Teddy Bear one

My children's schools are doing a fun Christmas activity; they are doing a toy drive for a Women and Children's crises center in Ogden. They are also making baby hats for the center and tying quilts. I have been helping with all these activities and it is keeping me super busy lately.

The bears my daughters are donating are one-of-a-kind, 100% hand made, no machine stitches in them anywhere. My children earned the money for the supplies for the bears, then I donated my time to make them. I have 1 1/2 made; my youngest got to take hers today and put it on one of three trees holding the bears at her school.

First she had to say good bye because these are not any old bears; these are one-of-a-kind, made by mom bears that they got to pick out every fabric and detail on.
We also visited with Santa Claus today; that is why no posts earlier in the day. He also heard what their schools where doing and donated 4 more bears for them to take to school tomorrow on top of the three we are sending. Santa is so cool!!

  1. What a lovely thing for all of you to do, truly evocative of the Christmas spirit of giving. I am truly touched by all of you (including Santa).

  2. Great pictures! I might see about constructing a crocheted bear for one of my nieces. Think I can pull it off before Sunday morning?
