Introduction	I have been making bears since about 2001 I think and they have changed enormously since the early days. Although I don't collect many other artist bears I absolutely love old bears. I like making my bears to look old and scruffy. In the last year I have been making more and more dog with a few other animals thrown in including Giraffes which are one of my favourites. I live with my husband and have 2 gorgeous daughters who are 23 and 25. Anna is a Teacher and Amy is also teaching in Sicily
Interests	Bears of course!! Walking, swimming and reading when I have time. I enjoy amateur dramatics and seeing musicals
Favorite movies	A couple I can think of at the moment are Schindlers List and Notting Hill
Favorite music	Like a bit of reggae and classical
Favorite books	Not without my daughter

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?

It will be made out of vintage mohair and will commemorate the fact that I persevered!!!!!
