Thankyou for your interest in learning a little about me.

My name is Hayley Justice and I live on beautiful Phillip Island in south eastern Victoria, Australia.

Craft and sewing have only been a part of my life since my first child came along and I was encouraged to have a go at making baby clothes. I surprised myself with my creativity as I'd always thought sewing wasn't my thing...I flunked sewing at school! Over the next few years I learned Embroidery and Patchwork and made clothes for all three of my children. I also made and sold kids outfits through a local kidswear shop.

I made my first bear in 1999, when the Patchwork group I was attending decided to have a Teddy Bear Making workshop . From that very first bear, I was hooked, and during the next few years I lost count of the number of bears I made. The Patchwork went out the window....you can only have so many quilts...but you can never have enough bears!!

After a year or two I ventured into creating my own designs and the world of Artist Bears. Creating bears gives me such a sense of satisfaction and I love the challenge of adding soul to my creations. Some are dressed, others in the 'buff', but each bear has a distinct personality!

I take great care to ensure my workmanship is of the highest quality so collectors can be assured of a bear that will give many years of enjoyment.
It gives me great pleasure to be able to share the fun creating teddy bears brings to my life.
My website has been very patiently created by my hubby Chris and I am so pleased with the result. I hope you enjoy your visit and I would love you to sign my guestbook before you go. If you would like to know more about any of my bears or just to have a chat, please feel free to email me.
