Super Ma Ma's Bears

My friend's mom who is in her 70's showed me a collection of her hand-made bears when I went to her house last Friday. I was in awe - each one painstakingly put together, using real fur and mohair for most. What I am most impressed with though is the philosophy she adopts for her bears... She told me that each one is of a different shape and size and not one is MADE PERFECT. "Animals are just like humans, they are not perfect, no?" she said with a big smile!

Well said, well said! You go, Ma Ma!

P.S. Here are my favs from Super Ma Ma's collection, could you help these lovely bears find a home?

More about the Mat...

I promise to share the story, so here you go!

This mat was handmade by an elderly Malaysian lady using recycled fabric. It's not easy to do as each colour fabric has to be folded neatly to get the uniform look that you see in this picture.

What I can think of for this mat? Three things!

(1) Wouldn't it be nice if we help senior citizens like her enrich the "silver" phase of their lives by helping them stay active and connected to the community? There must be things that they have been doing for years and do really well. In the case of this lady, her needlework is great! So dear friends, tell me if you will be interested to own one of these - adding some colours to your door entrance, study, etc. She will be so thrilled to learn that people appreciate her work!

(2) Another good thing about this mat is that it is made out of RECYCLED fabric, a very "GREEN" move indeed and a great response to the "sustainable development" cause.

(3) Does any of your elderly relatives or friends do great things like this? Let us know, we will help promote and celebrate what he/she does!

Well, what else can you think of?

What I can think of - for a Mat!

Hi, are you curious about my profile picture? Wanna know what that multi-colour image is?

It's actually a door mat made with RECYCLED FABRIC - BY HAND! Have you seen anything quite like this before? It's beautiful, isn't it?

There is a story behind this door mat, I will tell you tomorrow... Now tell me if you wanna own one of these?
