Back in late 1991, I decided that I should make a special little pink teddy bear for a special little girl. She was the sort who carried her baby dolls around in the crook of her arm, their legs dangling below. I had a feeling that any bear she owned would also see the world precariously from about two and a half feet high – at least for a while.
And that’s exactly what happened. I did manage to take this somewhat lacking photo of the bear before she was off on her adventures way back then – before they were both off on their adventures.
Photo from 1991
The other day an envelope arrived in the mail with this inside.
The not-so-little-anymore girl drew this of the first bear I ever made for her. The pink is subtle but it is there. Here’s a close-up of some of the detail.
What a divine surprise! Now all I have to figure out is where to hang it – upstairs or downstairs.

This could not have been a more wonderful gift. What a perfect likeness. I love the bear and the drawing. I think I would have cried.
Beautiful! So touching, and I know you'll cherish it. What fun it would be to see a photo of the bear today...but you can tell from the drawing that she has been dearly loved.
Hugs to you!
