I came across a list of crafts considered endangered in the UK. It’s fascinating, with details of crafts I’ve never heard of.

I was interested to note that I have the skills to attempt some of the endangered and critically endangered crafts (however they are looking for people working at a professional or semi-professional level and I’m not in the UK).

Still busy working on the secret memory teddy bears commission which I can't show pictures of until after Xmas. So here's one I made earlier - out of my favourite French Connection jacket which cost 35p in a Jumble Sale in 2004 & fell apart last year. Hugs to @Janeygodley Love the pics of Christmas Honey. #teddybears #MemoryBears #recycle #heritagecrafts #textilecrafts #handmade #welshmaker

Today I'm making a commissioned memory teddy bear & using the same pattern I designed in 2015 for the Cambrian Mountain Wool Design Challenge. I was told off then for not giving the entry teddy bear to the (then) Prince Charles after he admired it at the presentation. Now that's a memory. #MemoryBears #heritagecrafts #handcrafted #madebyhand #madeinwales #teddybears
