Dog gone Fun! Blog Hop Day 2

Thanks for hopping over to my blog. Today is day two and if you came from Jess's blog then you are on the right trail. If you are a regular follower and stopped by to see what's happening, you may want to start at Haidee's blog so you can find out how to win a new Apple Shuffle!

This weekend is all about Dog Rescue awareness. To see my story about my rescued dogs click HERE. Today I'll be introducing you to my current dog, Emjay. Well, what can I say? He's not your typical West Highland Terrier. He has super fluffy fur and is scared of anything smaller than he is (especially flies). How did I come about his name you ask? Well, Chicago Bulls fan - Michael Jordan - MJ - ergo the phonetic spelling - Emjay.


After losing my first dog, Banco, along with having difficulty becoming pregnant, I decided to get another dog. We ended up buying one from the breeder we had adopted our previous two Westies from.  And then.... a month later.... guess who was pregnant?! That was one busy year!

Emjay

For my project today I made a "Doggie Bag" to put Emjay's toys, food, and leash in when we take him to the kennel. I used the Mickey Font cart for the bone and letters. I first cut a piece of fabric to the approximate size I needed, then I ironed on a piece of Steam and Seam 2 to the back side. I placed the pieces on a very sticky Cricut mat and loaded it into my Expression. I used a regular blade with my depth at 4, my speed at 3, and my pressure at 4. After the images were cut I simply peeled off the backing and ironed it onto my bag (purchased at Hobby Lobby on sale).

  7. Back for day two. Nice to hop host with you.
    A very nice bag. It even looks about the size that emjay could pull it along herself!! Can use this same idea for people too! I have 2 cats and have not made them anything. Cats just take over the stuff they want!!
