"Tammy Hendricks freely admits her favorite breed of dog is the Miniature Schnauzer. “They just fit my personality,” she says. The breed is alert, spirited, friendly, and intelligent, which fits Tammy, who is energetic, creative, gracious, and when she puts her mind to something, resolute. Tammy creates handmade teddy bears and one-of-a-kind soft sculpture dogs."
"Two decades ago after her mother sadly passed away from breast cancer at the young age of 55. Tammy, one of six girls, was close with her mother. Tammy decided to try her own hand at bear making using her mother’s old fur coat that still hung in the closet. “I had never really sewn anything and didn’t even own a sewing machine,” recalls Tammy."
"It was very difficult and most often frustrating,” says Tammy. “I must say I wanted to give up more than once, but mom always told me I could do anything I wanted to if I believed I could, and to not let anybody—that includes myself—think I couldn’t.” Tammy was faced with another hurdle: she was born with only one hand, which makes these tasks even more challenging for her. Thanks to her mother’s teachings, Tammy knows that she can do anything she puts her mind and heart to!"
