Don't Let The Doorstop Hit Me...Ouch!

Two, YES two, blog hops happening!

You can find both schedules

Madame Samm of Sew We Quilt continues to share her creative ideas and encourage us
to try new things...Thank You, Madame!

 Carla of Creatin' in the Sticks is juggling two hops at once 
and doing an amazing job of keeping us on track...thanks Carla!

Having doorstops in my house wasn't a high priority, but this blog hop
got me started on something new and totally fun. I now have two doorstops!

This doorstop was inspired by my own Bella dog and a pattern found HERE.
She has huge ears for such a little dog!

"Bella Boo"


"Chick Stop"
This one weighs a ton and is filled with aquarium rocks and Polyfil.
It's perfect for holding my door open in the kitchen.

You can keep track of all the amazing creations here:

  6. Look at you. Aren't you the creative one. I want a door stop that looks like my dogs. I had seen that pattern and loved it.
    Your little chickens are so sweet and the added ruffle sends that one over the top for me.
    Thanks for hopping, Carol. As usual, your projects inspired me.

  21. What a great likeness on your dog doorstop and the tail on the backside is a fun detail. svonfumetti at yahoo dot com

  22. Carol, they are precious! I got lost for awhile when I checked out the link you provided to Wee Folks! That's quite a site! Thanks for sharing. I've been anticipating this hop ever since it's conception, as my daughter has asked me to make her a few doorstops. So many cute ideas to follow up on!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh me gee I LOVE the ears. I have to make one of those for my Franklin. He says hello to Miss Bella. :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Your door stoppers are adorable! I expected no less! Thank you for the link to the site. I am going to make one of hers too.. mums the word until the 5th. :)

  25. I wonder how Bella dog (real) is doing with Bella dog (fake)!! What a great representation. Those ears are a hoot. My favorite is the chick doorstop. Not only are the fabrics 'cuter than a bug' but that's the BEST idea to have put the ties on top. Really, who wants to bend over and use two hands to move the door stop out of the way? Brilliant!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Your Bella Boo is superb! Great stitching on her. Love your chicken stop too. I never would have thought of aquarium rocks. Very clever!

    ReplyDelete

  60. How adorable! The Bella is bootiful! :)

    ReplyDelete
  61. Oh, how cute your door stops are! I can hardly believe how much your Bella looks like Willie I used to have. We had some dogs and cats over the years and had zero. I didn't want any more pets. My husband wanted another dog and got a dog. He named him Willie. When my husband divorced me, he did not take the dog. So, I used to tell people I got his Willie in the divorce - I am so bad! I traveled a tons with my job then. The kids saw Willie on Thursday and he was gone on Friday when I got home. It was my last day on that gig away from home. Seeing your cute projects does bring back fond memories of the pup. You always have wonderful projects. Thanks for always participating and bringing joy!!!!

  65. Your doggie doorstop is one of the cutest things I've seen in a long time. I think the cute factor is exponentially magnified by that stinkin' adorable furbaby of yours!
