Measuring about 16" long from nose to tail, 10" high, these little weiner doggies are just the cutest...with their button noses and eyes and faux-suede ears and tails, doggies also have a weighted pouch of plastic stuffing beads to give it a bit of extra weight....
You can adopt one of the above or have one made by special request....Price: $35.00 (local delivery) or shipping charges extra.

Hi Everyone,
I thought I would make a fun decorative pillow - I've had this one in my head for quite a while now and needed to bring it out....it was one of the most fun projects I've done...just simple hand applique on a heavier linen/cotton base....it was a blast.......
A great way to just let your creativity out and use up some of those smaller pieces that you have in your stash.....and of course, where there are yo-yo's, there has to be lot so fun....
Hugs,
Bill

"TEDDY TIME" Pocket Pillow




Just finished this fun project...a great gift for that little one - their very own


"TEDDY TIME" Pocket Pillow.....


Just tuck in a favourite book, and a little teddy - and off they go - to grandma and grandpa's, on a road trip..to the doctor...they will never be without their own little comfort things......


at 18" x 18" it is a great size......for carrying around - for sleeping..for cuddling.....especially if it's stuff with a down pillow form....


The back is made with overlapping panels - no zip to hurt those little fingers.....and so easy to remove the pillow form for cleaning.


"TEDDY TIME" Pocket Pillow patterns will be ready for mailing on Oct. 12th.....order your copy now by using the BUY-NOW button on the main page of my blog...


and remember - NO POSTAGE!!!!!


Wishing you all a wonderful creative time.... :-)
