    About

    • This is my 21 inch fully jointed memory teddy bear. She has hand painted eyes and was made from a ladies nightgown.
    • This is a queen size+ memory quilt. It was made using all of the t-shirts collected by a gal for 4th of July.
    • Posing for their screen shot. They're looking very dapper. These fellows are 17 inch fully jointed memory bears.
    • Here are 6 cute 15 inch fully jointed memory bears. These gals are made using a dress, a Christmas vest and sweater.
    • 3 memory pillows made from grandma's favorite shirts!

    This is more than a business; it is my passion!

    I got started first making soaps and lotions in 2001 after losing my full time job. I decided it was time to go out on my own. Since then the business has evolved into my passion. Not everyone gets the chance to chase their dreams and help others while doing it. My memory bears have brought many good memories back to their owners and given solace when needed.
    My bears have been featured in Teddy Bear and Friends magazine in 2012, 2014 and was again in the articles section in the July 2016 issue. I love teddy bears and I love making them. I am always working to bring new things into the shop that are different from the rest. So stay tuned for more additions!
