let's be honest...
Every bear is NOT cute and cuddly.
(Yeah, we said it!)

Now let's say it LOUDER for the people in the back.
Now let's say it LOUDER
for the people in the back.
Every. Bear. Is. NOT. Cute. And. Cuddly.
Too many are sad, sad little plushies.
You know it, too.
Just take a scroll online.
You've seen the basic bears, sitting with their zombie stares, NOT asking you to love them.
Even THEY know that being bought - yes, on sale - doesn't mean they'll spend their lives making someone happy.
So you take matters into your own hands.
How hard could it be, right?

DIY a bear with personality, but the Cuteness Code is harder to crack than Eyeore's mood.

I Can Hear You Now...
→ BUT, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
→ I BOUGHT ALL THE (RIGHT) SUPPLIES,
→ I FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS, BUT...
The bear's eyes are crooked
And not in a cute way.
Its Mouth is twisted
Like you scribbled it on with embroidery thread.
Its fur stands on end
Leaving you frustrated, angry and confused.
Forget That 'a for effort'
Especially, when the bear has a lumpy belly to boot.

PROBLEMS ASIDE, YOU IGNORE YOUR WORRIES BECAUSE: IT'S A BEAR AND SOMEONE WILL LOVE IT ANYWAY.
So off you send your Franken-bear, straight into the world. One Teddy Fits All, RIGHT?
But bear love does NOT come easy. Children run. Babies cry.
Don't laugh. We've seen it.
Parents toss your Franken-bear onto a dark shelf, in a cold, cold closet. NEVER to be seen again.
Why, you ask?
LET ME BREAK IT DOWN.

A bear, SIMPLY BEING A BEAR, doesn't make it magical.
Unless, there's a Connection.

Hi, I'm Penelope.
CHIEF BEAR ALCHEMIST
I've spent nearly 40 years perfecting a formula to crack the Cuteness Code of that special bear-to-human connection.
It all started with a gift.
Hi, I'm Penelope.
CHIEF BEAR ALCHEMIST
I've spent nearly 40 years perfecting a formula to crack the Cuteness Code of that special teddy-bear-to-human connection.
My 13-year-old heart skipped as Momma pushed the wrapped box across the table.
I tried to act like a Young Lady, sitting there in my Sunday Best, but I was STILL a kid at heart.
So I snatched off that ribbon and tore through miles of tissue. Inside was the floppiest bear with cutest cable-knit sweater and crooked eyes. (These had character.)
I. Couldn’t. Speak.
One Look and Albert had me at Hello! Learning how that was possible and how I could cast the same spell with MY bears, fueled my life-long, bear-making obsession.
That's the straight story.
The backstory is a dead-end-chasing, bear-head-throwing expedition littered with Franken-bears and charm-challenged Zombie bears.
Shoot! I bearly knew how to sew when I started. (Note to my 13-year-old self: Being the offspring of a sewing genius DOES NOT make you one!)
Nearly 40 years later, I've broken down the Spell that connected bears put you under and created a formula that transforms a basic homemade bear into a Plushie Powerhouse with maximum adorability, personality and charm.

The backstory is a dead-end-chasing, bear-head-throwing expedition littered with Franken-bears and charm-challenged Zombie bears.
Shoot! I barely knew how to sew when I started. (Note to my 13-year-old self: Being the child of a sewing genius DOES NOT make you one!)
