2025 Mini Border Collie Rugs

pet portrait, rug tufting / / / , ,

Continuing my prep for the Spring Capital Art Sale, I’ve made these two mini versions of my latest border collie rug. This design is based on my smooth coated border collie, Nonoha, which is why they’re not drawn super fluffy. I’ve seen a lot of smooth border collies around Fredericton, so I’m hopeful these rugs will find some border collie fans!

Border collie people: Do you prefer classic black and white or red and white coats? My husband loves the reds, but I have a soft spot for the classic black look. It’s just so dignified! (totally unlike the dogs themselves)

Mini Kitty Rugs

Here are some new kitten rugs! This is my first time tufting out this design, and I’m pleased with how it turned out. Tabby cats are my favourite to create, and I’m glad others seem to like them the best, too. There’s just something so charming about stripes.

I’ve made these two little kitties for the Capital Art Sale starting May 8th. I know money is tight for so many right now, so I’m trying to focus on making lower-priced goodies. Everyone deserves something colourful and fun to bring them joy!

New Sticker Design – Rainbow Unicorn Pony

It’s time for a new sticker! I got this idea for an extra bean-shaped pony stuck in my head and had to paint it. Then I was thinking, “You know what’s more ridiculous than a fat little pony? A fat little pony unicorn!” And here we are.

I aaaalmost went with a white coat to push the unicorn aspect, but then I got the idea of adding pants and couldn’t stop myself. Idk what it is about painting ridiculous things that’s somehow extra fun, but I’m glad I’m able to indulge it sometimes haha!

You can grab one of these cuties here at my shop.

Memorial Portrait – Rocky the Boxer

This is a memorial piece for a very special boy, Rocky.

Rocky was Maulkin’s first friend who taught him how to camp, swim, and respect other dogs’ toys (but only if the other dog gets there first. He’s not a miracle worker, alas.). He was a good-natured boy full of humour and boxer sass, and he’s very dearly missed

New Sticker – Chickadee!

Here’s another new sticker I actually painted a little while ago during the first snow of the season. I just love watching the chickadees flit around the trees foraging in the winter. Even though they’re out all year, they feel like such a winter kind of bird, and I have them strongly associated with snow.

This little one has been foraging to grow even fatter and rounder! Adorable!

New Dino Sticker – Ichthyotitan

Now in my shop: Please enjoy the world’s happiest ichthyotitan! Why is she so happy? Idk maybe she just ate a whale.

Ichthyosaurs are some of my favourite prehistoric friends, and ichthyotitans are just xl ichthyosaurs. Instant fav! I decided to give this one spots like a leopard shark, because I thought it would be really cute despite being pretty unlikely on an apex predator. ~fashion~

Surprise! It’s another patch!

This is legit my last patch for a long while, but I just could not make a patch of Scuzzy without also making one of Sparc. Sparc is the world’s most happy, confident cat; and he wants to remind everyone to share their own spark with the world!

These patches have some metallic embellishments which make them extra fun.

You can get your own Sparkle patch here.
