Originally from Western Australia, and now living in Queensland in the far north coastal city of Townsville, I made my first bear – a kit mohair panda – in 1998 when my husband, Roy was working in China.

First experimenting with cream and brown synthetic because white and black was unavailable, my first effort had me hooked on bear making as soon as I had finished the face.

During my first year of bear making, when I made mostly synthetic bears from patterns in magazines, my family and friends all soon had samples of my bears.

This casual hobby soon turned to a passion for making bears and in 2002 I started designing my own bears. A limited number of Beary Loveable Bears have homes in California - USA, Wales - UK, Germany and Italy as well as in Australia.

With never enough time to make bears whilst working as a secretary, I quit the workforce in 2003. Roy and I made a lifestyle change which enables me to spend much more time working on my bears.
