A Dog for Kentlee

So, I have this awesome trick for my brother on Christmas Day.
My brother knows I've been wanting a dog.  Common sense keeps me from getting one.
Anyway, I'll tell my brother I got Kentlee (his 11 month old) a dog for Christmas.
Right when his jaw drops and he starts to yell, I'll pull out this adorable stuffed Scottie dog.
How cute is this?
I didn't have a pattern for this, I made it by looking at Aunt Spicy's.
Check hers out here.  She's made tons, I bet she could make them with her eyes closed.

I think on the next one, I could stuff it more on the legs and all the corners.  Live and learn.
I tied a mint green shiny ribbon around his neck.  I also stitched the ribbon on by hand.  Just in case that Kentlee decides to remove said ribbon, someone should see him before he's finished. (hopefully)

Thanks Aunt Spicy for the inspiration.

Merry Christmas to all!

  2. It's WONDERFUL, Tonya!!! I bought a dog like that in the Amish country at one of their shops. Yours looks every bit as nice as the one I bought. GOOD idea to stitch the ribbon in place...don't need that going into Kentlee's mouth! Good trick to pull on your brother, too!

  9. That is an awesome dog... Such a wonderful idea and so thoughtful, too. No dog food to buy and no 'gifts' in the back yard to clean up. The best thing besides all the above? You get to pull your brother's leg first. I love that!

    Here's wishes for a wonderful, fun Christmas!
