Bernie's Bears & Whimsy

08/08/2025

Friends, I’m so excited to share that my page has a new name — Bernie's Bears and Whimsy!

Don’t worry — it’s still me making the same memory bears, dolls, and other handmade treasures you’ve come to love. The new name just feels a little more me… sweet, personal, and full of that whimsical touch I put into every creation.

I’ll still be sewing bears and dolls, but I’ll also be sharing new creations — like hair accessories, modesty panels, and other fun sewing projects. This name lets me do it all while keeping the heart of my work the same. I always did those things. Now I am just adding them to my page

Thank you for supporting my work and for following along on this creative journey. I’m so glad you’re here! 💕

He's finished. Please meet Harry the cross eyed dragon. He's sweet and loves helping people, but his problem is he tends to set fires a lot.

My painting I did a few years ago for my aunt. It's a little girl and a little boy building a snowman together and dreaming about their Christmas wishes for that year. The jar is covering the little boy. Sorry about that.

My newest memory bear. It was all hand stitched and I made sure the stitches on the clothes looked just like the stitches she would have made. The bear was made from her house dress and the bears clothes was made from her Pajama's
