The Bummlies are Ready for Some Football!


Happy Friday everyone!

Are you ready for some football?

The Bummlies sure are!

They have dusted off their helmets, shoulder pads and cleats and are headed right to your yummy tailgating parties!

Did you know that helmets make great chip & dip bowls... and that shoulder pads can hold alot of hotdogs and hamburgers from the grill & that cleats double as perfect punch bowls?

Well, The Bummlies are here to tell you that ... they do! :)


Meet Jethrow

"The Wide Receiver"




and... Arnie

"The Quarterback in training"





...and Pauly

"The #1 Football Fan"



...and Higgins

"The Ref"


They cannot wait to curl up with you & root for your favorite team to get the W this season! :)

Each Bummlie is handmade with LOVE and one-of-a-kind!

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


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 story board of FUN from Bummlies who have been adopted by families all over the world!
They are reporting back with adventures filled with LOVE, FUN, EXCITEMENT & JOY!

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!

Tunisian Crochet ~ New Owl Doll


Happy Tuesday everyone!

R-Chee & I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!

Labor Day traditionally marks the end of the hot Summer to welcome in the fresh cooler breezes of Fall.

I thought it would be FUN to celebrate this special time of year by crocheting a new owl doll this weekend.

I made him without a pattern and combined the techniques of tunisian crochet, freeform crochet and traditional crochet stitches to make this fun fellow.




The first step was to create the body shape by making what looked like a long rectangle or short scarf with the tunisian crochet stitch to form the body and head.

When my long rectangle was done, I folded it in half and sewed up the sides with matching yarn and my yarn needle.

Then I stuffed him and partially closed up the bottom to form the beginnings of leg openings.




The final steps were done by pulling out my traditional crochet hook and using freeform crochet techniques to make the eyes, wings, sash, beak, under eye feathers and feet.


Ta Da!

He is all done!

I think he looks cute in my collection of other tunisian crochet and freeform crochet dolls I have made over the years.

What a FUN project!

What fun things are you doing?

Please leave us a note and let us know!

We would love to hear all about them!
