REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE, REMEMBER

REDUCE: When I get the urge to put a pug design in my mind onto paper I grab paper that is going to be tossed away:

REUSE: This is computer paper. We have stacks and stacks of these at work. Oh lookey, purple must be my favorite color. Purple pen, purple scissors.

Folding, drawing, snipping, cutting and a BlackBerry:

This is a pug doll I am designing entitled PUGlette:

RECYCLE: I have lots and lots of clothes. I'm a fashion freak, sometimes I would wear an outfit only one time and it would hang in the closet.

Well I did Spring cleaning in June and anything beige or striped, tan or plaid, I placed on the "PUG IT" pile. Yep, most folks have a "TO KEEP" pile and a "TO TOSS" pile. I have those too and of course my "PUG IT" pile. You wouldn't believe how many pug ears I can cut from a size 6 pair of slacks I wore only one time. Next time I'll keep count. In the meantime here is PUGlette in the making from a beige striped two piece suit that went into the "PUG IT" pile. I cut 4 dolls using 9 pattern pieces. Only got 4 because the stripes on this outfit was difficult to even out. These I cut while that electric pressure cooker was cooking our dinner.

REMEMBER I just remembered that I promised my dear friend in Colorado, Melissa, a pic of how her lovely pug pillows my children gave me for Mother's Day are sitting smartly in the new Toyota 4Runner I bought for my son. Melissa they are lovely:

Melissa has a website that I love to visit. Check it out at pugnotes.com

Until tomorrow my Blog Buddies - I end this post with this pic of Max with one of the "No Evil" dolls:
