Hi Tara,
                 :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup: All of my synthetic creatures look like Chewbacca at first!  Frightens me everytime!

He is adorable!     I hear models need lot's of "beauty rest"... :crackup:

Congratulations Kimberly...he is beautiful!   

             Hugs,
                  JeannieB

Aww...Kimberly :redface:  Thanks for telling me that!! Made my day..... I love that bear, too!
She was special because I was making her for you!     I am very proud of my
"BearBottoms" bear, Alexander!!!!
   I have tried to crochet some....but; after 25 years of it, my hands and arms ache.  I'm not used to it anymore!

       Hugs,
         JeannieB

Hi Mary,
     Never too late! Thank you for the size chart.
   I made a bear from a black mink jacket. She  is 6" tall...so, a miniature! My first time! She has wire armature and miniature joints. I really got a good taste of how difficult it is to sew and turn these little miracles!  I truly admire the artists who create the "little ones" :clap:
    Hugs,
         JeannieB :)
PS I did not make the tiny bear! Sorry about the pics...I've never been able to take good pictures of black bears! :photo:

Hi Judi,
       I can imagine it's a ton of work  to compete as you have!  I, for one really enjoy seeing your creations in competitions and otherwise. 
     Your article in Teddy Bear and Friends: Sugar Bear, is really a neat way to share your talent.  I'm thinking about trying it!
    Maybe bear awards don't necessarily make you a better artist.....but, inspire others to be!?!
   See how you feel in the Fall?

          Hugs,
             JeannieB

Hi Lisa,
    I live in NC. There is an event coming to Galax, Va. on October 10-12.  "Steiff on the Mountain".  Bev White (Teddies To Go) will be there.....you may find that a good "hands on" experience.
   Try:    bearlyamemory.com     for more information.

      JeannieB

Hi,
      Congratulations on your pregnancy!! Tell us when you know it's a girl or boy.  
I enjoyed my visit to your web-site. Soothing colors and easy to use....plus, I just like looking at your adorable creations!

          Hugs,
              JeannieB

Great article, Paula! Your pictures are fabulous :photo:

          Hugs,
            JeannieB

Amanda,
  Hmmm.......I don't recall paying a "fee" for any purchases I've made from EU. I must not be spending enough?      Shipping costs to the UK are high. 
     I am curious to see if anyone has more information on this. I want to buy the "Charlie Bear", Jorja.  I haven't been able to find one, yet.
        Hugs,
         JeannieB

   I'm happy to hear "Smudge" has a hoppy ending and new home!!

                    Hugs,
                      JeannieB

Thank you Christine and Amanda.      I am still tinkering with my pattern trying to get it proportioned the way I want it to look.   It's hard for me to conceive cutting a whole bear from a 9'' x 9'' square! Good thing I got two of them

        Hugs,
           JeannieB

Hi all,
    Silly question here.    :redface:    Is the size of a miniature measured when sitting, or standing?
  I usually say my "giant" bears are 14" sitting and 16" standing. I guess I truly don't know how to measure, exactly

         Hugs,
           JeannieB

Hi Judi,
     Sent you an e-mail with my old bears info. hopefully they are related! Maybe, Farnell and Parisi manufactered similar patterns?? If  I found one I would send it for free!!!  :hug:

                      Hugs,
                         JeannieB

Alexis,
     I'm sooo glad you started this post! I have learned a lot and just placed my Sassys order!
Wish me luck....in the mini world my "normal" bears are giants. Can't wait to see my pattern in a mini bear.....

            Hugs,
             JeannieB

Hi Lisa,
    I'm sorry to hear that the "joy" is missing! I live a few hours from you in Caswell County, NC and hoped one day to meet you or see you at a show near us.  I will keep looking at your blog and admiring your work

            Hugs,
              JeannieB

I love them both....but, Cupcake Bears really does suit them  

                          Hugs,
                            JeannieB

Yeah! I'm glad you had a good time there! Thought about you over the weekend
  Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures :photo:
