How it all began for me...

My dear mum taught me basic bear-making in 1996 after I'd had a minor op & wanted something challenging to occupy my recovery time. So I have her to thank for putting me where I am now - surrounded by mohair fluff, joints, stuffing, shot, glass eyes & pattern pieces!!!

But the end result is an ever-changing display cabinet full of cheeky companions ready for adoption :o)
