my new obsession and an old one...


I showed you my needle felted bunnies a few days ago - my first needle felting project. After making them, I knew I wanted to try to make a miniature schnauzer (since I have a real one). Here's my attempt:


 I made him last night while I was having a Monk marathon. (You'll thank me later).




 

 Forgive the excessive number of photos.... I have a soft spot for cute doggies.


 Harvey didn't seem to share my enthusiasm.



Guess who LOVES posing for photos....


Can't you see how excited he is???
He got a little bit interested when he thought it might be a new chew toy...
...but it wasn't, so,
"YAWN!"


"ARE WE DONE YET?"


If you are interested in commissioning a special little felted "portrait"
of your pet or another favorite little critter, please e-mail me!

I am linking this post up to "You Capture" over at I Should Be Folding Laundry. The challenge this week is "animals," so I guess my little felted guy AND the Hairy One are appropriate!
You Capture is a weekly photo challenge/linky. Check it out!

Hope you're having a lovely week!

  5. Hey Beth, since you took all these cute photos of Harvey and mini-Harvey, you should link up to You Capture tomorrow over at www.ishouldbefoldinglaundry.com - the theme for this week is animals and I get quite a bit of traffic from linking up over there. She usually puts the link up around 11:00 AM...just in case you're interested (might generate some sales too - you never know!). :-)

  16. Oh My God. I have to have one of those little doggies. My mom has a miniature schnauzer named Hoagie and a tiny fuzzy one sitting on her desk all day would be perfect. I am e-mailing you.

  17. AAAAAW! The photos of your dog with his little stuffed friend are just too cute! I need to learn how to make a jack russell and a chihuahua/yorkie (also known as a MUTT!)
    :)

  19. Beth- You mentioned on my blog that you have a schnauzer...so came over to see him! Harvey is so cute! Love the little felted schnauzer you made!

    Our mini schnauzer is named Titan (big name for a little dog! LOL)
