Custom Teddy
"MaDeDa"
"MaDeDa"
I finally finished another special custom teddy.
Once again it took me longer than expected
because there were lots of unplanned doctor
visits and other things that kept me every
place but home. Oh well, that's life!
Teddy is finally finished ...
and I am so pleased with the results!
I hope Deb will be happy with her special teddy.

Hugs from MaDeDa I hope this special teddy from your mother's mink stole will remind you that your Ma is always with you. |
“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.”
― A.A. Milne

Bonus Bear!
A gift for my friend Deb.
Here is one of my Comfort / Travel Bears ...
they are like little "security blankets".
Most of my travel bears were Chemo Companions
for my friends that were fighting the Big C.
This is just a Silly Old Bear that I constructed
out of your mother's mink stole and necklace scraps.
And it is my special gift to you because you have been so sad
since your beloved mother's passing.
I hope this little bear with bring you a little comfort.
This silly little teddy would love to accompany you when
you are sharing your dance expertise with others ...
maybe teddy will even be some source of inspiration,
wouldn't that be lovely !!!

Teddy fits in your mother's necklace bag for traveling with you. |
The back of the bear is the label from your mother's mink stole. |
The body front is from the lining and monograms from your mother's mink stole. |
As you can see, this teddy is just the right size to hold in your hand. This teddy was not meant to be A Work of Art ... It is simply a gift of love to my new friend. Bear Hugs~ |
