Since 1995, I have been 'Handcrafting Hugs.'
I created memory bears from my grandpa's fur coat he had worn in the 1930's.
I was so proud of my keepsake I took it into work to show other's...and then my hobby grew.
"Welcome to My Bear Den"
I love creating keepsake teddy bears for others to enjoy-sewing & crafting since I was in elementary school. I purchased my first sewing machine when I was 13 years old.
I reside in Southwestern Ontario with my hubby, recently retiring from a fulltime nursing career. Mother of three, life was very busy along with working shifts. I was often 'caught' sewing in the car waiting for hockey practices, soccer, guitar or piano lessons to end.
I design my own pattens & create each teddy from start to finish. Each bear is created from your fur...the one stored at the back of the closet that everyone has forgotten about or you may wish to adopt from my collection.
