After I posted the pictures of the tatty teddy I had made, Lilianah's mom asked if I could make a bear with the port wine stain and surgery scar to resemble that of her daughter's as closely as possible.Lilianah has Sturge-Weber Syndrome which is a condition that has a characteristic birthmark and neurological abnormalities. I received a few different photos and so transferred the shape of the stain onto the teddy bear's face.   The joy that Lilianah experienced when seeing a teddy bear look alike can be seen very clearly in this picture her mom posted on my Facebook...

Carrie Underwood celebrates her birthday in March. This year I got to make her a custom handmade teddy bear for her special day. So what sort of teddy bear does one make Carrie?

What fun he was to make and I sure hope she loves him. Till next...
