No I'm not giving away Roseanne. But she was the inspiration for these little stuffies. Just finished to send to two special little girls. Here's what they looked like as I stitched yesterday during my girls' school lessons.

I had such fun making these! I like projects that change as you go along. Pattern tracing, then sewing, then cutting out and stuffing. Then stitching and attaching body parts.... you know, stuff like that. And it's a good thing I liked making these because my girls have two more on order.

I love button joints, especially when they use old buttons fished out of a jar.

These little dachshunds were from a pattern in this book. I LOVE so many projects in this book. It will keep me quite busy this fall and winter I think.

Of course fishing out old buttons can get addicting so if you're like me you dump the whole jar out on the counter and search out your favorites, and then start grouping them into colors. Because you have time for that you know. Only I didn't really have time for that so they are still sitting on the counter.

All done. Only their nakedness bothers me a bit. We'll see what we can do about that in a minute.

Oh yes we mustn't forget my muse. She needs lots of reassurance you know. She watched the whole process.

Oh, you have to see my new Poochie bag! Designed by the fabulous Monica and given away as a free download on her blog. Monica is the best. And I love my new bag. It's little and sweet and I used some of my coveted Fig Tree fabrics in it. I even altered the pocket just a hare so it would show more of my favorite fabric.

Now you know you want to make one of these! And let me tell you, it's a quick and easy project. Monica writes great easy to follow patterns. And her patterns are so cute you'll want to hang it on the wall of your sewing room!

Little aprons that tie in the back. And wool felt collars. That oughta do.

When did this happen? She's growing up too soon. But we couldn't ask for more when it comes to this girl. Happy Birthday sweetheart, I love you. xoxoxo
