I WANT one! (stamps feet...)

 Do you ever get that thing where you want something, just because. For no real reason other than just because you want it? My 2 yr old gets that feeling all the time - as well as my 7 & 9 yr olds! - and yes that's where the foot stamping comes from!

Well my "I WANT" item is a dress Mannequin. I don't make clothes, I have no space to put one and I don't need one, but I have always wanted one. And not just any Plain Jane Mannequin, I want a nice one (or one that I can make nice and pretty)

So as you can see from the below photo. I GOT one! Yay! And this is a special one. Its only little (much more practical) and even better it cost me $5... yes $5!!!!! BARGAIN!

Do you have a "I want" item? What is it?

 

 





Spoilt doggies!

Yes I have two very spoilt doggies!! I've been busy making them toys.  Well..... truth actually is our new pup is a bit of a destroyer - she chews everything...... shoes, toys, furniture, bras, even the walls! So even though both dogs have toys, I thought they may need more things to keep them occupied!

These 'bone' shaped toys they LOVE! I just made them from recycled fabric, and filled with the scrap fabric. That way they have a bit of weight to them - perfect for tossing in the air!

I've also made a couple of dog coats for these cooler morning walks. They look so proud wearing them! They actually aren't quite finished yet. I've got to add a strap on the underneath to hold them on.

But as I say, spoilt doggies.... they probably have nearly as many toys as my kids!
