Valentine, Parson Brown, New Year's Wish....

Happy almost New Years blog friends!

Just wanted to stop in and share a few Valentines I've been working on and share a little funny with you.

Here's a sweet little mousie with hearts in a sack I've been creating lately.

It's my own design.  

These gals are so prim!

 I used a Blue Moon Beginnings pattern for the doll and embellished with a heart pocket full of sweet annie.

You could even use them year round, not just for Valentines.

Here's the funny!

I purchased sweet Parson Brown from Lynn over at The Button Box just before Christmas and he arrived Christmas Eve.  I was so in all of her work.  She had used a real carrot that was dehydrated for his nose as well as his little friend in his pocket.

Well, I had the perfect spot for sweet Parson Brown.

I placed him in a wood child's chair where he could enjoy the holiday season with us in the living room.

If you don't know, we have two dogs~ Snoopy whom has been very sick the past few months and Brandy our six yr old black lab.

Well, I woke up Christmas morning and found Parson had fallen out of his chair.  Not thinking anything of it, I picked him up and placed him back in the chair.

Later Christmas day, I was looking at Parson, sitting in his chair and noticed there was something definitely not right.  

Yep, you guessed it!! BRANDY had eaten poor  Parson Browns nose and his little friends nose TOO!!!

 Poor Parson Brown had a horrible traumatic Christmas Eve experience in his new forever home.  I kissed and hugged on him and told him I'd try to fix him as best I could.  So I got the clay out and fashioned him and his friend new noses. There no where near as pretty as the original, but I think he's much happier now.

So, BEWARE! If you purchase something and it has dried carrots or anything enticing to a dog, don't put it where they can get it~ I would have never thought Brandy would do that to poor Parson.

Wishing all of you ........A

May this be the year for Peace, Love and Happiness throughout the World.
