I am dreaming doggy beds

Its taking over my life, last night I even had a dream about doggy beds, so today I made 2 more and decided for now that will be the lot,

I made the blue and gold bed by using Aida material, forming it into the shape I wanted, painted it gold,  using some lovely blue material I made a cushion,  added a little gold embellishment to the front. nice and comfy.

The other one, I cut out the shape in mount board, stuck it all together, covered it with some sticky back carpet that I had, made a tartan cushion, added some braid to decorate,
both were easy to make,

I have been looking for a suitable shop to display the doggy items, I do not really want to buy one, In my shed I came across an old and battered room box, that's it I shouted, needs a bit of work, like a top, a front a window and a door, I am sure i will be able to do something with it.

one doggy bed done

Hi all
I continue with my doggy theme, I have completed one bed, there are others but they are still work in progress,
this bed in the picture, I made from stiff card, material from my stash, plus foam for padding, I used 4 beads for the feet, it looks better in real life,

today I could not do any mini's real life got in the way, shopping to do and I looked around and thought I really must do some dusting, you could write your name in it, still its all done now, I can forget it and get on with what I love doing, miniatures.

I must say I am really pleased and surprised at the amount of people that follow my blog, I thank you and hope you enjoy what you see.

I wondered about the lights now I have seen them they look better than messing about with wired lights, are they much dearer?

still addicted

another follower, Hi and welcome, nice to see you here.

I am still addicted, today I made collars and leads, so easy,
To make the leads I cut a thin piece of leather, one end I folded over to form the handle, the other end I attached a small metal ring, I also used some jewellery chains, again cut to lengthy, made a handle, they both looked effective.
The collars, I cut a small piece of leather to size, decorated it with tiny stick ons, I used nail art stickers, folded one end for the buckle, attached a small jump ring, some I stuck into a circle, others I left open.
I am enjoying this project so much, have not started yet to build the shop, I like to have all  my objects ready so that when the shop is built I can begin to put everything in without waiting.

I did sit and draw some designs for doggy beds and I will be staring these tomorrow.

Hope you are all enjoying this project.
see you all tomorrow. see pictures
