Sewing Project and Stuffed Animal Repair

So..... I have been on the look out for kitchen curtains for the longest time. I just can't find a set that I am in love with. They are either way too expensive or they just don't look right. I don't know why I am being so picky, I just want everything to look right. So, I was in Target a few days ago and I headed straight to the clearance sections (because I love that little red clearance sticker!!).  I just so happened to find the most beautiful tablecloth. It was love at first sight!





Target only had these 3 matching tablecloths left.  I found 2 long tablecloths that will fit our sliding glass doors, and 1 round tablecloth that I will trim and sew to fit the kitchen window. Our kitchen and dining room are connected and I need both sets of curtains to match. These will work perfectly. I hope to complete this sewing project this weekend and take some pics to show you.

Lately, we have been having problems with our dog Mello. Not big problems, just weird problems. He has some obsession with taking a stuffed animal and biting off the nose and eyes on it. I don't really understand why. I thought dogs were supposed to tear a stuffed animal to shreds. Not Mello. He prefers only eyes and ears. Case in point;

The poor, defenseless, stuffed dogs didn't have a chance.  Allison came up with the idea of giving them a new nose. We searched my button box and found some cute ones to add to the dogs. But we didn't stop there. Allison wanted to give them fur accessories. And this is what we came up with.

I think they look much happier and cheerful. Allison was so happy! Then she started to look for other injured animals and found a wounded horse. No problem! (Update: small dog in the middle has already lost his yellow nose, and it is nowhere to be found.) 

At the rate Mello is chewing up noses and eyes, every stuffed animal is going to have something hot glued to them! But it was a lot of fun and Allison definitely enjoyed it!
