© Nioka Bears 2011 All Rights Reserved. “Nioka Bears - Last Words”  1st June 2010   Well....the time finally came for me to move on to other things! Life’s been  pretty ‘full on’ lately plus I am busy working on a new project which means I  no longer have the time to dedicate to the bears or this website so the time  has come to put it to rest! To all my valued customers and supporters over the past 11 years I say  thank you! I wish you all the best in your bear making & collecting  endeavours! It’s been great fun sharing this craft with you all and I will  treasure the wonderful friendships I have made along the way!  Best wishes & happy bear making!  News Update - 9th December 2011 Due to requests, for the time being I will continue to offer the ‘downloadable version only’ of my bear patterns via this website. ALL patterns are simply just a flat US$10.00 each! You can access them here! You can also access the Pulled Toes Doc here! Enjoy!
