My eldest daughter and her boyfriend have a new 'baby'...
...a silver labrador puppy named Mason!
What a sturdy little guy he is...
...and what big paws he has!!!
Now you know why we ordered the biggest dog bed that L L Bean carries!!
I wanted to make something handmade for him, as well...
...so I felted him a toy bone.
It's too big to fit in his mouth, now, of course...
...but I think, before too long, it will be just the right size!!
I made a resist using foam floor underlayment...
...and covered it with tufts of yellow and bright green wool.
I used grey pencil roving to write his name...
...and after felting and drying, patched the opening by sewing in a piece of orange felt from a previous project.
As you can see, my daughter is in love with this little guy...
...and it gives me a glimpse of the loving and wonderful mother she will be when she has 'real' babies!!
