Hey everybody,
First off I want to say I hope you are all well and safe. In an attempt to save her sanity mama mary has been playing more with us teddys.
Today she will start changing out our valantine
Dresses and will replace them with our Easter dresses.
Love to all
Stay out of trouble

Due to a complicated real life situation mama mary was late getting us bears up and running for valantines day. So we are going to post a few pictures now. Unfortunately I personally don’t have a valantines dress to wear so there are no pictures of me.
This is a picture of bessie bear on the left wearing a dress designed and sewn by Mary’s mother ruth wagner back in the 90’s, and a picture of sweetie bear who also wears a dress designed and sewn by ruth wagner.
The next picture is becky bear on the left wearing a purchased pre sewn daisy kingdom dress and brownie bear wearing g a dress sewn by mary mama from daisy kingdom
fabric and a paper pattern designed to fit american girl dolls.
Then a picture of bears and dolls. The doll are wooden hand carved itty bitty hitty dolls. Mama mary either crocheted or sewed all the dresses on these dolls.
Mama mary just purchased a new serger (a type of professional sewing machine) so I am planning on making me some pretty holiday jumpers.
HOPE you all had a good valantines day and that you are all well.
Take care

Well here are some of my friends sitting around un dressed waiting to be redressed for post Christmas.In lieu of winter clothing mama Mary has decided to go ahead and dress us in our valentine dresses. Aunt geri is getting some surgery in February and mamas time may be scarce by then.
.they are getting cold sitting there and wish mama would get busy dressing them. Nobody likes being ” a bare bear.”
Take care all .

Well we were able to get aunt geri up the steps and into the house. Unfortunately it was a dialysis day and she did not feel well that night.Ma ma mary commissioned a knitted mouse by a terrific designer and knitter in the Ukraine. Here is a picture of aunt geri with her little mouse and also little brown knitted bear also from the Ukraine which is one of my little buddies having been adopted by mama mary last christmas.
And there is a picture taken with miss susan and brownie bear when were at miss susans for dinner. Miss susan has been mama Mary’s friend since they were both 10 years old. It has been a ,lasting and beautiful friendship spanning 60 years.
And next there is a picture of the floral arrangement sent to mama mary by miss susan.
It was a nice Christmas if just a bit bittersweet owing to
Aunt geris illness.
Ya’ll have a safe and happy new year.
Take care

BIG BROWN.BEAR ADOPTS AN ORPHAN CUB FROM ENGLAND
Big brown bear just adopted a
Little “merrythought” bear cub from England she is really sweet and a bit shy. The other bears are calling her “cubby”.
It will be fun for the bears this christmas to have a little one around the house.
Take care everyone and have a wonderful holiday.

MOLLY DOG
this is what molly dog looked like when we left home this morning.
She is thinking “why did we move north?”
Today my little buddy Bessie bear and mama Mary are going over to bridgeville to take aunt geri to lunch. Bessie wanted to wear a pretty Christmas dress but mama Mary insisted on her dressing warm. It is 19 degrees here and after mama being in the Carolinas for 26 years says if it is 19 degrees it may as well be 0 degrees. She is not a happy camper. She is even wearing a undershirt under her sweater.
So she dressed Bessie bear in knit pants and sweater with another cardigan sweater on top of it. A hat and even mittens. The sweater and hat is hand knit but not by mama Mary. It was an Ebay acquisition years ago. The hat is great, it doesn’t smash her cute little ears.
It takes all long time to get aunt geri out of her house and up on the street to get in mama marys car. Then she has to load up her Walker and we will be out in the cold. The whole time. When we just go to lunch we take the big rolling Walker with a seat but when we take her shopping we have to load up the small travel wheelchair which is hard for mama to do. SHE IS REALLY SHORT, and has to lift things over her head. Sometimes she slides it in from street leval but that doesn’t always work.
Mama Mary has rods in her back so she has to be careful
.she looks so pitiful that complete strangers stop and help her. Some people are so nice, and we try to remember to pray for people who help us. The really important thing to aunt geri is that she gets out of her house for fun on days she does not have dialysis.
Maybe we will have more photos later.
Stay warm everyone .
