Lakeside Bears & Friends was founded in 2007 by Mary Shelley after she fell in love with thread crochet animals. Making thread crochet animals is the art of using thousands of tiny stitches to create unique miniature bears and other little critters. Most of her work is one-of-a-kind since she does the majority of her work without using a pattern. She quickly became addicted to this art form after joining and becoming an artist with the Thread Artist Guild®.

Mary make her little critters with quality threads and onyx eyes. They are stuffed with wool or polyester and have shot in their feet to help them stand. Most of her bears are three inches and under. She will be offering other hand made items periodically on eBay and will have samples of what she makes on this site. Please view her gallery pages to see her creations. Please note: Mary's miniatures are collectibles and not suitable for children as they contain small parts

If you have any questions about Mary's work please feel free to contact her. To see what she may have for sale on eBay please click here. Mary's eBay ID is lakesidebearsandfriends.
