Memory Bears From The Heart, Plymouth (2026)

02/02/2026

Hi all, I’m still here. It’s been a quiet page lately and I’m so sorry for that. I’ve been unwell and preparing behind the scenes for when I’m out of hospital and fully recovered from surgery.

I am still taking orders. Any new orders placed now will be completed toward the end of April, and the current prices will still apply until March, when some prices will unfortunately need to increase due to rising supply costs.

Thank you all so much for your patience, kindness, and ongoing support — it truly means the world. I’ll also be sharing some keepsakes I made a little while ago, just to bring some life back to the page while I’m recovering.

This little dog was created in memory of a much‑loved brother, using a couple of his shirts. He’s a special one — made by combining two different keepsake patterns to capture the personality and warmth behind the clothing. These pieces are always such an honour to create, and I’m grateful every time someone trusts me with their memories. 💙💙###

This large jointed keepsake bear was lovingly created in memory of a much‑missed and deeply loved husband, crafted from his cherished shirt jacket. Every stitch holds a story, every panel a reminder of the warmth he brought to those who knew him.

These special bears are more than keepsakes — they’re a way to hold someone close, to feel a little comfort on the days when memories feel heavy, and to keep a piece of their presence woven into everyday life.

A truly heartfelt tribute, made with care, respect, and the gentlest touch. 💙🧸 xx

✨ Hello everyone! ✨
I hope you all had a truly lovely Christmas and enjoyed some special time with your loved ones.

I’ll be back at my sewing machine this Saturday, working through the keepsakes that have already been fully paid for. My aim is to have all current keepsake orders completed before the middle of February, as I will be going into hospital for an operation shortly after. Thank you so much for your patience, kindness, and understanding — it really does mean the world to me.

Over the next few days, I’ll also be sharing some keepsakes I completed a little while ago, so keep an eye on the page for those updates. Each one carries such beautiful meaning, and I can’t wait for you to see them.

Thank you all for your continued support throughout the year. Your trust in my little business is something I never take for granted.

💖🎉 ✨ HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025 ✨ 🎉💖
Here’s to a fresh chapter filled with love, good health, and gentle moments that mean the most. Thank you for being part of my journey — may your year shine with hope and happiness.

PLEASE READ FOR CUSTOMERS
✨ Important Christmas Update ✨

I want to share something openly with you all. Over the years, I’ve poured my heart into creating memory bears, animals, and keepsakes, and I’m so grateful for the support you’ve given me for more than 11 years.

Unfortunately, I’ve been facing ongoing challenges with payments. Some customers have asked to delay collecting their finished bears until after Christmas, while others prefer to pay only upon collection. This means I’ve had to wait for bank confirmations and, sadly, it has prevented me from completing other keepsakes that could have been finished sooner. It’s simply not fair on me, especially as I’m working full-time alongside spending countless hours at my sewing machine to make sure everything is ready in time.

To keep going, I kindly ask that all payments for Christmas keepsakes be made within the next few days. Without this, I may have to consider stopping keepsakes altogether—a heartbreaking thought after dedicating over a decade to this work I love so much. Any questions I will be check my phone later for admin.

Unfortunately if I don’t hear from customers your keepsakes may not be finished before Christmas. I didn’t want to do it this way but I have no other choice.

📦 Posting dates: 16th & 17th December
🎁 Collection dates: 22nd & 23rd December (as I have more collections than postage this year)

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your understanding and ongoing support. It means the world to me. Xx

🐾 A Memory Dog 🐾
This special keepsake was lovingly created in memory of a much‑missed companion who has crossed over the rainbow bridge. Dogs leave pawprints on our hearts that never fade, and their absence is felt in every quiet moment—the wagging tails, the loyal eyes, the unconditional love.

Made from her own coat, this memory dog is a tender way of keeping her close. It’s not just a keepsake, but a reminder of the warmth, comfort, and joy she brought every day. A way of remembering, honoring, and holding onto the bond that will always remain. 🐾🐶 xx

This keepsake bunny and dog were lovingly made from a variety of different clothing pieces, each one adding its own charm and character. A fabric bag was added to both keepsakes, making them even more special. The mix of textures and colours gives each one a unique look full of personality and warmth. Xx

This keepsake elephant was made using a student paramedic uniform—a unique and heartfelt way to honour a special chapter in someone’s journey. Uniforms often carry powerful memories, and transforming them into keepsakes like this can be a beautiful way to preserve pride, dedication, and personal milestones. Xx

🌟 Over the years I’ve loved running little competitions—whether it was winning a bear or animal of your choice, or creating something special from character fabric with matching accessories.

💖 After 11.5 wonderful years of your support, I’m bringing the fun back as a heartfelt thank you!

Here are a few keepsakes from past giveaways years ago…keep watching this page, because another competition is coming soon! 🎉🐻✨

Please make sure you choose the Right Bear Maker

When you’re creating a teddy or memory bear, it’s important to choose a maker who understands the value behind the fabrics you’re trusting them with. A good bear maker creates strong seams, balanced shapes, and a bear that’s made to last — not just look good for photos.

I use interfacing on all keepsakes because it strengthens the fabric, prevents stretching, and helps your bear keep its shape. It also protects delicate or well-worn materials so your finished bear stays durable for years to come.

Choosing the right maker means choosing quality, care, and a keepsake that truly honours your memories.
