Pug Christmas Tree Ornament

pug ornament

For the last Christmas in July post of the year, I made a cute little Christmas ornament to match my pug, Bruno. He doesn’t look too impressed, does he?

Anyway, I thought it was cute, and I’ll hang it on my tree this year. I may even make a couple more with squeakers inside. That should impress him! Bruno loves squeakers and won’t play with a toy that doesn’t make noise.

It only takes a few yards of each color, so you probably already have them in your scrap basket.

We all love to crochet, but what about reading? Coffee is essential too, but in my case I prefer a hot cup of tea. Fiber artists all have their own routine. Does yours include coffee and books? It’s officially fall, and soon we will be getting cooler weather, perfect for curling up with a hot drink and a good book. Here’s a cute little bookmark for you to download.

Preemie Crochet Challenge 2021

Helen Wilkinson from Sunflower Cottage Crochet is hosting her Preemie Crochet Challenge again this year. Each day a new baby crochet pattern by an indie designer will be featured. For each pattern you download, we are asking for one item to be donated to a charity for preemies or hospital of your choice. I am honored to have one of my designs selected as the featured pattern today.

HOW DOES THE CHALLENGE WORK?

  1. Each day at 8am London time, the blog post will be updated with that day’s featured pattern.
  2. I will give you the code and links you need. If the designer has a blog, you will be directed there for more information about the pattern; if not you will be taken directly to Ravelry.
  3. You will decide if you would like that pattern.
  4. By accepting the free PDF download, you are pledging to donate at least one made item from that pattern to a Preemie charity/organization/NICU/family of your choosing.
  5. The patterns below will be categorized as the event progresses to make it easier for you to establish which patterns are still available, which are available free on the designers blog, and which are now only paid patterns. The first pattern will be the featured pattern for that day.

To see a slideshow of featured designs, click here: https://youtu.be/JMx0HEveojc

Today’s featured pattern is Elizabeth Bonding Squares by Itchin’ for Some Stitchin’

 

As part of year 2 of the Preemie Crochet Challenge 2021, hosted by Sunflower Cottage Crochet, you can get a FREE PDF copy of the Elizabeth Bonding Squares pattern! This design will be available free with the coupon code today only, then it will be available on Itchin’ for some Stitchin’ blog.
