Customer Photo Gallery ~ Barkclava Cuties!


Hi everyone!

I am so excited to show you these new fabulous photos Archie and I just received of our new friends, Annie and Madame, modeling their new Very Berry Barkclavas with matching Sweater Vests!



Look how cute Annie the Dachshund and her sister, Madame the Chihuahua are!

They are natural models!

Doesn't Madame look right off of the Vogue Runway in Paris? :)



She is showing us all of the angels of her ensemble!


They are just too cute for words!



Their mom Gaye is the very special person who created Melanie's new little parrotlet, Ollie!



Ollie is the most special parrotlet and a cherished member of Melanie and Mark's family!


In addition to being a wonderful Parrotlet Breeder, Gaye is a very talented artist.


She creates gorgeous handmade wood works of art and sells them on her Sirwood website and in her Etsy Shop.


She also has a blog where she shares her animals with us!


Gaye is owned by many kinds of 2 and 4 footed creatures.

She has a Great Dane, Dachshund and Chihuahua that she rescued as well as all sizes of beautiful parrots in her family!



I am so honored and excited that she loves the new Barkclavas and Sweater Vests!



Please let me know if you would like me to make you a Barkclava Dog Hat and/or Sweater Vest too.


You can see all the possibilities anytime in The Sweater Vest Gallery at http://www.dogsweatervests.com


and The Barkclava Gallery at http://www.barkclava.com.


I am happy to make any color combos you would like and set up a special listing for you in my Etsy Shop.

Sweater Vest Gallery ~ Meet Libby & Mitzu



Hi everyone!


I am so excited to show you the new photos Lauren M. from TX just shared with me of her mom's puggy Libby and her puggy Mitzu in their sweater vests!



You might remember this fabulous photo that Lauren took last year of Libby feeling a bit deflated after not getting her very own vest when Mitzu opened her Forget-Me-Not Sweater Vest.


Tee Hee!


Well as you can see from the first photo on this post that Libby just opened her new Cheesie Weenie Sweater Vest!

Lauren said she was so happy and comfy in it that she kept it on inside all day and took a nap in it!





Mitzu put hers on too and they snored together all afternoon!


I love receiving all of your photos and stories!


Thank you so much for always sharing with me and Archie!


You all make our world a very Fun place to be!

Thankful Tuesday ~ Archie's Turkey Leg Giveaway!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!


Thank you all for playing with me last week in my Gourd Giveaway!


It was so much fun!

Our new friends Linda and Gladys are so excited to get their fiber filled gourd and will share photos with us soon!


There is more Thankgiving FUN to be had over here!


I am so excited to announce my Turkey Leg Giveaway!





My momma is laughing at how grumpy I look in this photo!


I told her it was because a turkey has TWO legs and I wanted her to make me one too.


*Pug foot stomping on floor*


She said not to worry, that mine was on the way too and that I was a funny pug baby and probably just needed a nap!


Ha!


Please just leave a comment on this post and you will be entered to win!


I will enter all the names into www.randomizer.org and announce the winner this Thursday, November 10th!


I guess I will just take a nap then with the ONE turkey leg and see if mine appears before Thursday when I get to send it off to a lucky winner!


... and I am not being crabby or grumpy Momma!


ZZZZZZZ

Crochet Corgi ~ Moe with Extra Fiber :)

Happy Monday everyone!


It is me...


Moe!

I am so excited because my aunty Melissy made a crochet, fiber-filled, likeness of me!


She gave it to Aunty Melanie for their birthday last month. :)


Ta Da!


Isn't he cute?



She made him from this fun pattern written by NannyPatCrochet that she purchased on Etsy.


He is so soft and rich looking because she used her favorite baby alpaca yarn from Lion Brand!



We are indentical twins just like my mom, Melanie and Aunty Melissa are!

He even has a white spot on the back of his ear like me!

and he is very adventurous just like me and is ready to play with all of us!

Friday Funnies ~ The Jelly Bean Twins

Happy Friday everyone!

It is me...

Archie!


I have a question for all of you...

Do you think your pawrents are beginning to look like you?


My momma looked at me in the Jelly Beans Sweater Vest she just made for me and her eyes twinkled, she ran upstairs, ran back downstairs and was wearing her very own Jelly Beans Sweater that she made a couple of years ago!


I could not believe it!



I am not sure how I feel about this!



Do we look silly?


or cute?


I know I am cute, but she may look silly! :)


Either way, we sure are having fun over here! :)





What fun things do you have planned this weekend?


Please leave us a note and let us know!


Oh! ... and don't forget! :)


If your part of the world is on daylight savings, it changes again this Saturday Night.


Set your clocks back 1 hour and on Sunday you will get that extra hour to get more fun things squeezed into your day!
