Land Mines & Fur Bombs

I had my daughter do a little modeling for me this afternoon

and on our way out the backdoor

we had to steer around a few land mines.

The mines were courtesy of our big white pit bull,

better known as the Pigapotomus.....formerly know as the Pitapotomus.

And of course since she's white, nothing is safe....

she drops her fur bombs everywhere.

But....we still love her

So, Taylor's modeling consisted of holding the rug hooked

~Rug Hooked Theodore~

I love how they turned out!!

But they are so big compared to their stitched counterparts.
