Look how cute this dog is!  I love him so much!

dog bed

 Little Riki needed a new bed!  He is growing up and I am sick of looking at his pink bed.

Using instructions from the Internet, I cut a circle then a long tube.  I also cut two layers of cotton batting.

 Made a sandwich and serged right sides together.  It got a little scary towards the end.  My serger likes to eat projects when I get nervous.  I jammed it and bent the needles or it probably would have been bad.  Left a small section open for stuffing.  Used the silk from a pillow I ordered when having bad allergies.  It was too fluffy for me but perfect for Riki!

 He loves his new bed and hopped in every time I put it down while making it.  I had a matching throw from a previous project so he is ready for winter.

Gelli print gift box

Here is what is on my desk the last few days.  I've managed to work in a little doodling in between organizing.

I covered a brie box with a gelli print to gift a rosary I made to my mother in law  Lola.  It made such a cute little package and my husband said she really liked it.  She gives me cool stuff all the time for my art projects.

art room chaos

 Riki had a heyday with the feather boa this morning!

It is very disturbing to see all my art supplies EVERY where.  My sweet husband finally got the closet painted so I can now sort some things and try to organize the hoard again.  The only good thing about all this painting and moving my crap is seeing what I have.  It is embarrassing and inspiring all in the same moment.  

first haircut

 Riki and I watched this storm pass by after his first haircut.  He was such a good dog I'm hoping he looks okay.  Much cuter long but he had some puppy fuzz that had to be cut off.  I'll post a few more photos after his bath.  I can't get enough pictures of him.  I hold him on my lap and look at pictures of him.  Ha.  Can't wait to see what color his adult coat is going to be.  The brown around his face only shows in pictures.  His white patch on his chest is almost gone.  I've read that their coat can change dramatically.

 Riki has been helping me with my latest project.  By helping, I mean laying on the spot I'm trying to work on.  He is so cute!
