Fabulously FUN Fall Flower Pillow ~ New Crochet Fiber Art for R-Chee's Pug Cave

Happy Monday everyone!

R-Chee & I love this time of year!

All of the leaves are orange, yellow and pretty shades of brown as they dry up and blow away off of the trees.

When the wind blows, it looks like a shower of color blowing around with light catching leaves falling all around!

Everyone has their potted mums out that R-Chee loves to sniff and sneeze from every time we walk to the park.

These wonderful sights and smells inspired us to make a Fall Pillow for R-Chee's Pug Cave!

Ta Da!

I finished it while crocheting the afternoon away at Melanie's house.

Her gorgeous African Flower Hexagon afghan is the perfect back drop for my photos!

Thank you Melly for a wonderful day! :)

She just finished another afghan that has like 1 million little granny square centers all crocheted and sewen together!

It took about 10 months to make and I cannot wait to show it too you soon!

My pillow was less of an undertaking as it only took 3 flower squares with some fun borders to connect them all together.

I used my favorite Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick to create this rich effect of vibrant color and texture!

R-Chee and I are so pleased with how it turned out and matches the decor in his Pug Cave. :)

I love to work there in the afternoons crocheting Sweater Vests with a cup of my favorite green tea, a pair of my favorite wool socks warming my toes and R-Chee napping in my lap! :)

Who says a work day cannot be FUN too? :)

What FUN things did you do today?

Did you make a special dinner or go for a walk in the park?

Please leave us a note and let us know!

We cannot wait to hear about all the wonderful things you like to do!

Friday Funnies ~ R-Chee says Let's Party! Colorado Pugs in the Park 2013

Happy Friday everyone!

It is me...

R-Chee!

I had so much FUN at The Colorado Pug Rescue's 2013 Party this year!

It is called Pugs in the Park...

...and boy was it ever!

They had tons of games, contests, food, spas, vets, toys, vendor booths and a big fundraising silent auction that was filled with amazing things to bid on and win while helping all of the pugs in foster care!

Here are some of the photos my dad took of our day for you to enjoy!

Every kind of doggie was welcome to join in on the FUN & learn to relax in style from the pug experts!

There were so many pugs to meet, games to play and smells to smell that I did not know where to start!

So my momma and I just decided to start to explore and see what would unfold!

We went to every booth and greeted every pug we could find in every direction!

We had so much FUN exploring that I needed to take a break and have a snack!

(BTW... I always need a snack :))

Here are just some of the friends we met!

Every pug & person had a wonderful time!

Smiles were shining everywhere!

Thank you CPR and all of the people, family and pug rescues everywhere for all the love, care and hope you bring to the world!

We cannot wait to go again next year!

Please leave us a note and tell us all about the Pug Parties you have been to this year!

We cannot wait to hear all about them, your favorite rescue and your story if you would like to share it with us!

Happy Monday everyone!

R-Chee and I had so much FUN with our New Sweet Dreams - Napping Pug Fabric that we showed you on Friday!

We made a pillow case from 1 yard of the fabric using this free pillow case tutorial!

It was a Fast & Easy project  that made us smile from ear to ear!

I could not wait to share it with you to enjoy too!

Here is a close up of our new fabric for you to see all of the napping pugs!

R-Chee inspired my original drawing that is also available as note cards and address labels for you to enjoy.

... and here is our finished pillow case all ready for tonight's sleep! :)

R-Chee wants to break it in right now so I will fluff up the pillow for his afternoon nap!

You can use 1 yard of our 100% cotton pug fabrics or any other cotton, flannel or fleece fabric that you like for this wonderful and rewarding sewing project that is perfect for beginners as well as expert sewers.

R-Chee and I are definite beginners with our sewing machine and had so much FUN making ours.
