It’s very exciting, I know, but I made a placemat tonight!! It took very little time, and most of the effort was making a pattern to cut out, but, alas, some ironing and sewing and trimming and TAH-DAH!!
A dog bone shaped placemat for the new puppy’s bowls to sit on. (Yes, I am a dork. Yes, I am ok with it. 
)
Please ignore the icky floor. Matt hasn’t mopped in awhile. 
And please ignore the super shiny glare – had to use flash in dark, stormy kitchen. Just a cute puppy/dog fabric I found sandwiched between a couple sheets of vinyl to make it easy to clean. Same on the reverse. 
Next project? Lunch bags!!

Loooooooooooooooove the yellow theme with flowers. Soooo cheerful and I think YOU ROCK, making a placemat for the new puppy. YOu never cease to amaze me! And as for making a lunch bag for the teacher? AWESOME. Cute, practical and oh so thoughtful. Us? We just bought a bunch of cut flowers and a card…. you? clever/thoughtful. Me? lazy.
Very cute Dawn!
