I come from a family that likes to sew and knit and cross stitch, Granny, Grandmother, my mother. My sister and I always received a special hand made gift every Christmas, the beloved slippers. I still have the snake that was knitted and filled with beans (long gone) and the little blue monster guy who has lost his hair many moons ago. Then there was the Melissa doll, she has a heart stitched on her with a M in it and clothes to go with. Granny and Grandmother are gone so my mother carries on this tradition for our girls. All the girls, Liz and my 3 nieces, all received one of these bears last Christmas. Each bear is a little different since they were all hand made and the outfits they wear with it's cute little silky britches and a silky jacket and ears hiding under that hat! They also have the initial of the owner stitched on them, right where their hearts are. The bears are a treasure and will always be treasured.
