I'm so stuffed!

It turned out to be true. 10 more pounds. See the one on the right? That's the size it grows to when you open the box! And that's even minus 3 teddy bears' worth!

But, I did figure out how this happened.

I ordered and paid for 10 pounds - we'll call that A.

The manufacturer, who I thought only sent me some nice knitting toys with my order, must have actually sent me knitting toys PLUS 10 pounds of stuffing. We'll call that B.

Then FedEx lost A. And Batt-Mart, the supplier, ordered a replacement. We'll call that C.

B got here just fine. Then two days later A showed up and today... C. Best I can figure at this point, you're looking at 9 months worth of teddy bear guts there. Holey moley.

Ooh watch out. Having that much stuff for the future means your life is in danger.

I think I know what to get you for Christmas: A 10-pound box of Teddy Bear stuffing.

Oh, another thought: You have said that you don't have room for all this stuffing (in previous journal entries). But maybe you could cover one of the boxes with colorful paper or cloth and use it as a sort of decorative cube in your condo, moving it around as your design fancy strikes until it's time to open it up and make it into teddy bear guts. Since you have two of them you could pile them on top of each other and make a little snack table or magazine rack. It's still random crap filling your living space, but it could be colorful pretty random crap.

You should be able to leave it in the boxes if you need. An option for the opened box is to use one of those bags that you attach a vacuum to to suck out the air. The poly-fil should bounce back, no problem, and your storage problem will be a little less... fluffy.

Now that's funny. It's like those old shows where the guy accidently inflates the life raft in the house.

I never thought about the stuffing expanding once you opened the box until I saw your entry the other day (week? who's counting lol.)
I saw bags of stuffing at Jo-Ann the other day and sure enough they looked and felt vacuum-packed. One had been punctured and was poofy and double the size. I think the person who mentioned Space Bags as an option is dead on.
