| Here's the coat I made for her for when we go to the Nutcracker. I can't decide whether to put gold buttons on it or white snoflakes that have snowmen faces on them. What do you think? |

| Thank you LoganHogan and Mary! Yes, I'll put up the picture of the buttons. The pattern is Butterick 3634. Bought it on sale for $3.99. Found the white fabric on the 90% off table. Originally $9.99 a yard. Bought 3yds for $3.00. The red is the long poodle. On sale also 60% off. Paid 3.99 for 1yard. Bought 1 yard. I lined it with white muslim (b/c it's not that cold here) that I had bought a bolt of for .59 cents a yard. Used 3 yards. Ended up spending less than $12.00 for the entire outfit. I feel like a bandit LOL |

| Thank you Mary, that's quite a compliment! I didn't know what the word 'couture' meant...so I had to look it up. Thank you very much for that compliment! |

| Fabulous as usual. What did your mom say about this outfit sewn on her old machine? Your Bonnie is some lucky girl. She'll be a show stopper in her outfit. What has she asked for next? |

| Budster, LOL, we went to JoAnns this weekend while the sale was going on. Saw a really cute pattern, showed it to BonnieBell and we decided we couldn't live without making her little dog one of these. LOL |
