Something new

[JessL]

Working on a new kind of project. Building a Pug planter for my sweet neighbor.  Still have some coloring to do and putting it all together. The colored pieces below are not attached yet. I might still change the coloring on the face a bit and still looking for the perfect color to stain the body pieces.  I'm having fun.  Making a Bulldog next for one of my oldest friends.

How unique! Great idea..

 I saw this pattern somewhere before, maybe it was one Etsy. It is so cute and your neighbor will be head over heals when you finish it and give it to her, as people are so attached to their animals. A perfect gift. Nice job on it too.

I love it! Now all I have to do is find someone who has a pug. They keep getting stolen here in the People's Republic.

Very cute project. I'm sure your neighbor will love it.

So an embarrassing update, I glued the head on upside down.  I kept looking at it thinking it doesn't look the same, almost like a bull dog instead of a pug. It didn't dawn on me until I started to fit the ears, which I have not done yet. But wait, there's more, when cutting the pattern I cut the tail separate from the butt body and now I am having trouble connecting it, and lastly (I think), I glued the head to the butt portion (ha ha not just upside down). There is a difference between the front and back and I did it backwards.  Good Lord!!  All I can think is that perhaps I should not have been listening to a thriller audio book while assembling.  Obviously I can't do both at the same time.  

So frustrated....

I really noticed all that but didn't want to say anything to embarrass you    This what they mean about don't point out your mistakes, not many notice.  I would install the tail using a short piece of dowel to glue it on.  The head, I cannot imagine anyone notice it.

I listen to audio books while cutting, and have been known to attach one or two backwards.  Usually isn't a problem unless there's text involved.  The "S" on Superman's chest kinda stands out if backwards.  Oops.

Nice to know it's not just me that does stuff like this JessL

Clever idea with the dowel.  I think I'll try that.  Oh, and you wouldn't have embarrassed me, I did that myself pretty good. Let some unsavory words fly in the process.  I'm here to learn so I'll take any critiques.

Hi Gene:
Your comment is right - It is unique
From what I heard and read, It's "ass backwards"
