel she is the best I made so far, and brought me several nominations. I feel I am a very, very  lucky, and soooo happy!

Here she is again: ROSE !!

I like to say Congratulations to all Nominees in BBAA. It wil be great to see all together!!

Hugs,
Berta

I received my copy yesterday.. I think it is getting better each year!!  :clap: 

Berta

Congratulations Maria and Mikki.

Wil you be saturday or Sunday in Essen Maria? Can you please come by my table to pick something up for Christel.

Thanks so much and see you soon!!

Berta

Always looking and searching for new mini fabrics I bombed into this wonderful fabric.. similar to long pile with grid backing, but longer fur. The fur if this new fabric is 4.5 mm long !! 
It comes in pure (of white), smokey (bright grey with black backing) and misty (creme with brown backing). 

Dangle Bear in the picture is made from Misty.. !!  I made him as example for the kit I take to the next show this weekend. 
Hope the visiters like him. 
Berta

I wil be there too.. I have a new spot, Hall 1 table 31 from now on.

See you soon!

Berta

Thank you so very very much!!
I am so proud of Rose..she also is nominated for a TITA and now on her way to Japan !!
Wish I could go with her...maybe somewere in the future.....................

Thank you again!!
