Twas the night before Christmas......

Here at my house, the bears are getting excited about Christmas!  They are waiting in anticipation for Santa to visit and deliver his goodies. 


It has been a busy time leading up to the festivities, I have been hard at work baking some Pudding Bears. 


Several will be hanging from Christmas trees around the country.  From Tasmania, to Western Australia and to New South Wales.  We can never have too many bears at Christmas time!


I would like to wish you all a Beary Merry Christmas! 
Best wishes for a safe, happy and healthy 2012 with many more bears to bring us joy.

P.S. Looking forward to eating the 'real' pudding my sister has made at our family Christmas lunch tomorrow!

A Worsley Bear on Holiday - Tasman's Travels.

When Tasman heard the trip to Hawaii was booked, he was thrilled.  He packed his bags and was pleased his passport had not expired!  Tasman was coming whether he was invited or not!

Tasman is a well travelled bear.  He has already visited the United Kingdom, Ireland, New York, Los Angeles, Canada, New Zealand and of course, parts of Australia.

Before the long flight, Tasman loved relaxing in the Qantas First Club Lounge. 
He felt like a VIB! (very important bear)

The first place upon arrival to Waikiki, Oahu was Teddy Bear World Hawaii! 
We took lots of photos and Tasman made lots of beary nice friends.

He received a warm Hawaiian welcome - Aloha!


Hawaii is a great place to snorkel, even for bears!

Bearack Obama was also very welcoming.

Tasman is now a huge fan of Elvis after watching his show at Teddy Bear World.

As much as Tasman wanted to stay at Teddy Bear World and play with the other bears, he thought he better do some sightseeing! 

He loved exploring Kualoa Ranch.  Popular television shows and movies have been filmed here.

Time for some rest and relaxation in Hilo. 
So nice and warm....bit different to Tasmania at the moment....

On the Big Island Tasman explored the Volcanoes National Park.  There was so much lava!

Because of all the volcanoes, some Hawaiian beaches have black sand.

This valley on the Big Island was beautiful.

The turtles were so friendly, Tasman had fun hanging out with them.


Tasman decided he needed a driving lesson,
it was tricky learning to drive on the wrong side of the road.....

He made it to the top safely.  It was a long drive up!

It was then time to return to the beach and enjoy the rest of the time in Hawaii. 
He was not so sure about this beach in Maui though....

 This is the life for a travelling bear!  He loved Hawaii.

Bye bye Hawaii!  Mahalo!

Moving Out.....

Yesterday I sent one of my Worsley Bears to her new home. 
She decided to enjoy the Tasmanian Winter sunshine before preparing for the big move to Victoria.
Then as it grew dark she decided to get organised for her departure.

It was beary tricky to climb up and get into her mode of transport.

"I made it!"

A couple of friends came to say goodbye....

In flight entertainment - popping all the bubbles in the bubble wrap!
"I can't wait to meet my new family!"

Welcome to the Blog of Worsley Bears!

I am pleased to have my blog up and running for you to see my creations. Some of you may already had the opportunity to see my bears recently in the latest issue of Australian Bear Creations vol.16 no.6. The bears themselves were beary excited to see their photos in print (as was I!). I do enjoy my bear making and hope you enjoy visiting my blog from time to time to see the old and the new Worsley Bears.
