Christmas in June! Ha. I know it is super early, but I wanted to do something other than crochet and once I got the idea I HAD TO DO IT!
Ok - I’m obsessed with my dog Pilot (some of you may have noticed) and I wanted to make a Christmas thank you gift for all the humans in his life. He attends playcare twice a week for a half day, has a groomer who bathes and does his nails monthly and I have friends and family who have welcomed him into their homes as I hate to leave him home alone and bring him most places with me.
I thought I would make little dog themed ornaments with polymer clay:
Originally I wanted to do small red hearts that I would adhere to the back of the bone and then paint Pilot’s name next to it, but quickly realized I could not mold tiny little hearts even with my creepy little carnival hands. So I decided to make large, free-formed hearts:
I have a very small amount of beads, but serendipitously I received a fantastic happy mail from @Rlynn that included some great beads that worked perfect for this project:
Oh my goodness! These are just the sweetest little ornaments ever! Excellent use of those beads!!

I got teary-eyed a bit to hear how you were able to create these lovelies thanks to the generosity of this group…these gifts will be given with your care and love as well as those who assisted you in your endeavors…gulp more teary eyes…
They will be so fun to give…and with chocolate…hey, great gift for anyone!

Pilots lives his best life, and so do all of us and everyone you come into contact with that gets to “know” him. Super special fella you have there! Cute ornaments, too!
These are fantastic! I think it turned out for the best that you did the hearts this way instead of the original plan.
But aside from the ornaments…how are you going to keep chocolate stored in your house the rest of the year without eating it?? You’re a stronger person than me.
