Marjorie, a TT is an adorable teddy that is great for the children to hug and love. Here's a photo of one of Mary's Mom's teddies in action !
This is the website: http://www.teddiesfortragedies.org/ The pattern is also listed on the left side. Teddies are always welcome in South Africa !

just sorry Marjorie official they are Teddies For Tragedy but in our family we call them the Tragic Teddies of course they all have lovely smiley faces and are anything but. My mom will only post them in pairs incase they get lonely on the long voyage to SA.
