Symbols of Love

Symbols of Love
SaturdaySelf-Challenge: Love: anything that symbolizes love to you.

These three teddy bears I hand made years ago each symbolize people I love. The bear on the left was a teddy I gave to my dear friend, Jean, who passed away two years ago. Her family returned the bear to me, and I treasure it. The bear in the middle wears a sweater hand knitted by my late mother. It was the first sweater she made after learning to knit. The little bear on the right I affectionately named "Dicky" after my husband Rich who thought it was cute.

I wish you all a good weekend, and keep safe!

Thank you very much, Jenny, you are so kind! It has been a long time since I made a teddy bear, and I still have material to make more. Seeing you make your adorable soft toys inspire me to make some as well. :-)
