Hello everyone,

Today is a cute little pug cross stitch design to remind us all to hug a pug! My friend has an adorable little pug puppy who gives her many hugs whenever she is feeling under the weather.

This is a fun stitch for a pug loving friend or family member. Why not change up the shade of thread to look more like a pug you like to hug, maybe they will give you a hug while you are trying to sew this. Which now I think about it may not be entirely helpful and maybe a little distracting. Its ok though, since pugs are super cute they can get away with distracting me from my stitching.

Much love and happy stitching
Gemma xx

Rainbow Bridge - Angel dog waiting for its owner cross stitch design

Hello Everyone,
Since releasing my previous design of a cat waiting for its owner on Rainbow bridge a few of my friends have requested that I draw a dog version. 

Heres the cat version of this design: http://buzybobbins.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/rainbow-bridge-angel-cat-waiting-for.html

This dog is not meant to be any particular breed so i did not use any too distinctive features. Though i must admit the sitting position it just like my friends pug who quite adamantly defends his favourite seat on the arm of the couch.

For those of you who are not familiar with the poem here it is:

The Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...

Hello everyone
This year I have challenged myself to draw a few more animals in particular different breeds of dog since they are recognisable but all so different.
Today is a simple sketch of a Beagle puppy, while a beagle may have more shades of brown in reality I used the minimum amount to make it easier to sew. If you have a particular dog in mind it should be easy enough to change the shade of brown or the shape of the stripe on its face to match the lovely dog you know.
This design also has whole stitches only to make it good for a beginner who is looking for a larger project to sew.

Hello everyone.
This is an adorable picture of one of my Dads new border collie puppies. I could not resist doing a little sketch of this cute little chap. This was done in one of the rare times that the puppies were sitting still.
Last week the puppies got up to all kinds of mischief, it seems that as soon as you take your eyes off them for one moment they seem to find something to chew or chase. Luckily the cat in the house has learnt to stay in high places but does sometimes taunt the puppies by staying just out of their reach. She is going to get a bit of a surprise once they have grown a little and can reach her favourite perch.

So the puppies got hold of a fluffy beanbag and they started to play with it. One puppy on one side and one on the other they started having a little tussle. (though we didn't see this else we would have stopped them) Suddenly all we hear as a big tear as the beanbag just comes apart and spills beans everywhere, all over the kitchen while the puppies look on a little confused.
We find one of them covered head to toe in beans I think he must have gotten a little static on his fur while the other one just sits in the middle of the mess trying to look as innocent as possible.
So we cleaned up the beans and tried to clean up the puppies but they ran off taking beans with them all over the house.
We are still finding little white beans all over the place!
