Sandra was kind enough to feature my bears in the latest issue of Australian Bear Creations. I haven't seen the mag as yet, as it's not out in NZ Australian Bear Creations was the magazine that started me on my bear making journey way back in 1997 - the first bear I ever sewed came from one of the very first issues. Back in the day, I studied those magazines inside and out absolutely in awe of the bears within its pages and never imagined that I would be designing my own bears, let alone having them in the magazine.
Having been questioning some life choices and feeling a lack of direction in the last few weeks, I guess I can actually feel a sense of achievement! I and am feeling a tad guilty as I haven't devoted nearly enough time to my bears lately. :redface: :redface: I should go home and sew tonight, as it's Friday here, but it's the perfect sunny day (a rare event here) and the beach will be calling me when I get home tonight.
Anyhoo....as my workmates looked at me blankly when I told them my news, I just thought I'd share here! 
Congratulations Melissa!!!
