Little Booh Bear made of 100+ year old mohair!

This latest little Booh Bear has been a long time coming!  I purchased this mohair from Norbeary Fabrics in 2011 and finally finished "Etta" today!  I had so much fun making her and stuffing her the old fashioned way with excelsior (thanks to my friend, Joanne Livingston, for giving me some of her fine excelsior)!  Etta is on eBay through Friday.  If you have a moment to peek in on her auction, I would be most grateful!  Here is her link on eBay.  Etta's eBay Auction   If you have a moment to leave a comment, I would love to hear what you think of her!  The first picture has been faded, the second picture has been antiqued and the third picture is her actual coloring - she is rusty brownish orange.   Have a blessed week!  Lots of hugs,   Janice

      Thank you so much, Meri! I found the antique mohair from an on-line store in the U.K. called Norbeary Fabrics, she still has some left, too! xxxx
