Nonnie B Designs

The two recent bears I've made for my Etsy shop. One from a receiving blanket and one from a sweater.

I'm a newbie Embroiderer on my Brother PE770 and I'm so excited to learn a new trick! How to use a large double hoop! My nephew is going to be happy with his pillow case with large words that go all the way across!

Sent these two guys home last week! I hope they are loved as much as I loved making them!

Lisa loves her bear! And thank you so much, Lisa for the Etsy review! I have to say, I am very happy with the way this bear turned out!

As I was going though boxes of clothing items of the orders I am working on and putting them away for the night, I came across the box of shirts my stepmom gave me of my Dad who passed away in April. I opened the box and lifted the 4 folded shirts up just a bit to see the different fabrics and an overwhelming emotion overcame me of grief, love, sorrow... Just remembering my dad in the shirts, his smell still lingers... And I looked at the other shirts of the orders I am working on and I felt the love of those people for their loved ones. I love working with people on their memory items and I love that maybe I have a small part in their healing process. It is truly an honor to work for you all.

My niece loves her bear!

Special bear for this handsome little guy made from his Daddy's shirt. His dad could not be there when he was born because he is working over seas. A little part of Dad was with him anyway! 💙 This is why I love making these memory bears! Welcome to the world little one! You are loved! 💙

I will be shipping these two bears off tomorrow!😍

I took a break from sewing bears and made these two little dolls. Sydney started off helping with cutting out and sewing, but like most 7-year-olds, lost interest. What was supposed to take one evening took two. Far from perfect, but the girls love them. Now back to the bears!

Shipping these two cuties today! I hope Jill in Illinois loves them as much as I do!
