A Pug for a Pug Lover

I have a friend who really likes pugs.  She actually has a wall in her home devoted to them.  Yesterday was her birthday, and I knew this was the perfect opportunity to make her something special... so I did.  I always get REALLY nervous before I give a handmade gift-- what if it's dumb?  What if they won't like it?-- This happens every time for me. 

I'm happy to report that she did (seem to) love it.  AND, now I've made my first pug.  That took me long enough.  ;)

  15. That is so sweet , especially his little nose and tongue!
    I worry about giving hand-made gifts too - will they appreciate the thought & effort, will they like it as much as I thought they might...so far so good though!

  16. This is so cute, I love it. I get really nervous about handmade gifts. I spend way too much time during the making stages worrying about if they are going to like it or not.

  26. How could she not love it?! It's so cute! <3

    I feel the same when giving handmade presents though, the 'will they like it' pressure is definitely always there!

  27. it is so cute! And I love reading that you still get nervous about giving handmade gifts--I thought this was something that just happened to me because I am fairly new at it. It's a weird vulnerability, but how could someone not love what you put time and effort and love into? Especially your stuff, lady.

  38. Great job! You have interpreted the whiskers really well, and I really like the way you set your little creatures eyes low; It makes them look really soulful.
