The Bummlies are MOO~ing! :)

Happy Wednesday everyone!

R-Chee & I have been busy, busy, busy making NEW Bummlies for you to enjoy!

Meet the newest additions to the Bear Bummlie Family...

Meet Tank!

He loves to play tug of war, wrestle and tell you bedtime stories!

Meet Buster

He loves to play frisbee and clown around with you!

Meet Lulu

She loves to go on picnics, play frisbee and play hopscotch with you!

Meet Fifi

She loves to play dress up, powder her nose with powdered sugar and eat french cheeses all day with you!

You may ask...

What are Bummlies?

"The Bummlies" are my new line of Stuffing Free Dog Toys for you to enjoy!

Their motto is... "Bummlies make playtime FUN time!"

"The Bummlies" have traveled all over the world and are reporting back their adventures with all of new families!

They now have their very own Gallery!

Visit Bummlies.com 

to see all of the LOVE, FUN & JOY they are creating and sharing with you!

Each Bummlie sends the message of LOVE both from his front chest and his back "bum"! :)

Handmade of soft fleece, a solid piece of terry cloth stuffing, thread and a lot of LOVE... 

Each Bummlie is unique & the perfect buddy for both dogs and kids!

They are machine washable and if opened by your 4 footed kid, they will not leave stuffing everywhere since they are safely stuffed with a terry cloth towel section that is one solid, safe piece that makes your Bear Bummlie even more huggable!

They are approximately 10" high from tip of ears to toes and 8 " across from paw to paw.

I happily cut, sew, hand embroider and stuff each doll.

You can meet & adopt your special Bummlie in my etsy shop.

...and Guess What Else?!

R-Chee & I heard the strangest noise coming from our mailbox yesterday!

We opened the door and sure enough there was a package in there that was MOOing!

We were so excited because the NEW Bummlie Moo Cards arrived!

You are the first to see them!

They travel with every Bummlie to your home so you can have one too!

Thank you for always playing with us!

We cannot wait to see and share all of the FUN you are having with your Bummlies too!

The Mother Bear Project ~ New Striped Bear & Sightings ~ 2015

Happy Monday everyone!

R-Chee & I have been having so much FUN making more teddy bears to donate to The Mother Bear Project!

I have been making bears for them for over 6 years and everyone of them is a joy to make!

No two ever come out the same.

Each one has his or her own personality! :)

I love seeing who pops to life every time I make one! 

They bring love and smiles to children in Africa and I cannot wait to share this new batch with them!

R-Chee & I LOVE The Mother Bear Project!

You can help the children too even if you do not knit or crochet.

Please visit their website to learn more!

We just finished the first of many bears we have planned for 2015.

He is bright and happy and full of sunshine for you!

He and R-Chee are holding a team meeting this morning to plan for his travels across the sea to meet his new forever child!

Let's tune in to see what they are talking about!

Hi Archie!

My name is Sonny and I am so excited to live in Africa with my new forever family!

Africa is a magical place and I have a lot to learn!

My new little boy or girl will love me and teach me lots of things!

I plan on learning everything I need to know by opening my ears to hear all the sounds around me!

Breathing in deeply with my nose to smell the air surrounding me!

...and use my mouth to laugh, smile & taste all the wonderful flavors served to me!

It will be a wonderful adventure and I will report back and share my adventures with all of you like the other bears before me!

Let's meet a few of those special bears we made in 2014 now!

They all went to Botswana to meet their forever children!

Here is my 1st cousin, Arty, who is also very stylish & is wearing a striped shirt like me!

You can meet him here in the post you wrote about him last year!

...and we love our 3 groovy retro cousins who found beautiful little boys and girls to play with too!

...and who could forget Super Bear?

He landed in Botswana and made this little boy feel invincible by the power of LOVE! :)

You sent him and all the other children all your LOVE with each bear you helped inspire your mom to make!

You are a very special pug, R-Chee with a very special and loving heart and I promise to report back from Africa and share my adventures with you one day soon!

Right now, your mom is making a brother for me to travel with and I will introduce you to him in the days to come so you can see us both off together!

Happy Friday everyone!

It is me...

R-Chee

and my Pug Bummlie Earl!

Today I am showing him how to stretch!

It feels really good and is good for you too!

What a great way to start each day!

Let's get started!

It is super easy!

"Okey Dokey Earl, all you have to do is reach out your arms out wide just like you do when you give someone a BIG HUG!" 

See!  That feels really good doesn't it? :)

Now you try it!

Here is Pug Bummlie ~ Earl stretching with Tweedles in OR

and Oscar in NC

and Tiffy in CA!

Oh Boy Earl!

You are a fast learner and really good at stretching!

Great Job!

If you would like your very own Pug Bummlie Earl to stretch with everyday...

Please visit our Etsy Shop where you can adopt a Bummlie of your very own!

I will personally hug him or her and wrap him up for you and send him or her to you by Priority Mail!

Meet The New Spring Bummlies!

Happy Monday everyone!

Archie & I are having so much FUN making NEW Bummlies for you to meet & enjoy!

Each Bummlie is one of a kind!

He or she comes to you with his or her very own name, personality & smile to share with you & your family on your exciting adventures together!

Meet my newest Bummlies to join the family...

Guapo

Figaro

Skippy

and Hammish!

The Bummlies are so unique that once they are gone... they are gone.

New faces, new names, new colors & prints will be born as each one is quickly adopted and starting his or her new life with you!

So to avoid any disappointment...

R-Chee's advice is to purchase a Bummlie when one grabs your heart !

He will personally dance with your Bummlie, package him or her up and send them on their way to you!

Maple & Stella the Bear and Pug Bummlies have happily arrived in OR to live with Tweedles!

She has welcomed  them with open arms and plays with them indoors and out!

Here they are helping her and her mom, Georgie in the garden!

and on the slide!

"Come on down Stella it is time to raid our lunch pail!"

Yummy!

"Today our lunch pail is filled with peanut butter and banana sammichs!"

As you can see...

The Bummlies are having so much FUN with all of you that they just cannot contain their glee!

They are bursting at the seams with excitement, so R-Chee & I have built a special gallery where they can Show & Tell all of their stories with you!

It is called The Bummlie Gallery and it's new home is

Bummlies.com!

You may ask...

What are The Bummlies?

The Bummlies are my new line of Stuffing Free Dog Toys for you to enjoy!

The Bummlie Gallery is a storyboard of FUN from Bummlies who have been adopted by families all over the world!

They are reporting back with adventures filled withLOVE

You can adopt your special Bummlie today in our 

Etsy shop...

Each Bummlie sends the message of LOVE both from his front chest and his back "bum"! :)

Handmade of soft fleece, a solid piece of terry cloth stuffing, thread and a lot of LOVE... 

Each Bummlie is unique & the perfect buddy for both dogs and kids!
