The Three Bears

 Once upon a time I met a very nice doctor. He was a cardiologist and was up to date on my condition. We hit it off and I actually enjoyed my frequent visits with him.  I learned that he had two little girls aged seven and three and in the winter of 2024 he and his wife welcomed a baby boy. I sent them a little gift to celebrate the birth of their son.

Every time I had an appointment he would show me photos of his adorable children and it inspired me to knit something for them. When I gave it some thought I knew that I would make them Teddy Bears. After all, everyone needs a Teddy Bear to tell their secrets to.

First I made Sunshine. I always make the head first so I can chat with them while I make the bodies. 

This is Sunshine.

Next was Berry. 


Finally came Sky.


The three bears were finished.

I put them in a gift bag where they could see out and delivered it to my doctor's office. They created quite a fuss among the nurses and the patients in the waiting room.  He was so pleased.

Unfortunately the doctor has moved to a different city to practice and I miss him and his little family but I'm sure the three bears are in good hands.
