Mo Bear Designs

Teddy Bears by Design



Hello and Welcome to Mo Bear Designs,

My name is Jane Blowes and I'm from a small Southern Alberta Town called Redcliff.  I have lived in Redcliff most of my life with my husband Steve and our daughter Tara. 

We have 2 grandchildren, Nikki who is 5 years old and Hunter who is 2!  They are our joy and we are very fortunate that Tara, Mark and the kids live across the street from us.  We usually get to see Nikki and Hunter daily!

I have been making bears for about 3 years and designing my own patterns for the last 1 1/2 years.  I really enjoy bear making and for someone who didn't sew a stitch before bear making I have come along way!  Just ask my husband!!

I work fulltime so unfortunately bear making is a sideline.  I would love to make bears fulltime but I have to fund my mohair habit somehow!   I'm also partners, with Sharon Kirvan, in a home base Teddy Bear Supply Store called Paws '2' Sew.  Paws '2' Sew was opened in January of 2004 when our local shop closed. 
If you would like to visit our website it is:


As for the name Mo Bear Designs.  When Nikki was born as a joke Steve started calling me Mo and the name stuck.  So now the grandkids call me Mo instead of Grandma - I actually like Mo better than Grandma.  So there grew Mo Bear Designs!

Anyways I hope you have enjoyed reading a little bit about me and I hope you will enjoy having a peek at my bears.  If you have any questions and would like to e-mail me please feel free to contact me at teejays@telus.net.

Take Care and Bear Hugs to All,

Jane
