I had 2 memory bears made and couldn’t be happier. One of the bears was for my daughter and one for me. They were made in memory of my son with some sweat pants and pajama pants if his. The embroidery is beautiful and they both turned out beautiful . We love our new bears and I will be ordering another when I find out what my grandson wants. Thank you so very much Ruth ❤️❤️

The bear that Ruth made me was ABSOLUTLY PERFECT and even more amazing than I could have ever imagined. She turned it around super fast and I can't say enough how amazing of a job she did.

They were perfect, I sent the shirts I wanted to use with additional notes. The bears were made exactly how I wanted. The email correspondence was great and she's quick to respond. Thank you so much!!

OK, I have to add to this because I can't really put into words how perfect these bears were. The little touches Ruth puts on them, ties everything together and they really were quality. If you want something made from a shirt you provide to her you won't be disappointed.

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!
