Friday Fun! Gilbert's new Crochet Bird Toy!


Happy Friday everyone!

I had so much fun making my parrotlet, Gilbert a new bird toy this week!

To make this colorful, soft toy, I crocheted & lightly stuffed some bobbles and then tied on some beads and a bell.


It was so fun that I made one for Melanie's parrotlet, Dunkin too!


Please come a little closer, Gilbert wants to give you a kiss!

What fun projects are you working on?

Please leave us a comment and tell us all about them.

We cannot wait to hear!

Have a super weekend everyone!

Hello Gilbert, what a lovely boy you are!
I think he will really enjoy his new toy, it's so inventive.
After about 20 years of not knitting anything I am knitting myself a little gilet. The first attempt had to be pulled out - grrrrr, but this one is at the sewing up stage.

Ooohhh what a fun new toy for Gilbert!!! Is it ok to call him "pretty"? ;-)

Mom is working on my Halloween costume this weekend. She'll probably be using a lot of swear words while doing it.

Love,

What a nice toy - very colorful, just like him!

We've been busy making Puggy Pina Colada Cookies for the Pug Bakery booth at KPR's Pugtoberfest tomorrow.

We are busy this weekend closing up our camp and getting ready for Pugstock next weekend!!!

I am PERSONALLY working on my Halloween costume. It is a little hard for me to use the hot glue gun so I need to ask my humans.

That Gilbert is soooo adorables, and I know he loves his new toy. Does he ring the bells, and sing you songs? He is the luckiest bird in the wide worlds.
We have a birdie,,, too.
Her name is Harriet. She lives in our bathroom upstairs, and loves it..
Harriet looks like Gilbert... except she is not real (but i don't tell anyone)
