I made an early Christmas present for my mom, which I'm giving to her at Thanksgiving (I'm writing this post on 11/7 scheduling for after Thanksgiving to post just in case my mom reads this blog). This bear is made out of an old flannel shirt that belonged to my Grandfather. My grandpa passed away over15 years ago and my mom didn't get much when he died (not that she wanted anything, but something sentimental would have been appreciated). Luckily my aunt had this shirt and sent it to me. So I made the teddy bear -- which I'm calling Arthur after my Grandpa. The buttons from the shirt are his eyes. And the shirt still smells like my grandfather. It's crazy. I hope she likes it!
