So tomorrow is my sister's birthday and she's had a rough year so I thought I'd so something really special for her. I made her a charm bracelet that features all of her six children, three of the human kind and three furry ones. I made three dog beads for each of her dogs and since I'm not very good at making humans out of polymer clay I only did one bead of her son in polymer clay because he's easily identifiable, for the other sons I did something different -- and I figure it is a charm bracelet so the more varying types of charms the better. Here's the bracelet with a short explanation:

Close up, I'll explain the main charms I made. The first charm from the left depicts her son, he was easy to do in polymer clay because he always has his hair pushed forward and in his eyes -- this must be something new, I'm not sure if it's only around our neighborhood or not, but it seems to be the hairstyle for the boys. The second one I made is her dog Edie, she's her oldest dog, a wonderful Golden Retriever. The third is a heart with her son's name on it, Mike. The fourth is her other dog, Payton named after Walter Payton (actually her son brought this dog home) which was a surprise to her, but she fell in love and kept him (kids). He is a Sheltie/Akita mix or at least that's what they told him he was :)

I need to take some lessons from this dog, he/she really knows how to salsa. This is just too cute! If it t plays too slowly you can also find it here on their website.

So this is Spud, Spuddy, the Spudmeister, Spudders, he has many names. This is my sister's dog, the one my nephews are always saying is way cuter than my Lena. Okay, okay, so he's pretty darn cute and he can really work you for a piece of pizza -- but he lays down funny, look at his legs. In our family we call this the bear rug, but I've also heard it called frog legs, do you have a dog that lays like this and what do you call it?
