Dog Camp Blankets

  • by

My dogs get all the good stuff. I was gifted some baby-blanket fabric and decided to use it all in one go making two new sleepover blankets for the dogs. They will also make nice sturdy camp blankets for them. Our boarding facilities call it “sleepovers” now so us humans… Read More »Dog Camp Blankets

K-9 Obstacles

  • by

Jake has been very slowly working on an obstacle course for the dogs. While progress has stalled on the ramp, two weeks ago during a dedicated home-improvement weekend, he finished the hurdles. Made from PVC with adjustable cradles, the bars come off very easily if a dog were to bump them… Read More »K-9 Obstacles

Purgatory Chasm

  • by

Happy Winter Solstice. The changing of the year is a wonderful time for reflection. Especially useful in this prolonged time of great uncertainty, change, and fear. I’ve been reading a lot more than I’ve been making, and that’s been a part of my personal reflection. Spending time with topics that… Read More »Purgatory Chasm

A Stocking for Nimbus

Welcome to the family, Nimbus, who just turned six months old. His first Christmas approaching, I sewed him a stocking to match the rest of the family from scraps leftover from two years past. He’s been with us since August, but with every monogramed accessory or matching training aid, it… Read More »A Stocking for Nimbus

Christmas Quilted Bone Pillow

  • by

My dog seriously loves pillows. We let her use the human couch pillows, but she is very aware of what things are specifically hers and which things are shared. She loves her beds and pillows and looks so cute using them. After sewing Tovi a new Christmas coat from fleece, I… Read More »Christmas Quilted Bone Pillow

Christmas Coat for the Dog

  • by

I made Tovi a new winter coat for the holidays and she is being very dramatic about trying it on for the first time; how dare I make her something long and warm, especially with a high collar to keep the wind off her neck! I’m still working my way… Read More »Christmas Coat for the Dog

Yuletide Doggie Bandanas

  • by

After completing my latest quilted hearth stockings project, I still had quite a few quilting strips leftover and a strong urge to continue quilting them together. With gifting-time fast approaching, I decided that my quilting strips would make great doggie bandanas for Tovi and some of her closest friends. Tovi… Read More »Yuletide Doggie Bandanas

Collar Sliders

  • by

My female dog has a beard and a mustache, so naturally she is constantly being misgendered. Not that I think she minds, but maybe some pretty bows will help? Buying pre-made collar sliders online is expensive. And they are so small, and use so little fabric! I’m pressed for time… Read More »Collar Sliders

Cardinal Dog Costume

  • by

I thought the dog already had a new costume for Halloween this year? Yes. She does. But this idea is just so cute. Give the people what they want. What they want is more dog photos in costume. Earlier this season I sewed Tovi, our almost-two-year-old Belgian Malinois mix a… Read More »Cardinal Dog Costume

Tovi

  • by

World, meet Tovi. Our beautiful Belgian Malinois, German Sheppard, Chow-Chow, mix puppy. Mixed with what else? Sight-hound, Sporting, Companion, Terrier, and Asian genetic groups. A real mutt! Tovi has changed my life because now my life revolves around her—or at least it has for the past thee-and-a-half months. Finally she… Read More »Tovi
