'Each bear has a story'. This was a quote from a customer recently who was absolutely right. Each bear does have a story, especially Remembrance Bears. Made from sentimental clothing, they can help through the grief of loosing a loved one. Of course its lovely to make bears using baby clothes and even Wedding dress bears, but somehow, Remembrance bears are that little bit more special, and I love making them. I recently made a bear for a lovely lady. Her Nanny had just passed away and she asked me to make two special Remembrance bears for her using Nanny's clothes. I do feel very humbled to be even asked. Anyway, the clothes arrived and I started making the bears, using a dress and a cardigan. Here was the finished bear: 
I was even more humbled when she sent me her own picture of her Nanny in the clothes I had made the dress from. Even though I make these bears, I am somewhat detached from the person I am making them for and detached from the clothes that they once belonged to, this photo really made what I do so worthwhile and the bear becomes real.  A follower of mine recently posted this on my Facebook wall, which sums Remembrance bears up perfectly: "There is no better way to hold onto someone you love for eternity. It is the closest bond in your heart that is held in your hands."
