As I was looking, I came across this positively perfect platypus pattern. {Ok, that was some spectacular alliteration, and I have to admit I didn't even plan on it!} He comes from the Funky Friends Factory, the brain-child of Aussie Pauline, who designs and sells the patterns in her down time.

As I browsed the website, and was completely torn by which one to buy, I also came across information about a free pattern download for the Honey the Easy Teddy Bear Pattern.

All you need to do is buy any one of her other patterns, OR simply sign up for the Funky Friends Factory newsletter. How cool is that?
The patterns are simple to follow and you can choose to have a pattern mailed to you, OR instantly download it and get started immediately {the option I chose, since I am such a procastinator}!
In addition to the free Honey Bear pattern, Pauline also encourages users to take part in the "Billion Bears Charity Drive" to make and donate as many bears as possible for any charity of your choice.
I was so delighted and surprised at the Honey Bear pattern, that I may even try to squeeze a couple in for some kids I love before Christmas arrives, and thought I'd spread the word too.
I'll try to share my own versions once I get them done!
after christmas I expect a platypus.
