The MerPug Doll

Happy Friday everyone!
I am so excited to show you my latest doll from Karen Cruz in Guam!
It is a MerPug and her baby!

Look how fabulous the beading and hand painted colors are!





Karen makes these all by hand from her original patterns.
She has a new blog, Paddywak Pugs, to show us her process and share her life with us!
Please stop by and say hello!
I know she would love to meet and hear from you!


I cannot wait to for her newest collection to be posted in her ebay store so I can get another one!

I think the MerPugs and the Seahorse Pug look so cute together on my sofa!
Joy! Joy! Joy!


What fun things do you have planned this weekend?
Please leave us a comment and let us know! We cannot wait to hear all about it!

WOW! We had to read your bloggie to find out what the heck a MER-PUG is!!! That is some CUTE inter-species handiwork!

We're so sorry that we're behind with your bloggie!!! Mom has been busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest and when she's not busy, she's kvetching about the heat. We're getting caught up NOW!

Glad you had a great trip!

Love,
S-Dog

Hi Melissa & Emmitt! I love the MerPug. How very creative Karen is. Her handiwork is very beautiful.

I don't have much planned for the weekend because it's suppose to be about 2,000 degrees with 200% humidity. That combination means Stubby is house bound with the ac on full blast.

The merpug is so nice. Nice sea theme going there.

We are just sleeping our weekend away in the a/c instead of playing in the heat. The humans are going to an outdoor theater tonight to see "Dream Girls" -going to be a hot one.
