Delartful BearsGee girls, you have too much mohair, like Shari - you can send me some!
My hugggggge storage box is chockers full with mohair... However, my mum and sister were trying to talk me into getting another box.. but I was strong LOL Thing is, I would want to fill that box right up if I were to get it LOL
I have heaps, but gee, not as much as it sounds like some of you have!! Give me a year or two though, I might be able to match or beat the best of you LOL

I could work non stop from now until I die and I am not sure I would use it all up.
My excuse, ever so clever I believe, is that I live so far away from Anything that I need to have Everything on hand.
Hey, it works for me.
I can't go bobbing into a Micheals, or JoAnns, or Walmart or Intercal :lol:
So if you have the supplies on hand to make the bears and gollies then you have to have the stuff on hand to dress and accessorize....right?
And Ribbons and laces are all part and parcel
plus when ever I am offered an inch by the darling Hubs I run the whole 9 yards.....
Plus, there just about isn't anything you can't find in the internet if you look hard enough- and
what was the point in memorizing my Visa number if I can't rattle it off frequently so I don't forget?
Right?
How much in my stash?
Probably too much.but what if we get snowed in?
What if there is an embargo on all mohair coming from Europe?
(Yikes- now don't have nightmares girls-just and example?)
What if I get a commission and need to get started right away?
Well, what if indeed!
I don't know about you guys, but I feel more secure with certain things tucked away
The entire studio

:hug:
:P
P.S. if it's on sale you are morally bound to buy.....aren't you?
Posts: 8,574World Supply shortage indeed
I have enough rovings to keep Neysa, Kim and Kim and Judi and me busy 8 hours a day for probably 3 months.
Is that too much?
Posts: 8,574And then I discovered vintage Rayon, what a month ago?
Posts: 8,574Thank you by the way- ladies on the mini forum
and then my new best friend Sassys Fabrics.....
Which necessitated buying more eyes from Intercal
oh my goodness!
Its just like when we were kids and we told a lie....
and then another
and another
and another
its just the same-one thing leads to another........
You know how when somebody starts talking about food and you get hungry?
my fingers want to go shopping
must be good
can't blame it on the gollies any more
I have a bunch of lovely fur coats I need to sell - CHEAP - before baby comes. I am not going to ever get to them in the next 5 months and I can't store them with the baby on the way. I might have to offer them to you gals cheap before I try them on eBay!
BEAR ME SHOOTKADilu, I love you!!! 
:rose:
So true...
Julia
Kiprie BearsWhat if there is an embargo on all mohair coming from Europe?

Dilu, did you use the
vintage rayon ?? sounds so

I do not feel so bad now as I thought I had way too much in my Bear supplies department.
Denise you are going to be very busy - thanks for sharing your photos.
I think that we must all have something in common though - the hoarding bug.
Hugs

Posts: 8,574Carolyn,
It is not possible to have too much-
it is possible to be content with enough
I don't think I have reached total contentment yet :lol:
Ruby Mountain BearsI think the question should be rephrased. How much is too much??? I have a stash in the garage (four large containers), one under the bed, one in the sewing cabinet in the dining room.
In our other house I had a room, before we moved my husband went in the room and told me Half of it goes! AAAAHHH! :mad:
I did it though now I think he regrets it because as soon as we got moved I just went and bought more!!!
Love, kathy
Jazzy RagsWow Denise you are a sick puppy :lol:Just kidding i am so jealous Fran
Fran...I know I'm trying to give up...I told you I had a heap, but it sounds like there's more contenders for first prize...Kathy, Anne, Sue Anne, Daphne!!! whoa!!!! and I thought I was out of control 
:hug:
Denise.
Baird'sBears
I'm shocked and appalled, girls! It's all too clear that I'm seriously mohair-deprived!! :cry:
Mind you I'm just a beginner, so I've only got two garment racks full of fur coats/jackets/collars in the cold room (my kids call it "The Way to Narnia"), a 6-foot sideboard drawer full of mohair, two 3-foot drawers full of synthetics. I've only got a small drawer of eyes, another of nose/mouth threads, another of disks, and a middle sized drawer for wire, weighting supplies and safety joints. Everything is jammed in so hard that I can barely open the drawers, but it still doesn't hold a candle to a real bearmaker's stash.
If anyone would like to advise my husband that I need more, just drop him an email at John.Baird@utoronto.ca. :)
Eileen
Nova Scotia,CanadaWahhhhhhh,my stash is seriously deprived 
But then so is my bank account and Christmas is coming so no more mohair until I finish shopping .Wonder if my family would be excited if they all got mohair and glass eyes for Christmas......I suppose I could use it if the didn't want it :twisted:
Hey Shari, I think that is a great idea. You could do all your shopping in one place- online. I'm sure your family would gladly share their new present with you. :lol:
Good thinking girl
Rufnut Teddy'sHehehehe, you girls are funny.
Denise that is some collection you have there.
:clap:
Kim-Bee Bearsextra mohair can be sent my way.. my address is .... LOL... but seriously
Kim-Bee BearsDily - you make me smile!
Posts: 8,574Eileen, if I thought you were remotey serious i would send your hubby an e-mail
or you could print up this post and then say
"But everybody else gets to buy more....."
Do you have kids at home? Don't do it in front of them-then they will forever be in competition..... :D
Shari you do need to go shopping
Dilu
MerBear OriginalsAs stated before, I presently have enough mohair to make me feel comfortable but my friend is coming back next week from Germany for a visit and she went by the schulte mohair distributor for me so I'm getting more!!!!!
You really can't have too much! :dance:
Marion
Flying Fur StudiosI wished we all lived on the same block. That way we could play with all that mohair, and swaps, including scraps would be very easy!!!
Heather
Baird'sBears
Food for thought, Dilu. Thanks! :rose:
The problem is, I've spent the last 28 years lecturing my kids with the usual, "You don't need that just because everybody else has it. If everybody else jumped off a cliff, would you follow?" :doh: Obviously, I should have thought ahead.
On the other hand, John is your typical frugal Scot. I might be okay if I can show him how much I'm going to save on sale mohair. And given all the time I spend on bears, I could show him how much I've saved on cleaning supplies, electricity for the iron and vaccuum cleaner, laundry detergent, etc.
He's suggested that I make a Samuel Johnson Bear. I think (or I've decided that I think) this means he wants one for Christmas. This means some serious shopping, right?
