Some days, things go so wrong you just need some sewing therapy to make things better. Yesterday started off fine, but ended up a mess. The capper? I think Easton locked my keys in the car…. and Bret is out of town. If the keys aren’t inside, then he’s hidden them so well I won’t be able to find them until we move again – which will be years and years from now. So after retreating to my sewing room, I came out with a quick little project for my Stocking Swap partner.
Stuffed dog toys! When I went to Hancock Fabrics last, they had a flyer with fleece ideas. I had picked one up (it entertained Easton while I shopped) and this was a project suggested by the book – although they recommended using Kwik Sew 3207. I couldn’t imagine spending over $10 for a pattern that I could make myself, so I drew out a bone pattern and enlarged my version for the bigger bone. I actually think I made it too long, but hopefully it will work – where’s a dog to test it out when you need one?
Thankfully, Bret comes home late tonight so we can unlock the car and (hopefully) find those keys! I guess since we’re trapped at home today, I’ll get some sewing time in…. and maybe some housecleaning.

Oh no! I’ve been victim to my nephews hiding my keys, and they are very good at it. I hope they are in the car too! I’ve found that making dog toys longer is a benefit, because it makes them easier to play tug-of-war with, and produces more warm fluffy toy for the dog to cuddle with, so fret not.
Oyyyy… not a nice way to start off a new year. Tell us if you found them.
Very Cute Bones! At least your day was creative and productive. Good save!
I was kept home waiting for the AC repair guy.
So I did house work, which was mostly what I was supposed to get done today anyway, as we have a house guest coming for a few nights.
But in “cleaning”, I re-found a few patterns (aprons and ballgowns!) and took a minute to dream on those.
(I must have been one of the few meanie moms who never let the kids play with my keys,LOL. Check Easton’s favorite trucks or toys for your keys, especially if they have compartments.)
Oh no. I can’t believe it is stocking swap time again. You’ll have a lucky partner.
