We will miss you Josey!!!

We had a lovely day in Josey's Saturday class today. An amazing lunch and afternoon tea was provided by our wonderful ladies to wish Josey well on her Mediterranean cruise and European holiday. A huge thank you to Roz who prepared an amazing array of yummy treats. We were all spoilt with vol au vents, mini quiches, gourmet pies and croissants. If that wasn't enough....then there were the sweet treats. Profiteroles, peppermint slice, caramel slice, licorice allsort slice, mud cake, strawberries and cream.....need I go on? Needless to say .... we had another fun day at Bear Essence and wish Josey the "best time ever" as she sets off on her exciting adventure. We will miss you Josey!!!

All we have been doing for the past couple of weeks has been packing, packing and more packing.  NO we are NOT moving!!!  We are getting ready for the Melbourne Craft & Quilt Fair which is going to be held from 22 July - 25 July...

And what is it that we have been packing???   Answer:  Kits, Kits and more KITS...

 

So come over and visit us at the Fair, we would really love to see  you there...

We needed more room!!!!!!

There has been so much going on in Tooradin over the past few weeks. We have only been here 6 months and already we need more space. Thanks to my wonderful hubby Tony, it was like watching one of those renovation shows as he knocked down walls and rebuilt new ones, created a storeroom, fixed up the kitchen, installed cupboards and hooks, a new paint job ..... and all in less than a week!

We are now enjoying the wonderful new space in our gorgeous little classroom nook.

Come and enjoy it with us.....?

A Fondue pyramid.....?

More gorgeous "Fondue" bears were born on Tuesday after 2 wondeful days with Helen Gleeson. Everyone did such lovely work and most finished early. Thank you for an amazing few days Helen.....and a big thank you to all the girls who joined the classes! We can hardly wait for next years......

Fondue with Helen Gleeson

We are so lucky to have Helen Gleeson back in Melbourne to teach her gorgeous little mink bear "Fondue". Two very full days with lots of trimming, trimming and more trimming! Just when you think you might be almost done....you guessed it....MORE TRIMMING! These little "Fondue"s all turned out so amazingly beautiful. Well done everyone! For more pics click here
