Meet The New Spring Bummlies!

Happy Monday everyone!

Archie & I are having so much FUN making NEW Bummlies for you to meet & enjoy!

Each Bummlie is one of a kind!

He or she comes to you with his or her very own name, personality & smile to share with you & your family on your exciting adventures together!

Meet my newest Bummlies to join the family...

Guapo

Figaro

Skippy

and Hammish!

The Bummlies are so unique that once they are gone... they are gone.

New faces, new names, new colors & prints will be born as each one is quickly adopted and starting his or her new life with you!

So to avoid any disappointment...

R-Chee's advice is to purchase a Bummlie when one grabs your heart !

He will personally dance with your Bummlie, package him or her up and send them on their way to you!

Maple & Stella the Bear and Pug Bummlies have happily arrived in OR to live with Tweedles!

She has welcomed  them with open arms and plays with them indoors and out!

Here they are helping her and her mom, Georgie in the garden!

and on the slide!

"Come on down Stella it is time to raid our lunch pail!"

Yummy!

"Today our lunch pail is filled with peanut butter and banana sammichs!"

As you can see...

The Bummlies are having so much FUN with all of you that they just cannot contain their glee!

They are bursting at the seams with excitement, so R-Chee & I have built a special gallery where they can Show & Tell all of their stories with you!

It is called The Bummlie Gallery and it's new home is

Bummlies.com!

You may ask...

What are The Bummlies?

The Bummlies are my new line of Stuffing Free Dog Toys for you to enjoy!

The Bummlie Gallery is a storyboard of FUN from Bummlies who have been adopted by families all over the world!

They are reporting back with adventures filled withLOVE

You can adopt your special Bummlie today in our 

Etsy shop... 

pugnotes.etsy.com

Each Bummlie sends the message of LOVE both from his front chest and his back "bum"! :)

Handmade of soft fleece, a solid piece of terry cloth stuffing, thread and a lot of LOVE... 

Each Bummlie is unique & the perfect buddy for both dogs and kids!

They are machine washable and if opened by your 4 footed kid, they will not leave stuffing everywhere since they are safely stuffed with a terry cloth towel section that is one solid, safe piece that makes your Bear Bummlie even more huggable!

They are approximately 10" high from tip of ears to toes and 8 " across from paw to paw.

I happily cut, sew, hand embroider and stuff each doll for you to enjoy.

Please check out the new gallery and Pug Notes etsy shop often as they are both bursting at the seams with new Bummlies and photos everyday!

Thank you for always playing with us!

Friday Funnies ~ Archie is a Doll Baby!

Happy Friday everyone!

It is me... 

R-Chee!

I have a new soft friend to introduce you to today!

Can you tell which one is me and which one is my new friend?

I'll give you a hint...

He is dressed much more colorful outfit than me today! :)

The best part is...

You can make one too with this Free Pattern.

Mom adapted it from this easy bunny doll pattern she found on The Sewing Loft Blog.

All she did to change it was to leave off the bunny ears and cut puggy shapes out of scrap leather pieces and glue them on the front!

Here are some photos of our doll in process for you to enjoy...

This wonderful pattern is so fast and FUN to make all sorts of dolls with!

Auntie Melanie made the bunny from felted cashmere sweater scraps she had in her fabric stash!

It is the perfect way to use up small amounts of  your favorite fabrics!

You can easily make a whole zoo of characters just by changing the ears and faces!

Ta Da!

Please let me know if you make one too!

I would love to see!

xoxoxo

Have a super weekend everyone!

New FUN Fiber Art ~ Parakeet & Pug Dolls

Happy Wednesday everyone!

R-Chee, Jimme & I have been having so much FUN sewing this week! 

My inspiration for these dolls started with a wonderful Woodland animals pattern group that my wonderful twin sister, Melanie found for us to all play with!

Melly found us each a set on etsy for less than the stores so definitely shop around before buying.

You can also find them at any sewing shop that sells Simplicity patterns like Joann's  Fabrics too!

She made the fox while I made the raccoon, but instead of mine looking like a raccoon, I made mine into Jimmie and R-Chee parakeet and pug dolls for my personal collection! :)

Isn't he fabulous?

After Melly finished hers, I was sooo inspired that I just could not wait to get started on mine!

it was FUN picking out fabrics for my parakeet and pug dolls from my stash!

I got all of these fat quarters of different fabrics over the years just because I liked them with no specific project in mind and they have been piling up in my craft drawer!

I think they worked perfectly for the dolls without even having to spend another penny! :)

To make the pug, I used the raccoon pattern but did not use their applique face or ears.

I just cut out shapes from craft felt and felted wool to make mine.

I chose to sew on the ears and then glue down the face with Unique Stitch fabric glue.

I did the same thing for my Jimmie doll but instead of using the raccoon arms, I used the owl wings for arms and left off the ears. :)

All of the pieces are separate so you can make the back a bit different than the front if you like which is what I did for the back of Jimmie's head since his face is yellow but the back of his head is lighter in real life.

The doll pattern does not have a tail but I decided to add a pug tail to my Archie doll!

Ta Da!

That was so much FUN!

What FUN things are you up to this week?

Please drop a note and tell us all about it!

Are you out playing in the sunshine now that the weather is getting warmer or in the kitchen baking something yummy?

We cannot wait to hear all of the details about your favorite things to do that make you happy.
