WHY YOU SHOULD TRUST ME

I've spent more than 40 years making and selling irresistible, handmade bears that formed lifetime bonds with their people.

Along the way, I cracked the Cuteness Code of this special, teddy-bear-to-human connection. 

Today I teach sewing enthusiasts, teddy bear lovers and the teddy bear curious how to build that connection in their own, huggable bears.

When you make an irresistible bear, you’re building a home for someone’s heart and all it will weather . . . in this big, wild world. 

Some think bears are just for kids, but these icons relieve stress and anxiety in people of ALL ages.

This emotional connection and childhood nostalgia are driving what market analysts predict will be a $9.4 billion industry by 2031. 

FOR TEDDY BEARS ALONE.

That’s an annual growth of 4.3% from $6.4 billion in 2022. 

Nothing beats a classic.

Even if it didn’t start out that way.  

Sales, you see, didn’t soar more than 100 years ago until the teddy bear lost its edge. 

How? 

Stay with me. Check your email on Saturday. 

And snuggle up for a good read.

TUNE IN AND DITCH THE ZOMBIES

It’s my private podcast about WHY you should make a bear. 

Even if you think you’re . . .

  • Not creative enough

  • Don’t know how to sew

  • Pressed for time

It’s time, you see.

Time to ditch those lifeless bears with Zombie stares that lumber out of the same copy-and-paste factories.

MAKE ONE (A BEAR) WITH HEART AND CONNECTION. 

I KNOW you’re ready for something irresistibly different because, well, here you are. 

Warmly,
