crafts:: summer dog cushion

since my last dog pillow project, it has been a much-loved essential in muu's life. he lounges on his pillow all day long but recently, i've been finding him more off the pillow than on the pillow! he still wants to snuggle up but he gets all sweaty so he rolls most of his body off so it's on the cool hard floor.. the fabric is cosy but i guess more appropriate for winter. 

so i decided i would make him a summer doggie cushion. 
using this excellent tutorial from living with punks, i made this. 


so fluffy its like a throne!


it's big enough for bunny too...


but a little too small for daddy... 


caught busting a hole in bunny yet again... 


man... photoshoots are tiring!!

the little man snuck out of bed early this morning so he could spend some quiet time on his new pillow. it was sweet but at the same time, it hurt a little.. how can a new pillow replace mummy cuddles in the morning, right? so i scooped him up and brought him back to bed in a huff and forced mandatory cuddle-time on him...

anyhow, hope you like it as much as he does! :)

p.s. i link my crafts to these parties.
