Ever have this feeling...

Been awhile since I posted due to too many other things going on around me.   Have you ever had a space of time where you have lost your drive to create things on the bear front?    How did you overcome this?

Busy Busy Busy

Hi all, its been a busy 12 to 18 months for me, studying completed, running our kids around to their various sports and school commitments,  building a house (ongoing), and back to bear making- finally!!!!!!!.

Its been a while since I posted on my blog which I am really sad to say, but I just haven't had the time.  :(

Looking forward to the Woodend Show for those who are trading or visiting this year, please come by and say hello, I am there this year again after a brief absence last year.

Here is some more details, as its fast approaching this weekend

Cheers for now, Karen.

Our winter escape

Well we spent a lovely week away in Hobart, Tasmania, at the beginning of July, it was cold indeed but it was a holiday away from home, just what we needed.

During our week away we were able to catch up with some native Tasmanian's. Tasmanian Devils. This was Binti in action. Nice teeth....

Here is a lovely skyline of Hobart

Back to normal now at home, working, eating and sleeping.
