Wow, a long time!

Seems I've not used this blog in....years!  Perhaps because I tend to post to the Facebook page on a regular basis. 
IF you encounter this blog and IF you are interested in it continuing, send me an email to bellybuttonbears@charter.net THANKS!
PS, in case you'd not figured it out, I create memory teddy bears for folks from treasured clothing or other keepsakes.  Also pillows and many custom items.    You can see them at BellybuttonBears.com

Update for April!

All fine here, busy with a variety of projects. Some bear related, some not, but all fun. Okay, not so much if they don't work the way envisioned! Done your spring cleaning yet? Have a box or trunk of family heirloom linens, or grandparents favorite clothing? Look at it again and think bears.

Holidays and family memories

Happy St Patrick's day to you all! One of our Great Grans was Annie Fitzpatrick, and although we never met her we've heard many a tale. Seems like the holidays bring more family memories to the surface; special times, stories, associated foods. Memory bears are a good way to carry on the family connections.

Don't have time to read?

Try audio books! I listen to books on tape, or CD, while at my sewing machine. It helps the time pass and I get to enjoy my favorite books. My other reading time is right when I go to bed, but that is usually only good for about 15 minutes until I drop the book, or my Kindle.

Just checking in....

Sunshine! All well in the den [which means if anything is lost I just don't know it yet, so I'm a happy camper!]

Howdy!

We have all kinds of bears in creation, some yet in the 'talking' stage. That is where we have several communications with the new family so we can plan their special memory bear or bears 'just right'
