Bow-tie Model by day...

Super hero by night.

Yesterday I went to the pet store for one thing; to pick up a new bed for the pups.  As I am walking to the back of the store, I couldn't help but stop and take a look at all the Martha Stewart pet items at Petsmart.  As I turn the corner of the fixture, I see the most awesome pup clothing I have ever seen.  Super hero t-shirts!  I love buying things for the pups, but especially things I can put on Stan Man to dress him up.  And yes, he loves it.  Don't let him tell you any differently.

Wordless Wednesday: Modeling

Stanlee proved yet again that he is a perfect model for my bow-ties.

Tuesday Tutorial - Dog Hammock Seat Cover

This past year, Justin purchased a black heavy cloth hammock style seat covering to use in our cars to keep the dogs off of the seats and the hair collected in one area.  The hammock was a great idea, but there are some changes I would make if purchasing one again.  {One thing, I would never buy a black one when you have a white dog} 

I came across this tutorial on how to make one yourself, and think this would be perfect for people wanting to test this hammock style seat covering in their own car.

The great thing about this tutorial; you can custom fit it to your backseat and it is machine washable.  *Also, fleece is crazy cheap right now with Christmas sales.

Surprise your pups with a stylish soft seat covering for Christmas ;)
Happy Handmade Holidays!

Halloween Photos

One of the things I love about November 1 is looking through all the fun pictures friends and family post online of their families dressed up in their Halloween costumes.  Justin and I do not have any kids, so we like to dress up our pups instead :)  I did not buy Stan and Miley new costumes and thought they could probably just wear last years outfits.

Well, this was good and bad.  Miley has lost a few pounds (so proud of her) and her rooster costume did not fit her this year.  On the positive side, If you dressed up as a farm animal at Chipotle yesterday, you got your burrito for only $2!  Thank you Miley for letting me borrow your costume.  Who knew we wore the same size?!  {-wink)

Instead of having a lobster and a rooster this Halloween as planned, Miley dressed in Stanlee's lobster costume and Stanlee wore his new sweater and handmade bow tie collar.  They were the cutest pups on the block!

Hope you had a great Halloween!  Now it's time to prepare for Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Does my collar make me look fierce?

When Miley was a baby {I mean puppy} she was constantly going to the vet for allergy issues.  Mostly, it was a skin allergy of some type.  The vet suggested a leather or metal collar for her to try and clear the horrible bumps she was getting on her neck.  So we made the switch from a polyester braided collar to a leather collar.  But a plain leather collar isn't much fun, so we opted for a bright pink, metal studded collar.  Two and a half years later, she I still love it :)

Bling. Bling.
