A Mandy memory...

[chocolatepuppy]

Just wanted to share the beautiful scarf Corinna made for me from Mandys fur! I absolutely love it! Thanks again Corinna!
Here's the scarf folded in half, you can see the pretty fringed ends and it's longer than it looks in the pic.

And here's Mandy saying give me back my fur mom! Check out Mandys grizzly bear snout!

That's so cool! I'm saving up Duke's fur to make a special blanket. I'll have one area in the middle of his fur and surround it by some hand dyed yarn from a friend. How much did you have to save?

[chocolatepuppy]

Surprisingly it wasn't that much. I had two quart size freezer bags smooshed full. I'm telling ya Val, you will love it. It is one of my most precious possesions. I can't wait to wear it!

Very beautiful Corinna.

That is so neat! How in the world did she do that..and how will a blanket be made from fur. Sounds like a great thing to do..HOW???

I'm so glad to Mandy approved Nebo did the same thing with Amy's. The white is a strandof silk ,I was a making sure I had enough. Funny you caught her grizz snout Sunday night after work we had to wait a few mintues to go to our cars, had one wandering around our parking lot. Of course the last day to be open to the public.

That is super cool. Too bad my pups don't shed enough fur to make anything.

That's awesome!!!

OMG!! With as much as my pups shed I could have an entire wardrobe of clothes made from their fur! I already have carpets that look like they are made of dog fur!

What a wonderful thing to have!
Mandy will be keeping you warm this winter during our cold winter days here in North East Ohio even when you're not at home!!

Thats awesome. I was saving up Nanooks fur, I had a HUGE outdoor garbage bag full but a few months ago it got spilled all over the place right before my pipes sprung a leak. After a few hours trying to pick it up, dry it & keep it all clean and only got about 1/4 of it done I gave up and picked it up by the bunches, left it in a safer spot to dry & to clean. Days later it was starting to get a musty smell etc.. etc... I ended up giving up.

That is so neat! How in the world did she do that..and how will a blanket be made from fur. Sounds like a great thing to do..HOW???

They spin & weave it just like sheep/llama fur etc... Then they knit it into what ever they want.

Wow. It takes talent to make that. How sweet of Corrina to make that for you.

[jackie]

It is beautiful! One question, does it smell like wet dog when it gets damp?

[chocolatepuppy]

Thanks for the replies everyone! I owe it all to Corinna and Mandy!
