Hannabears

After I relocated to Texas a few years ago, my Minnesota granddaughter Hanna sent me a tiny teddy bear that she had created from colored cotton pompoms, a pair of plastic jiggly eyes, and scotch tape to hold it all together. Then, after watching a cable television feature on Carolyn Seals and her wonderful bears, I bought one of Carolyn's bears on ebay, and decided I had to learn how to create my own.

My Texas grandkids serve as consultants and cheerleaders, and test-hug the finished creations. Granddaughter Madeline has made charming necklaces for some of the bears and helps in selecting ribbons for their bows.

I hope you will enjoy my bears as much as I’ve enjoyed making them!
