PS: Thank you. thank you, thank you to those beautiful angels who helped me complete my Elegant Lady homework so that  I could join in the class this weekend-- you are just so special...

Lotti class number 2!

Look what the girls have produced in Monica's second Lotti & Sniff class. They are all so cute!
It was such a busy day on Saturday......Bear Essence was abuzz with lots of chatter, cake and bear making.

Every seat was taken around both our big table and our small one as both Josey and Monica were teaching today.

Lotti by Monica Spicer is on her way

Monica's newest little pincushion pattern is now available.
You get the instructions to make the elephant, pin cushion, hat, dress AND little Fimo friend.










Here are the pictures of last Saturday's "Lotti" class.
I cant wait to see what next Saturday's girls can do!

A bit of friendly rivalry.....?

Just another Saturday at Bear Essence....?

Look what happens when I have a day off!

 The girls had Monica teaching them "Lotti" .... looks like she kept them busy and happy. Check the website for more photos!

Somehow this feels like deja-vu....

Elegant Lady with Monica Spicer

It was such an eventful weekend with both Collingwood and St. Kilda supporters in class on Saturday. Maybe the draw was a good thing for bear class.
I would like to thank all of our gorgeous ladies who were in the class over the 3 days. I am sure I speak for all of us who attended the workshop when I say it was WONDERFUL! They all turned out so beautiful (and elegant)..... HUGE thanks to Monica for a wonderful 3 days ....and the yummy chockies.

G O   P I E S !!!!!!!!!!!
Wishing the best team in the  AFL all the luck in the world today--- you truly deserve it...  Go Pies.... we're behind you all the way (or at least Josey, who has descended from a long line of one-eyed Collingwood supporters, is !!!)
