Who are we???

We are a family of Teddy Bear Lovers (or Arctophiles if you want to use the correct term). My name is Sue and I am the main Teddy Bear, I started collecting bears about 15 years ago and loved to go into shops to see what new bear I could buy. Nine years ago I found out how to make my first teddy and I was hooked. My Father, at the ripe age of 88, is also on the bear making team. , Dad makes all the joints and the furniture, so that all the bears are comfortable and dont fight over who sits where.We also have a good friend Lyn who helps at markets and is also very busy making bears and bear clothes

We also have three dogs, Sasha the Labrador, , Roxy the Jack Russel and Lucky a cross maltese. They also get involved in the bear making business, by greeting all who visit us.  Roxy also loves to sleep with the bears when it gets cold. So we always have a few bears on the settee to cuddle up to.
