Short and Sweet


This entry is short and sweet. Short because this all I have to show you today and sweet just because these designs from Willowberry Designs  are so cute.  Another reason it is sweet is that I had my daughter draw an outline of our Schnauzer.  I stitched her instead of the cat that was originally in the design only because I don't have a cat at this time.  I am sure the original cat was waiting for a bird to fly to the bed n' breakfast but let's pretend that Cindi is there taking time to smell the flowers. If you have not seen these blocks you should visit Willowberry Designs and check out the blocks.  They are so creative.

With Passion, Carrie P.

Love the addition of the dog. My dog actually likes to chase birds. He is too slow to catch them, but enjoys the chase.

Adorable! I've been away from my blog because I've been sick, but I'll be posting my blocks soon. I love how you stitched a dog instead of the cat. (I have two black cats, so it's perfect for me as is...)

Your little Schnauzer is so cute. My daughter has one named Schatzi and she is a sweetie. I love these stitcheries...need to get busy on this one.

Crispy said...

Awww that is too cute. What a great family treasure too. Your daughter will love to be reminded of the Cindi when you show her this block after she's all grown up.

Cindi is now immortalized. Great line drawing of a Schnauzer by your daughter too!

I've printed off all the designs to date and are filed under "future endeavors".

Love it, Carrie.

Cute, cute, and more cute! I have mine drawn off to work on next week while on Spring vacation. Yours is adorable with the dog instead of the kitty...not that the kitty isn't cute mind you, I have a kitty and absolutely love mine.

Hi Carrie, well I have to agree... that puppy is way too cute!! Very clever :-) I totally love seeing these little blocks popping up all over the place. And I should add... our furbies don't really know that they're supposed to catch birds. Norman actually thinks he's a dog and Ratty is afraid of - well, just about everything, inlcuding birds! :-)
Looking forward to seeing what you do with the next one, and I'll tell everyone to head over here to see your Cindi,
lotsa love, Cheryl

Our little dog likes to sit in the backyard and bark at the birds on the roof - hes a crazy little guy lol.

Deb said...

I love your rendition of your Willow blocks..the dog and his face are perfect.. you are so artistic Carrie..
I am so amazed everytime I come to visit.

Mrs. Goodneedle said...

Precious puppy! Lovely hand work, well done!

Karen said...

Good idea to change the cat to a dog and your daughter did a good drawing for you. I wish I was more artistic!

A Spoonful Of Sugar said...

What a sweet stitchery! Love how your incorporated your own dog into the design!

Jo in TAS said...

Oh I wish I'd seen this post earlier. I just finished the stitchery and I too only have a dog and you guessed it a schnauzer called Lucy, she's all black and she's my constant companion. Fabulous outline your daughter has drawn!

Adorable!
I just found this BOM last night and I have to do it, and catch up, so off to Micheal's I went at lunch today, there the only place in town that sells DMC and I had to add more colours to my collection. The only one they didn't have was the variegated green so I'll have to imprvise.

I love the dog. I wanted to put a dog in mine too but due to lack of talent and laziness, I ended up leaving the cat.
