Spot!

good afternoon!

no
the weather hasn't improved...

but,
just like my gorgeous friend kim commented...

after
a moment of introspection
it's a good idea
to think some good positives

&
get on with it!

so after getting out of the house today
&
enjoying a delicious kebab for lunch
with mr t for company...

 i came home
&
 decided on a little project just for fun
&
made "spot"!


'spot'

was made from cath kidston's book 'sew!'
{he is otherwise known as the stanley toy}


but
i always wanted a dog called 'spot'..hehe!




i think i was meant to attach the ears after the body was sewn up..
but i didn't
so his ears stood up on end!

so
i had to put a few stitches behind his ears
to make them flat...
he's the only one in the family whose had plastic surgery.



here he is again...

just hanging around the kitchen,

like most dogs.


just pop over to 'kootoyoo'
for other crafty fun!

i hope your thursday turns into fun...

  4. I LOVE him!
    He's the most gorgeous colours and the bias gives him a certain personality.

    He looks very happy hanging in front of your red and white china Carol.

    Happy day!

  5. I love Spot and I love this post, SO SO cute :o) What a fun creation Carol, you're so clever. We had two spotty dogs (dalmatians) when I was growing up and I've been in love with spotty dogs ever since.
    Sounds like you certainly made the best of a humdrum day. I had a kebab the other day too, they are so tasty! xo

  19. Spot is just beautiful Carol! His shape reminds me of the shape of one of m favourite softies as a kid, Scottie. Same shape as spot, but with a grey tartan fabric, hence the name Scottie.
    I love Cath Kidson too! I bought that book for my MIL for mothers day. I also have her recipe holder book.
