Meeting in Singapore

2010-03-27T03:26:00.000-07:00

Its been a while since I posted, but I have been off to Singapore this month for a business trip to meet my work colleagues from Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, China, Singapore and USA. It was great to meet them, we had a fantastic team building exercise where we painted on a blank cavas I must say it was fantastic fun, I will dig out the pic and post it, and I work with a great team of characters who love to have fun and work of course. This was my first visit to Singapore. For those who have not been there, its a lovely clean place, no litter in sight, lots of shopping for those who want to (designer brands galore), a fabulous place to go out wining and dining. The weather hot and humid. All in all a great trip. Back to reality now!

Yes I have been making bears fantically in the meantime, I haven't dropped the ball there so too speak!!!!! Argghhhh yes its finals time in baseball here in Melbourne and we are sure loving it.

Christmas Cheer and Best Wishes for the New Year

2009-12-27T22:03:00.000-08:00

Well leading up to Christmas was very hectic, as it is for most, the school year came to an end for the kids with results and presentations, so did their respect sporting commitments, and our work functions as well as many of us trying to finish the year off on a clean slate and getting their last minute finances in place. I even got my beloved annual Christmas Cake made much later this year than I wished, it was still very yummy indeed.

After much anticipation, finally the big day (Christmas Day and Santa) arrived and we celebrated with family and friends, receiving many gifts of cheer, many cheerful stories, and way too much to eat.

We caught up with my family on Boxing Day which is always a memorable occasion thanks to my Cousin and his Partner for hosting.

We also fitted in some shopping yesterday making the most of the end of Christmas sales and spending some gifted money.

Today we all kicked back with less running around and tried to get back to normal in readiness for the New Year. Still on holidays for another week or so, I had better make the most of it, with getting in some bear making, which will be the first time in a while since Christmas, just tiring and hectic.

I wish you all the best for the New Year and hope to share some memorable occasions with you all.

Hugs to you all

Karen.

Mid Winters Break!!

2009-08-02T16:51:00.000-07:00

This weekend we travelled up to the Victorian/New South Wales border which is 3hrs + drive from home, we spent a lovely weekend in Wodonga, and stayed at Boathaven resort which overlooks the Hume Dam, fabulous views of peace and tranquility. We were there for my hubbies hobby which is involves plastic model building of cars, there was a show, so the family tagged along. We were able to experience the model show, learn about the history of the Hume Dam and visit a local Trout Farm and experience the thrill of feeding them, they are hungry little devils!!. From my own prospective it was great to see how others run shows in different hobbies and how they critique their work, very different to bears.

Yes plenty of sewing of bears was done during the trip as well.

Clickity Click!!!!!

2009-07-22T05:28:00.000-07:00

Its that time of year again, I have dragged out the old knitting needles, I am knitting a scarf at the moment and another special project for a doggie friend, when I am done I will post some pics to share. Hoping all is well with everyone today..

During the month of April our family travelled to California to attend a baseball sporting tour that my son Mitch played in, we had the wonderful pleasure of meeting some fantastic families and saw some fantastic baseball. Here are some snap shots. The BLE team from America won 5 out of 6 games.

We had the opportunity of attending the opening season baseball game at San Diego against the Padres and the LA Dodgers, my little friend "Mactavish" brand new designed bear is now a seasoned traveller he appears at this year Black and White Ball in June presented by Teddy Bears and Critters of Australasia, for more info please visit my website.

Our family had day trips to Disneyland and Universal Studio, and after the tour we hired a car and travelled to Bakersfield, San Francisco, Santa Rosa, Oakhurst, Yosemite National Park, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon.

Trip highlights were visits to Disneyland, Universal Studios, Yosemite, Alcatraz, Lombard Street in San Fran, Visiting the Charles Schulz Museum and walking the fabulous strip at Vegas. Hope you enjoy these photos as much as we enjoyed our trip.

My Swap Bear "Babe"

2008-09-06T03:41:00.000-07:00

Recently I made Babe for a Challenge and has now arrived with my swap partner at Bearmakers and Beyond, we had to redesign a challenge pattern doing a number of changes to the original pattern, I am sure you'll agree Babe is definitely a little cutie and has gone to live with his new friend in Sydney. Bon Voyage "Babe"

Finally this Big Bear has arrived!!!!

2008-09-06T03:29:00.000-07:00

This Big Dude is finally finished, thank you to my dear Collector Lyndal for your patience and understanding with my other commitments, your bear is done!!! He is one of my biggest bears so far at 60cm and heavy too. Your chance to name him now Lyndal, enjoy!!!
