~Spring is in the Air~

.....well it seems Ben thinks so anyway! Anyone who has had anything to do with Labradors will know that they are constantly shedding their coats. Yesterday, whilst my son and I were sitting outside and he was patting Ben, we were amazed at the amount of hair that was brushing off him. He is really 'blowing his coat'. DS, who has always been one to come up with 'great innovative ideas', (perhaps that is why his job is in advertising), suggested we could go into business making these....

Doggie Toupees

We thought we should call this version "The Comb-over"
and this.

... 'The Quiff '

We even can do a version for those dogs wanting a complete change of look....

Thank you to Ben and Indy, the two beautiful models who took part in this. They take their job very seriously, don't you think. (especially when being distracted with food :) I am really hoping though, that if Ben continues to loose his hair as he was yesterday, that he WON'T be needing one of these :))

On the stitching front, not a lot to show just yet. My Strawberry Blonde, 'long-time WIP' is slowly progressing but an end is in sight. Should be able to show you our SAL August ornament soon. I can show you this little pair though. I made these cute little primitive Chickadees a while ago.

They are from an E-pattern which I downloaded from here

Son, you outgrew my lap, but never my heart.
