And why does absolutely EVERYTHING itch???!

I'm a teddy bear artist, so my influences are a little different from people who draw and make comics and such, but here's a little picture to show what influenced and inspires my bears.

A drawing of a very simple, minimalistic teddy bear's head, with Miffy the bunny and Hello Kitty below it. They are all similar in style.

Here's a look at what I have coming up for the Teddy Total fair in Münster, Germany at the end of this month! My theme for this year is travel, and in addition to to regular Bear Bears there'll be Bear Bear keyrings/bag charms, and if I have the time, I'll be making Bear Bear bags too!

A group of simple teddy bears in shades of blue and brown, dressed in scarves and T-shirt and a dress, sitting in a navy blue suitcase with a green interior. The suitcase is on top of a dark brown table.

In Finland Easter Saturday is also called "Lankalauantai", Yarn Saturday. Traditionally Lankalauantai was when the yarn spun during winter was washed & dyed. I like to keep this tradition by sewing something, like a bellybutton onto this little Bear Bear. Happy Yarn Saturday and Easter everyone!

(3/3) I’ll be debuting what I've been jokingly calling my "Labearbears” bag charms at the Teddybär Total fair in Münster next month.

Bear Bear @teddybearbears.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

(2/3) I’ve redone my small Bear Bear pattern a few times since I first started making small bears. First I added jointed arms, and now I’ve shrank the pattern a tiny little bit to make little bag charms, so it’s even easier for people to take a Bear Bear with them on their travels and adventures!

Yesterday’s #marchmeetthemaker prompt, which I seem to be getting to a day late every time, was ”Revisit”. I think this is maybe more a reinterpretation than a revisit? (Thread 1/3)

Two little teddy bears, one white with a patterned kerchief and the other brown with a red ribbon and a bag charm clasp, next to a simple paper teddy bear pattern all on top of a green cutting mat. Both teddies have little buttons for bellybuttons.

(2/3) Really though, each Bear Bear is made by me with my own little hands with lots of care and even more love. There is a wee bit of bear making magic in the process too; it's always so amazing to take something that's been just an idea in your head and make it a real tangible thing.

(5/5) I am getting better at managing my time and energy, even if it is slow going and hard work. I'm doing my best, and even if sometimes my best is just the bare minimum, I think it's enough that I try.

(4/5) On top of work work and Bear Bears work I'd like to live my life outside of all of that. I have hobbies I'd like to do and friends I'd like to see, but I finding time and energy for everything sometimes feels impossible. Juggling everything is a job in itself!

Bear Bear @teddybearbears.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

(3/5) Unluckily my workroom is the backroom of the shop, so half of it is filled with shop stuff, that sometimes encroaches onto the workroom side. It can get very chaotic and crowded, and sorting it all out and keeping it all under control is not a quick or easy task.

Bear Bear @teddybearbears.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

(2/5) Luckily my workroom is the backroom of the shop I run, so I can pop in there to work on Bear Bears whenever it's quiet in the shop, or bring whatever I'm working on to the counter and work on it there.

Bear Bear @teddybearbears.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Today's prompt for #marchmeetthemaker is "Challenges and wins". My biggest challenge is trying to find not only a work-life balance, but a balance between work and bear making as well. (1/5, thread)

A little mint green teddy bear on a dark brown wooden shop counter, with a cup of tea, a spool of thread and a pair of scissors, and some scraps of paper on it too. There's a table with some teddybears and a lacy tablecloth visible in the background.

The 18th #marchmeetthemaker prompt was ”Design detail”, so here's something you don’t really see when you look at a Bear Bear, but that you feel when you hold one; their stuffing! Poli Plastic's recycled pellets are spendy (thanks Brexit!), but they're my favourite stuffing material to splurge on.

Hands adding grey plastic pellet stuffing into a brown teddy bear with a spoon, next to a plastic bag with a lable reading "Poli Plastic Pellets" on it, all on top of a green cutting mat.

Yesterday’s #marchmeetthemaker prompt was ”Who is it for” Simply put, I make Bear Bears first and foremost for myself. They’re exactly what I like in a teddy bear, very much in my own aesthetic. I love my simple little teddy bears, and I hope that others will love them too. ❤️

Yesterday's prompt for #marchmeetthemaker was "Currently working on". I'm currently working on a collection of travel themed bears for the Teddy Bear Total fair next month. I'm having great fun making a little travel wardrobe for them, and I've got some ideas for travel themed accessories as well!

Today's prompt for #marchmeetthemaker is "Why you make". Simply put, I make things because I don't know what I'd do with myself if I didn't! I fear my head would explode from the pressure of all the ideas teeming in there if I didn't make them real!

Monday's #marchmeetthemaker prompt, that I only got around to today, was "What you make". I make little bear friends for you to befriend! They're full of plastic granules & lots of love, and they're perfect for hugging and holding when you need something soft and calming in this hard, hectic world.

Today's #marchmeetthemaker prompt is "Trial & error". For me making things is constant undoing and redoing, and learning new skills and ways of doing things. I'm very familiar with my seam ripper, and always prepare to use up more time and materials than expected just in case.

Today's #marchmeetthemaker prompt is "Behind the scenes", so here's a little peek behind the scenes of not only a bit of my teddy bear making, but also of one of the teddy bears I'm making for my this year's Teddy Bear Total festival collection.

A picture of hands holding a needle to sew up a light blue teddy bear's arm. The bear is laying on blue and white fabric with a map print, on top of a beige sewing machine and green cutting mat. There's a spool of thread and scissors on the machine too.

I'm doing #marchmeetthemaker again, and the first prompt (that I'm a little late with) was "About you/brand". So, hi hello, I'm Eerika, the lady behind the Bear Bears! By day I split my time between running a teddy bear shop here in Helsinki and Bear Bear making, by night I'm asleep.
