“Love and creativity in every stitch”
Teddy bear TIMES & FRIENDS
Ashton Magazines
I am honoured and tickled pink.
I was able to have my creations in three of the awesome United Kingdom magazines
I love Creating Creatures BIG or small
Using Mohair, Canadian made Vintage Faux Fur or even Real Fur…
I use a variety of Safety Joints & Eyes
or Cotter Pin Disc joints with German glass eyes.
One of my major suppliers is:
Laura Martin, from Shamrock Rose Treasures in Ottawa, Canada

🇨🇦 I have been creating my own patterns since I was a very young child,
Long before I ever learned to read a commercial pattern.
You can read my journey of creating in the issue #264, Teddy Bear Times & Friends
Issue #274
My #04 exlarge big bunny ” Hernder “ can be seen down below bottom row middle
In issue # 264
This was such a great honour and opportunity to be published in a Teddy Bear Magazine
It also gave me the opportunity to tell my story of my charitable contribution of 100 Bean Bag Critters and Bears. Since then I have donated over the 100 critters and will continue to have them up for adoption at my select few shows I still can be found at in Ontario. 100% of the funds is donated to the Friends of Beaverdams Church 1832
** My oldest sister gave me my very first Teddy Bear & Friends Magazine many years ago.
For her December 27th Birthday I created a shelf sitting Bear for her . I created it without a pattern but it turned out much like the one on the cover she gave me below.
Along with creating and designing Teddy Bears and Critters I do enjoy woodworking.
One of the many items I created and designed from wood is my rocking horses
I have sold many Horses, Donkeys and Moose’s over the years they are child safe and came in different sizes. I did this
at Art Shows and Festivals across Ontario.
I did design my exlarge bunny series to be displayed on them. Which you can see below and sometimes in my booth
Jasper was #02
The first #01 ExLarge Bunny was Jaxon named after a very special young person
The first time one of my BEAR creations was published in
Issue #262, Teddy Bears Times & Friends
This large “Party Bear”
Has 5x Cotter Pin Joints
German Glass Eyes, Silver Sparkle fabric on the Pads & inside Ears
Stuffed with Canadian manufactured Polyester Fibre
“ Sherbert “ was adopted at the ***Winona Peach Festival just after he made his debut
Sherbert #01
I was able to be listed in the 2023 Hugglets Teddy Bear Guide
