Each teddy bear is unique in their own way, just like us. Sometimes the little things in life are the greatest. These teddy bears are made with love. They just have to win the heart of that special someone.
As far back as I can remember, teddy bears have had a special place in my heart. I started making my own patterns in 1990 on a cold winter day. I never imagined this hobby would bring so much joy. To all my collectors, I want to personally thank-you for helping my passion grow.
