Special Valentines Gifts

Bentley has some special Valentines he would like to share with you

the first is a dog bone he won over at

Sew Doggy Style 

in a contest.

 he had to wear heart shaped sunglasses...lol..

he wasn't liking it so much....

 but he sure does love his prize

look at him hamming it up now

he dug right into it..

 and made it SQUEEK!!!

look at this picture enlarged and see

his so cute little smile.

he is so adorable

he says thanks to

Sew Doggy Style

for letting him join the fun

Then of course his mom

 (meaning me)

had to get him a Valentine too

he needed a new blankie

so I did a simple patch work one

made from fleece with appliqued

paw prints across the back..

here it is when he first seen it

he loved it.

AWE!

Now he decided to pose...

and another fabulous pose

I want to talk for him

on this one...lol..

and then he gave me this one..

My Precious Bentley Boy

Then he says thats a wrap mom...

and gives me a wink

I am trying hard to teach him to wink

so he can wink at the ladies

like my little pommie

Lucky used to do.

he will learn

Hope you think of your pets on the holidays

at my house they are my family

Preciouse Boys

Both of them

Coasters...

I seen these in blogland some where and the idea stuck in my head.

If you know where please let me know so I can give proper credit...

Well I remembered them well becasue they turned out great.

I Love Them

the tea cup above is from my recent tea cup swap.

Scarf Weather

Well talk of this cold weather..

made me remember a crochet scarf pattern I recieved for Christmas...

so I decided to make it for my friend Sandy for her Birthday
I hope she likes it.
She has worn other scarfs and its cold here now
 so this is a needed item, right...lol

and I think it turned out cute.

what do you think?

it folds back thru itself

and the flower is a pin so she can wear any

pin or brooch she likes with it

maybe I will make a few kinds of pins

to go along with this.

I don't get to crochet much

but once in awhile I like to do it

Hope she likes it.

Stay Warm
