VALENTINE BEAR WITH HEART PILLOW
This is an item that I designed a couple of years ago for as a gift for my at-that-time girlfriend for Valentine’s Day. My girlfriend at the time is now my wife and mother of our two daughters. She asked me to make one for a friend of hers. The one that I made for my wife was two shades of purple. This Valentine Bear and his accompanying pillow can be made any colors. It can even be made in just one color if that is what the creator desires.
