WOYWW...

 Here we are at the last Wednesday before Christmas....how did that happen?  I would like to say a huge thank you to you all for your love and friendship over this last year....my Wednesdays really have helped to get me through it all.  Let's hope 2021 sees an end to this awful virus that has taken so many of our loved ones from us and we can all get back to living a 'new' normal life.

On my desk today are bears, bears and yet more bears....


The lady I made the one little bear our of the jacket last week brought me 4 more items of clothing to make 4 more bears out of....the lovely thing was these were another jacket, 2 shirts and a jumper so they made 4 very different bears....all lovely :-)



A young man came with 2 shirts wanting a bear made out of them but when he arrived he decided he would like 3 making :-)


Finally and by no means least I made this special bear for one very special little girl who is leaving her foster home and going to her forever home at the beginning of the new year.  She is like a little ray of sunshine so this little bear is just perfect for her.  I really love it when I'm taken into the heart of my customers and they share such special things with me and it was the perfect way to finish work before Christmas....and for those asking that now brings my number up to 403 Memory Bears :-)

Now that just leaves me to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hugs,

Annie x

Great to see the bears again today, I do love the ones made with checked fabric, they work so well. The little bear at the end will be perfect for the little girl, I’m sure she’ll love it. Hope you and Doddy have a wonderful Christmas away from the madness!

403 bears - my goodness, Annie, you could make these with your eyes closed now! Love the special little bear for the special little girl - why can't she go and live with her forever family over Christmas - why wait until the new year? What would be a better Christmas present than finding her forever family? I wish her all the happiness in the world! Thanks for your visit Annie - wishing you a very merry Christmas! xx zsuzsa #21

Oh Annie, love the pieces you make and share. The "Special" bear is such great news. So many forget to appreciate simple things, as others go thru such misery just to get by. I will peep by your Friday smiles I see awesome photos. May You and Yours stay safe and enjoy a very MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Hi I'm here at last. It's been a busy day as the washing machine is feeling poorly and the second guy has been out to try and fix it and we think he has now found the problem but can't complete the job until the new year. Following his visit we went to pick up the Christmas order from the supermarket. I have to say that the dancing bear is brilliant and must be one of my favourites. Take care my friend and wishing you a happy Christmas. Hugs, Angela x10x
