Little Rose

This time, Röschen is entirely handmade; I sewed Rosenrot with the sewing machine. I still think a teddy bear made by hand comes across better—it feels softer and nicer to hold, in my opinion. Before anyone asks, I spent about 5 1/2 hours working on this teddy bear

Best, Inge

Wow, hand-sewn! Your little bears are so beautiful and cute :-)

Wow, Inge. What a masterpiece. And sewn by hand, too. You’ve created a real gem of a teddy bear. I love it. That’s my kind of color, too.

Your little rose reminds me a bit of my pink teddy bear from when I was a kid—though that one was still stuffed with wood shavings and was pretty heavy. Unfortunately, it got lost during a move.

Wow, Inge, your bears are getting better and better. This one is particularly beautiful. You can really tell it’s genuine handiwork.

You just have to love this one—I want to give it a big hug right away, Inge. You’re a true artist!
