My design for the 5" Berenguer Doll

Welcome to Raspberry Ridge Bears

My name is Theresa, and I am a create-a-holic.

I love to create mini things.

I have always, even as a child been creative.  From my handwriting to everything I made, it had to be unique.  I wanted to be unique, so I created.

I was able to draw well, learned to knit and crochet at a very young age.  I loved art with a passion, loved painting, throwing pottery, sewing, decorating my house, floral arranging, scrapbooking, making beaded jewelry, anything that I could get my little hands on that had to do with being creative, I was all over it. 

For all of my years, (and NO, Im not telling my age LOL) I cannot even remember a time that I wasn't passionately doing some creative project(s). 

It's just who I am, and how I'm known, even to my family.

As I got older, I started to really appreciate the pure therapy that crocheting and needlefelting offer.  You can lose yourself in your craft.  You can forget all that ails ya, when you crochet, needlefelt, scrapbook, or arrange your house with all new pretties!!  :

My Italian grandmother taught me to crochet when I was about 6, maybe 7. 

I love little dolls and bears, and I really love to crochet little things for the dolls, and needlefelt little bears.

My smallest bear has been 7/8 of an inch (crocheted), and the largest so far has been 12 inches tall, hes still sitting in a basket waiting to be put together, I crocheted him, and then needlefelted his face to give him more character. 

For right now, crochteting little clothes for the 5 inch dolls is bringing me tons of satisfaction, the gals who order from me, keep me busy as hell, but happy as a lark!

: )

Sooo, thank you gals for all of the special orders, changed orders, added to orders, multiple orders that you have given me, and thank you so much for bidding on my little creations here on ebay!

BLESSINGS!

Theresa
