My inspiration

There is no money for the circus, no way to make the fare…

But a mothers’ will and her seamstress skills wouldn’t be stopped there.

 Easily she could see the pieces needed, for the teddy bear she would make,

Scruffy brown covering and the old wool blanket would serve for the children’s sake.

 This is like the bear she made for them all those years ago,

they loved and played with him forgetting the circus they didn't go. 

 He’s been treasured and passed down through the years, will be cherished forever I think,

the name living forever in their memories, 'the bear called Tiddley Wink. 

  'the bear called Tiddley Wink. 

 'the bear called Tiddley Wink. 

 Tiddley Wink. SOLD!
