IT'S FRIDAY FUN DAY! Skull Dog Collar Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 IT'S FRIDAY FUN DAY!

Skull Dog Collar 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

I designed this simple Crochet pattern

back in 2010 For Maximo. 

I think he looks adorable in this Collar.

Rosie Looks pretty cute also.

I decided it was time to retest, and update this 

Crochet Pattern.

And record a brand new video, also.

It's easy to stitch up, and looks so cute in many different colors. You can even make it into a headband or collar for

 you to match your pet. It makes a fun a simple Halloween 

for photos, also.

Pig Ears Are Yummier Then Pig Snouts!

Well, My Son and Hubby went to

Murdoch's and came home

with  gifts for the dogs.

A Pig snout for Maximo

and

A Pig Ear for Rosie.

Maximo took the pig ear from Rosie!!!!!!

And, Rosie took it back!

So, I guess Pig Ears are

Yummier then Pig Snouts!!

Yarn Bomb -- Big Spool!

UPS left this on my Doorstep...

I was so excited, I thought it was a big spool of yarn!

NOT!

Well, when my hubby was done with his project,

he gave me the empty spool.

I decided to Yarn Bomb it!

First,

 I covered the center with Home Town USA yarn,

wrapping it around, and around, and around......

And around, till the center was covered.

Then I crocheted a circle top,

using different scraps of yarn.

By doing decrease stitches on the last 2 rows,

 it naturally fit over the edge.

Lastly, I made a circle on the top of the bottom,

and sewed it in place.

I was going to use this as a nifty side table

 in my craft room,

But I think Maximo and Rosie Bell

Have other ideas.

I Love How the Spool

turned out....

What do You think?

Fall Colors

Fall 2010  Looking Down Our Street

Fall in Oklahoma isn't as Colorful as it is other places, but we do have some nice colors. This  a picture looking down our street. I think it is rather pretty.





Rosie  and Maximo

I brought Rosie and Maximo out front to play. We woke up to rain this morning, which we badly needed and more rain is coming. So I decided to take advantage of the break in the rain and let the pooches play in the leaves in the front yard.



Maximo did not like the wet leaves!!!!!

He just stood there and looked at me as if to say, "Mommy you have got to be kidding me, I am not getting my precious paws all wet!"  




Rosie Loved the leaves!!!

She ran around sniffing and prancing around, throwing the leaves in the air, well as far as you can throw  wet leaves. She had a blast!



Maximo in the flowers.

Maximo jumped up into the flower bed thinking it would be dry there.  NO, he got his precious paws wet and just looked at me again, with those sweet sad eyes, until I went over and picked him up...but of course I took a pic first!



Rosie in the flowers.

I guess Rosie didn't want to be left out, she jumped up into the flower bed and started posing for the camera. I think this is her serious face!



Looking the opposite direction, up our street.

 So even if we don't get all the reds, golds, and oranges in our fall folige that other states get.  I still love Fall In Oklahoma!
