Hi! I'm Brenda Parker, the designer and creator of BrendaBears.
I was drawn into the wonderful world of bear making in 1993. I have always loved sewing and everything creative. For me, what began as a craft business quickly turned into an adventure in the teddy bear industry.
These little creations are my passion. I love to watch them come to life and bring on a personality all their own. It is truly rewarding.
Each of my bears is lovingly designed and made entirely by me from start to finish. Because they are handmade one at a time, each bear is born with its own personality. No two are exactly alike. I use both machine and hand-stitching in the making of my bears. I strive for perfection in all my creations and use only the finest quality materials.
I sell my bears worldwide from my website and through online shows. I have won two URSA awards and am proud to have been a featured artist in the 2008 August issue of the online teddy bear magazine Bears and Buds.
My husband, Brian and I live in beautiful Jackson, Wyoming nestled in the majestic Teton Mountains. We share our home with a delightful Siamese cat named Misty.
We are very blessed to live in this gorgeous scenic area with breathtaking mountain views all around us. Both my husband and I love to spend time in the mountains and enjoy many outdoor activities. There is no end to the recreation available...finding time is another thing.
