I made this teddy for my niece as it's her first birthday coming up at the end of July. Along with other things I have bought her I wanted her to have something homemade by me that she could keep forever! So along came chestnut (that is the bears name). This is where my 'Homemade Smile' journey began. After the frustration of putting this bear together I was very pleased when he was finally completed. I loved the sense of achievement that I finally finished it! OK he is not the most handsome bear out of the bunch but he is very fluffy and made with love. I hope when Maizey (my baby niece) grows up she will be proud of her auntie =)
