About My One~of~a~Kind Mohair Bears:
Each and every Booh Bear or Booh's Friend is one-of-a-kind.
They are all created by hand and heart from start to finish.
Much imagination, work and love go into each and every creation.
I maintain the highest quality standards on all of my creations.
Most of my miniature bears are hand sewn while their bigger
"siblings" are mostly machine sewn. I use all premium quality
German mohair, thread, eyes, Merino wool felt paw pads, and superior
jointing mechanisms. The airbrush dye I use is formulated to use with
silk fabrics, so it is very gentle on mohair.
The "Bear Beginnings":
My creative endeavors began in 1992 designing and
sewing children’s clothing. The children’s clothing became
very popular and soon I was selling in many children’s shops
in Arizona. I enjoyed the creativity, but with my sister Patty’s
prompting, I decided to branch out into fabric art dolls and
animals. I made giraffes, zebras, cats and even pigs from fabric!
I enjoyed making the dolls and critters so much that soon I had
four booths going on at once in crafter’s malls throughout
Arizona. That lasted a few years until the real creative addiction
began in January, 1998, when my husband signed me up for a
Bear Making class. After sewing my very first mohair bear, mohair
and I became inseparable! This was the Bear Beginnings!

A Little Bit More About Me:
Our family lives in beautiful Arizona
with our 3 kitties and various other "pets"!
I am a bit shy and it is difficult for me to talk to
strangers in person, but with the internet, you can’t
shut me up! In sharing a bit about myself,
I would like to mention my faith and how
God has carried me through some difficult
times. In 2006, I battled breast cancer and
I live with Multiple Sclerosis. I am grateful that
God is with me on this journey. For those
of you who are in need of prayer, please don't hesitate
to e-mail me. I keep a prayer journal right next to
my computer with the names and needs of my
internet friends ~ prayer changes things!
My prayer for those who read this is that you realize
that no matter how big a problem seems, nothing is too
difficult to get through if you allow the Lord to guide your path ;o)
