Clover's Corn Sweater

A new snuggly sweater for my chilly little mutt. She's appreciative enjoying the fruits of my labor as it's in the 20's outside and everything is icy. I found this super-soft yarn made with a cotton/corn blend that I love so much I might add it to a section of the afghan I'm making this year. Will post more on that later. The last sweater I made for her was a little bulky and my first attempt at a dog-sized frock. This one I'm proud of. It didn't take me long and the stitches were really even, not to mention it fits her very well!


As far as detail, there's a little shell edging along the bottom of it but other than that it's fairly plain. I'm getting more comfortable with little design elements so I look forward to creating more unique details.

Babber's Bonnet

It's been quite chilly here in beautiful Seattle, so much so that we're snowed in at the moment. in celebration of the icy weather I've made a snug little head warmer for my tiny companion. I know I know, tormented she may look but I assure you she appreciates this sucker while out in the brisk northwestern air.

Happy 5th Birthday Clover!

Mount Rainier

Wow, it's been awhile! A few weeks ago we went on a day trip to Rainier and I FINALLY edited the pictures this evening. Check em out if you've got a thing for huge mountains, pretty parks or like really REALLY cute dogs ;)

Clover Training

Clover has had a leash pulling problem and we're trying a no pull harness on her. So far we've had to trade it in for a smaller size and we're still not sure if it's going to be effective but may be worth a shot. It looks so uncomfortable to wear but this happy dog doesn't seem to mind one bit <3

Dog Dress

Another project from this week. Burnt orange & cream colored knit dress. Made with organic cotton so it's super soft on Clover's sensitive skin <3

Emma Collar

Custom made dog collar for a sweet Emma pup who's Mom happens to be a classmate of mine from photo school a few years ago. She wanted a pretty pink bow collar her sweet girl could wear all the time. It even has a polka dot button to keep it snugly on!

My Little Hatter

Yes, I made her another hat. She just looks SO cute in a tiny top hat!!!

My Little Nomlet

Had a very relaxing Sunday: napped on and off until late afternoon then had the best cheesy enchilada Seattle has to offer. Picked up some doggy treats, poo bags and a much needed comb because Clover's fur seems to think spring is the perfect time to clog the corners of every room. We went to Carkeek Park to see if the sunset was watchable but ended up with a cloudy light drop. Going to the beach with Jon, despite what nature feels like doing, is always worth it. I love living this close to such gorgeous coastal scenery. Upon arriving home our little nomlet was in high gear so we wrestled with her and a favorite pig part until she passed out. More pics on my Flickr if you want to see the ultimate in Boston adorableness!

Bathtime

Clover's favorite time...can't you tell?

Handfull of Pockets

One last time with all of them :D

Etsy Store Opening

Well, the day I've been working for all week/weekend is finally here! My Etsy store is up and running with all of my Tags Pockets for sale. You can click on the title of this post to visit my store or follow this Etsy link! I'd love feedback and to hear what everyone thinks of my Tags Pockets. Thanks for looking!!

Pockets Ready

Spent today making more tags pockets and product photos for Etsy. Should be up by tomorrow so I'm excited! Clover posed for some more pictures and I thought this one would bring on the smiles.

Tags Pocket

While shopping at our favorite pet store, Mud Bay, we wanted to get something that would hush the tags on Clover's collar. After looking through a few products I discovered that most were little velcro closure pockets. We would have just bought one but they were expensive, some were almost 10 bucks!

Well, this morning I crocheted one for her and I think it's MUCH cuter than anything we could have bought in the store.

Steampunk Hat

A slow morning after a fun weekend. I spent Saturday afternoon with the high priestess of steampunk, Cherie Priest, and her hubby(the roastmaster). Her new book BONESHAKER is a hit among steampunk lovers and anyone that appreciates a good story. With such fun inspiration, today I've created a tiny steampunkish hat that happens to fit Clover perfectly. I must admit that this was a luck shot as she kept bucking it off her tiny dog head at every opportunity.
