Devon Teddy Bear Hospital


A few weeks ago I was asked if I could help Lionel. Lionel is such a beautiful old bear how could I refuse.


Lionel normally sits in the window of a house over looking Plymouth Sound. If only teddy bears could talk. Lionel must have the most astounding views at his look out post.
A while ago his arms had to be totally replaced. It's a sad fact no matter how much we love and take care of our teddy bears, they age.


Lionel as you can see needed some new paw pads this time.


He spent a few days here at Soggibottom.


Until his owner came to pick him up.


Joani and Lionel reunited. 
I do love a happy ending.  


Soggibottom's cottage blog is back, up and running again. 
Freya is as always over at The Cat Flap Cavalier.  

 Thank you to everyone for all their messages, flowers and especially for all the love sent to the cottage over the last few months. 


See you all soon :-) x x x

    I have two old teddies up on the shelf in my kitchen. One is wearing a little pilot suit with flying goggles, the other is in a bowtie. I can't imagine not having them around.

    Lionel looks so much better now. Had he been running marathons?

    I love how your restore the bears and keep the original look, he is such a cute bear and I love his vest. I have been playing with needle felting and thinking a bear would be fun to try.

    You put so much love into the bears when you create them, and it shows!
    The Teddy Bear Hospital is the perfect place for sick teddy bears! We are so happy you made the little bear all brand new! And did he get a new sweater vest too?
    Lionel's mom look so happy!
    And now Lionel is happy too!
    Beautiful job you did!
    love

    LIONEL is thrilled with his new feet ( they had been very sore ! ) He was soooooo pleased to find Mrs. Soggibottom and Catflap the dog. He can't recommend them highly enough and I think that he is missing them all.

    Looks like the poor little fellow did a lot of walking or dancing and wore out his paw pads. Glad he has nice new ones so he can continue to dance.
