This is Archie..
the bigger bossier dog and he wants to play ball..
(Except his ball looks a bit like a pumpkin at the moment!)I would really love to keep those little vintage blocks at the bottom;
but, I'm too precious and didn't want to ruin the set so they are bluetacked on for now, making him a bit like a peg rail.Then I had the idea of these toadstool pegs I used to hang my Christmas cards from last year...
so he becomes an instant notice hanger-peg thingy for all those important messag..um..cute postcards.
Then this is Wilf; 
long lost cousin of Stanley (his claim to fame)
He too may end up with pegs..although his eyes need to be sorted out, he looks a bit worried if you ask me.
I think it's all down to this book,
My favourite from when I was little and we visited my other Granny.A rather well read 1949 edition of Ginger's adventures that belonged to her.Little tan and white scruffy dogs are just so cute.
Oh dear, someone's feeling left out..
and big stinky black dogs are cute too.
yep, I thought that would make him smile.
Oooh I love them.
ReplyDeleteThey are so nostalgic... I'm sure I must have read books like your grandmother's, even though I don't remember them. I was more of a cat person when I was little...
ReplyDeleteThey are so brilliant! I love them, you are so clever!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness your creations are perfectly wonderful! And your black doggie is sooo sweet!
ReplyDeleteGosh I love old books like that -the illistartions are so yummy!
Have a wonderful weekend~Smiles~Tam!
Those dogs are brilliant - not sure which one I like best - oh I like them all. You are being your own worst critic, I couldn't see one problem with them, but I understand your perfectionism.

Hi Sairer,
ReplyDeleteI love your dogs - really great! Your big stinky black dog is adorable; reminds me very much of a big old labrador we had when I was young.
Thanks for your lovely comments and watch the post next week!!
Have a great weekend,

Hello
ReplyDeleteDiscovered you site quite by chance... You are a v.talented lady. Loove the dogs and your black lab is gorgeous too. I have a real life Stanley the name inspired form Cath Kidston's own lakeland terrier, ours is a mini-schnauzer. And his Stan My Man lol!
When are you gonna sell these???
I will be first in the queue to buy, perfect to hang Stanley's lead on! And btw your house is to die for it looks like it should be in a Country Living magazine.
Glad I found you
your new fan Julie x
