Cowboy Dog

Some treasures are being uncovered as I clean out the attic. I found this awesome 80/90’s cowboy fabric and figured it was time to make a cowboy dog. Then I uncovered a box of leather pieces and the plan came together.

I yearned for a fringed vest or jacket as a teen. I thought they were SO cool 🤣

He has a snack in his bag.

The cowboy hat was what I was most worried about but I’m very happy with how it turned out.

He has “surprised” ears!

A Lady Gardening Dog

She has a sunhat, a gardening apron, and a basket of flowers. Also, a soft cashmere sweater and a garden journal.

I’m having fun with the hats again. I wanted a better way to keep them on the doggie heads and I figured out I can Make a loop around the ears. More hats ahead!

She has a flowery Liberty lawn shirt. Her basket is filled with little (cloth) flowers, mostly from vintage hats.

Inspired by Jasper

This is Jasper and he has been inspiring all these black kitties.

He is such a sweetheart. He is very attached to me so I call him my familiar 🧙‍♀️!

Here is an artsy looking black cat- I am sure this outfit would look amazing on Jasper.

Lots of bright colors on this fellow.

Black Cat, Liberty Dress

Just like it is really hard to photograph a black cat, the same is true for a black kitty doll!

She has some 3-hole antique buttons on her cardigan.

I bought this Liberty lawn fabric at the beginning of the pandemic when everything shut down- doing some retail therapy. I’m not sorry 😆 It is hard to see but the dress has a tie in the back. Also, a sweet lacy edge on the neck and the hem.
