It's a great month for Bare Cub Designs

The cover of both Teddy Bear Times and

Teddy Bear Review

By popular request - presencia thread colours

 What's on my workbench has raised lots of questions 

so I thought I would post the information 

so you can all see 

Here are the numbers I have ordered

Also, while I think these are amazing value 

They are slightly smaller than some of the

sizes I have seen in the stores

Especially for $2.25, and 

keeping in mind a nose or feet don't use much

it's a great way to have a collection of colours

without the costs

Postage to Australia was 

only a few dollars so go crazy!

I'm glad so many of you have liked the post!
