Pugs & Kisses! Happy Valentine’s Day!! xoxo Shanny, Jon, Ike & Kea Getting 2 pugs to sit still was quite a feat! Note they are wearing matching bandanas? Yep, I sewed those myself. I think Kea’s is the smallest puppy outfit ever made! Can you tell who’s the ham of the family? Kea makes Ike…

So…I’m sewing Baby steps. I’ve started with some bandanas for the pups. Ike’s my glam fashion model. I’m excited though because I’m getting the hang of pinning, and my stitches are straight. I don’t suppose I really needed 2 yards of fabric for 2 pug bandanas, but you gotta start somewhere!

Super Bowl Even though we cheered, even though we wore kicky homemade Panthers shirts , they still lost. Poor Ike wore his super Panther fan cape in vain. Better pic of the super Panther fan cape here. Maybe next year!
