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 solely by me 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. All bears 6.5" and under are completely

hand sewn, while bears 7" and up are machine sewn. Every seam is double

stitched for years of hugs! 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 with 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 inseperable! This was the Bear Beginnings!

I now sell my bears on eBay and occasionally from this site.

My eBay auctions are under the seller name "boohbears",

please click on the "On eBay" link to the left to see the latest eBay auction,

or click on the "Available" link to the left to see the bears that are available for

immediate adoption. Please check back often as I usually create one to two

bears per week. If it weren't for you, the collector, these bears would be taking

over our home! You are a true blessing and I thank you for your kind

and continued interest in my creations.

A Little More About Me:

Our family lives in beautiful Arizona

with our 3 kitties. 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

with you, I would like to mention my faith and how

much God has helped 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 for this journey. 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 when you serve and love the Lord ;o)
