We have been so busy this month not only with 2016 leavers keepsakes but also we have been asked to make lots of bears for school charity auctions.

Just after Christmas we were asked to make 55 uniform keepsake bears for a lovely school called Emberhurst. Sadly it was closing its doors but the parents wanted to have a keepsake for their children and the teachers to remind them of the happy times spent at their school.
