Sew what???

I have officially sewn my first item. It's a dog blanket. It took me a LONG time! Just to figure out how to thread the dang sewing machine took me a hour. But I did it! All for the love of dog. It didn't help that the cat thought the spinning thread on the top of the sewing machine was a new toy.
When I went to the fabric store the lady said, "So is this for a baby blanket?" I said, "No, it's for my dog."
She gave me a REALLY weird look.
Whatever.
Don't hairless dogs need blankets just as much as babies???
Anyway, Ellie is quite pleased with it. It fits nicely in her kennel and has a fleece back so it's warm and comfy. It looks better in person than it does in the picture.

I'm loving the side-swept hair.
Next sewing project will be a blanket for Ozzy because I think he's a little jealous. I'm thinking of something that's black and white so he blends in with it. Just for fun.
