Christmas Memory 7

When I was in LA and broke, I made my ornaments because I hadn't brought any with me and couldn't afford any. I had a bunch of fabric scraps and I made these little stuffed bears. I didn't have a sewing machine so I hand sewed all of them. I had a little $10 Charlie Brown Tree and it was covered with these little stuffed bears with button eyes and I loved it. When it was time to get rid of the tree, I dragged it outside with the bears still on it. I planned on taking them off outside to cut my losses in terms of needles to vacuum up. A few of the kids in the building said they liked the bears so I took my favorite off and told them they could take whatever ones they wanted. The tree was bare in a few minutes. My plaid button eyed bear is on our tree now. It's a fond memory of the kids in my building and my time in LA.
