Happiness

I received the bears that I ordered. I cried and laughed looking all of them. They were wearing my husband's flannel work shirts. The bears will be given as Christmas gifts to my granddaughters and daughter. I know they will be so happy to receive them.

My Bear is perfect but my Elephant is above and beyond!

My bear is made with my Dad’s favorite flannel shirt. It is absolutely perfect. I could not imagine it being any more perfect. But the Elephant I had made with his old chefs apron and pjs was so beautifully put together it is a true work of art. And the artist even used some of the shirt for its tail. Thank you Patchwork Bear!
