Miles' memory bear was carefully handmade from a selection of his outgrown babygrows and teeny tiny vests. There are some fab prints on the clothing, and cute logos which really did add some character to this keepsake memory bear. Happy Sunday everyone :)

Undertaking my job as a keepsake artist, I am too often reminded of the fragility of life and am genuinely touched at the trust that is imparted in me as my customers hand over their loved ones clothing to be recrafted into memory keepsakes.
This absolutely beautiful memory quilt made out of little Evan's clothing took me a few weeks to make as I wanted to ensure it was just right for his family so liaised closely to ensure I used all the important parts of the clothing, al...ong with ensuring the design was right balancing colours and patterns.
The back is made out of favourite bedding and whilst not visible on the photo, the memory quilt has start quilting within some of the 8" squares to complement the star bedding. The finished quilt is just big enough to pop onto a single bed and will be a cherished by Evan's family. . . . #memoryquilt #memorykeepsake #handmadekeepsake #madeinwales #madefromclothes #inmemory #family #love

Wrapping up this gorgeous keepsake memory quilt, and 4 keepsake memory cushions 💕 Knowing the story behind some of my keepsakes makes me hug my two children all that bit tighter. Precious memories of a little one xx

Today's sneaky peek is just soooooo adorable 😍 One question I'm frequently asked is how long does it take to make one bear .... the answer varies from 1-2 days but I always add it's deciding where each item of clothing will be placed that takes the most time as I have to get it just right 🙈 I love the placement of this little pair of characters as they fit perfectly... "Happy Days" everyone x . . . #memorybears #memorybear #memorykeepsake #bespokebear #handmadekeepsake #baby #babyclothes #babygift #madefromclothes

"Hello" everyone 🙋‍♀️ ... it's been a while since I posted I know but I've been focusing on a very detailed memory quilt, a poorly dog and GCSE exams . Normality has almost resumed (bar the dog) and I'm looking forward to sharing my creations. In the meantime, loving this sneaky peek 💙🐻 x

This little memory bear was made out of a selection of Bob's favourite clothes. Bob was also known for wearing a white t-shirt underneath his shirts so it was important this little memory bear did too. Shirts, t-shirt, jeans and socks were recrafted to make this beautiful little memory bear x

I'm undertaking a little market research around #meetthecustomermay and would be really grateful if you could take a moment to leave a few comments about how and why you have brought from, or follow, Cwtch and Cherish Keepsakes. Maybe it was word of mouth from another customer, maybe social media, or maybe an advert in a magazine ...
