Brumi

[wiseheart]

So, here is the last teddy made for the fair. His name is Brumi. I wanted to give him a pocket watch matching the vest but couldn't figure out how to do it so that small kids couldn't remove and swallow it. So he had to go without a watch.



His head isn't actually that lopsided as it is on the picture; somehow I managed to mess up the angle while taking the photo. But considering that I wasn't the one to cut out the basic shape (it was a discarded piece, in fact), he turned out well enough, I find. And now onward with the rest of the Santa's socks!

In other news I dealt with the Deutsche Rentenversicherung again, finally making them realize that the documents they asked for (again!) I've sent them two or three weeks ago. The lady on the other end of the connection discovered in surprise that they indeed do have them! And for that I'll have the phone bill of hell this month, as phoning to other countries is unreasonable expensive here. Grrrr!

I also went to the bank and dealt with some overdue things before choir practice, so I feel quite accomplished right now. What's more, I barely dare to mention, but I actually might get a solo part at the Christmas concert! Well, half of it; our choir leader has the vague idea of having two sopranos and two contraltos singing one of the solo parts, so cross your fingers for me. I want to do this so badly!

I'm especially partial to the name Brumi for a teddy. The teddy I've had since I was 5 or so is called Brummi. 🐻

Fingers crossed for the solo!

Brumi was the hero of one of my favourite childhood books. So I naturally had to name at least one of my bears Brumi.

Oh, sweet! Very smartly dressed!

Other people's incompetence is so irritating. I'm glad you managed to get eveything sorted out.

Good luck with the solo! *crosses fingers*

As I said, I really wanted to give him a pocket watch. I'm sure a young Welshman we both know would approve. ;))

[bk_forever]

Maybe you could make a Ianto bear!

I might try, but really, nobody would recognize him here. Torchwood isn't a widely known thing in our country.

i guess not. He'd still be cute though.

He is too cute for words. And I will keep fingers crossed for your sort of solo. :D

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

And for me not messing it up spectacularly, should I actually get to sing it. *g*

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you will be fine!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Your word in God's ear.

He is lovely.

The lady on the other end of the connection discovered in surprise that they indeed do have them! And for that I'll have the phone bill of hell this month,

How annoying!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, that's bureaucracy for you.

I love his fancy weskit!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

He's a very fashion-conscious bear. *g*

Go you!

Thanks. :)

Handsome fellow, Brumi! I am hearing the oohs and ahhhs already as people lay eyes on your beautiful crafts.

Bureaucracy. All that paperwork you've diligently sent, and they can't find it. How frustrating. Plus a long-distance phone bill. Shame on them.

Oh, how exciting to possibly get a solo part in the concert! Fingers crossed!

Thanks, I hope it will work. I don't mind singing a double solo, it takes off much of the tension that way, but shining a bit, even if I don't do it alone, is a nice feeling.

The Teddies are all precious! Crossing my fingers you are chosen for the solo! Best of Luck.

Thanks.

My fingers are crossed for you!

Thank you! I need all the moral support I can get. *g*
