And they called it, puppy love...

A recent community poll
showed dog lovers in the Inner West
spend more on their pets than their partners.

While the poor partner only got a beanie,
guess what Baxter got?

All that glorious stitching and watercolors...

The catchy "doggerel" on the canvas..

Yes,
Like Lola the Chihuahua above,
Mimilove has captured the hound on canvas.

I love her sassy rhymes.
She takes his canine peccadilloes
and creates an ode:



Mongrel Dog! Houndy Woundy!
Eats treats from the street
And stuff that he's found...y
He growls, he snores, he barks, he farts
And most of all he is lion heart!

Mimi is not afraid to stitch straight onto canvas,
something I view with trepidation.
One wrong stitch and it's a hole forever.

She is also not afraid to charge for a comission,
Something else I admire.

She does not under price herself,
and the detail is tremendous.

I asked for a Waratah, New South Wales' flower
and also a symbol of spiritual strength when times are tough,
and she rendered it beautifully, squeezed in his favourite penguin,
and included a guerilla knit as well.

MimiLove says she is one woman,
a needle, a paintbrush,
a disturbing music back catalogue in her brain
and too much time on her hands.
