meet carlile the corgi. he's a shy but loving little pooch. he wishes he could find the courage to ask the cute dachshund next door for a walk along the neighborhood stream, but alas, all he can do is hide behind his human's leg whenever she trots by.
so, i had some issues with this little guy. living in a small city = limited yarn variety. consequently, i had to use two different yarn gauges to create the corgi. no matter how many times i stomped through the aisles, i couldn't find the perfect corgi fur-like yarn. another thing: the selection of eyeballs and noses are limited as well. i had to order them from an etsy store called 6060. if you're looking for doll eyes, noses, doll joints, and/or buttons, this is the place for you. no really, there's literally no other store online to buy a good selection of doll thingamabobs for cheap. and they shipped fast.
omgsosdfcute. sorry, rendered almost speechless by the cute. seriously.
ReplyDeletedo you have thrift stores near you? i remember several years ago that fun fur stuff was everywhere! i run across it sometimes at my local thrift or maybe if you felted him a little he'd look more furry like? hmmm.
Great work, as always!
p.s. what does that print say in photo 2? looks fun *wink*
Hey Citizen K,
ReplyDeleteAs always, thank you for your comment! I'm so happy because someone actually reads my blog!! :)) You know, the thought of unraveling some old sweaters from the thrift store did cross my mind...I've never unraveled a sweater before. I'll have tack that onto my ever-growing to-do list!
P.S. That card is from a cute little shop in Florida called Everything But the Girl. I'll have to create a sassy little crocheted item and use the card as the background. Until then, I won't tell you what it says! :)
