Pedro the dachshund

hello, just dipping my feet back in the world of blogging! not that I have been anywhere of course, as I have been right here reading along. Once an inspiration junkie, always an inspiration junkie, that's what i reckon.....!

now then if you read Mollie makes, have you made yours?


this is Jane Foster's free gift this month. It was so very easy. I just hand sewed all the way around the edge and stuffed it with cotton wool and hey presto..... I do love dachshunds don't you! and yes I know I was an impatient missy using cotton wool and he will probably go flat and lumpy at some point but we will love him none the less!

and of course i do realize I should be giving you some long and thought out answers from my last post (and that I will do when i've found some suitable thoughtful pictures), but I thought i would talk about Pedro the dachshund instead. So named after our most delightful doggy friend, who was actually called Pedro Epstein II, and who we like to think of as living out his remaining years serenely parading the streets of Belgium wearing his very chic leopard print coat. Such a character! We miss you Pedro!

and as you can see, behind Pedro I am indeed ready to rock and roll. Pretty vintage sheets have been made into hearts, ready for stamping. i do like this bit! I have been scribbling down messages and ideas that i want to use. I am LOVING these hearts, I have a VISION for these hearts!! Exciting stuff. it's not been all sugar plumb fairy here I can tell you...... I NEED these hearts. Anyway enough of that, I'm very happy to be back in this space, catch you again soon,

  1. I made the dog too, in fact despite having every issue of Mollie Makes, it's the only free gift I've made! X

  5. I'm so happy to see you are back Heather - I've been thinking about you, especially these past few days - maybe I had a premonition that you were returning from your little hibernation!
    You've done a lovely job of the little dachshund and your little hearts are sweet and gorgeous!
