Bear Swap with Joanne from Desertmountainbears.

Over a month ago, I asked Joanne if She wanted to make a swap with me, with one of her vintage looking bears! She agreed and I was very Happy!
We agreed to send our bear on  Dec 11 So they would arrive before Christmas!Edward, the bear from Joanne arrived in Belgium, good before Christmas and Gambel (my bear)
2 days ago!
GRRRRR
That was so embarrassing, but really not my fault!!
It had a lot to do with the extreme bad weather in Europe and also, with some extra safety matters involving packages imported to the states! Every parcel is opened I have heard and that causes those long shipping cues.

But Gambel finally arrived and now we can finally post about them!!
I am so happy with Edward, he is such a lovely bear!
I love his typically American "dungarees" or how is it called! Thank you so much Joanne for making this swap with me! I really loved it! :)

Alicia is getting really interested in this new bear!

Edward is the one with the jeans, Gambel is blue and Alicia orange.

Silkiesue swap

I made this pussman to swap her with a lovely bear from Silkie sue blogspot.

She is an English illustrator and makes  lovely toys.
I would like to swap with Stanley, (he has always been my favorite) But unfortunally Stanley is already adopted.
I hope Sam would want to make a similer one. Stanley reminds me of my own dog Milan. Thats why!
I inspired my pussman on her Silkiesue (cat) and
I think it would make a nice swap.
I am still going to crochet a jumpsuit for Silkiesue to give her more grey!

I had difficulties adjusting the colourdye.
She is a littlebit to much ginger now!

I hope Sam likes her!
I am a bit nervous about this post!!
I am not going to mail Sam, I want her to discover this post as a surprise :)
