The Baby Uggs??? I did this as well...and instead of newborn booties my 4 yr old got some!

Yep. I didn't like the way they looked either.

Lion Brand Suede is available at Smiley's right now - only $2.99 a skein! Looks like they have about 9 colors too.

Arielluria - I made this bag with Lamb's Pride Worsted, if that helps at all. Much cheaper!

BTW - I have been seeing shih-tzu puppies everywhere!!!! AHHHHH!!! I want one!

Alright! You can all of mine at my Flickr album. They are AWESOME! Lapdogs, but playful, downright clownish.....it seems they sometimes do things because they know it will make you LOL!

Go to www.petfinder.com type in your zip code and breed and you'll see tons in your area looking for new homes. I recommend adult dogs over puppies for several reasons, no potty training or chewing on furniture.....their personality is already formed (is he cuddly or is he clingy? Do you want an active one or a 100% lapdog?), health issues are known, etc.

Sounds like a good deal. I just saw it at Michael's for $6.99! I loooooooooove the teal color. It was surprisingly yarnlike, I expected a more leathery feel. Perhaps Berocco is more leathery, from the pictures, it seems so.
