Craft Attempt numero...oh hell I've lost count

So I disassembled the previous craft attempt and went in a completely different direction.  I found an old frame at my mom's house and that sparked this idea:

I painted the mat inside gold, then used antiquing paint to dull down the brightness of the gold.  Then I laid the fabric out in the pattern I wanted, taped them to the mat, and inserted into the frame.  And voila!  Instant wall art.  I'm really happy with the way it came out this time.

This is my favorite piece of fabric:

Last week we also welcomed a new addition into our home.  Meet Bentley:

Bentley is a 2 month old miniature dachshund.  We love him already.  However, Rasta is having a little bit of trouble adjusting to being a big brother, but I'm sure he'll get the hang of it :)
