Art Dogs: 100 Post Cards

Happy Monday everyone!

R-Chee & I are soooo excited and honored to be included in this just released ~ beautiful boxed set of Art Dogs: 100 Post Cards!

The publishers of Robynne Raye's 1000 Dog Portraits in which I had 8 of my dog portraits published earlier this year chose to include 2 of my paintings in this 100 Post Card set that is now available on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.

Here are the 8 paintings, collages, yarn paintings and drawings from the book.

...and here are the post cards:

My Boston Terrier & Beagle paintings!

The box set is bound in an exceptional way with a beautiful silk ribbon to gently lift out the artfully printed cards.

The cards are produced on THICK , high quality cards and richly reproduced in vibrant and true colors.

They are so beautiful and would look lovely mounted, framed or floating in the mail with your thoughts, wishes & heart-felt hellos to all of your friends whenever you want to drop someone a note.

I am honored to have my painting included in both of these projects that honor the most special creatures... our DOGS! :)

R-Chee heartily conquers with my feelings on this subject!

and sends you all huge hugs and kisses today!

Thankful Thursday ~ Woofie Warmer Hugs!

Happy Thursday everyone!

~ Thankful Thursday ~ 

I am so thankful for wonderful friends and all that you share with me!  Oscar and Ollie told me today that they LOVE their woofie warmers!

Thank you Oscar, Ollie and their fabulous mom, Jaime B., from Louisiana! 

You 3 made my whole week! :)

Many customers over the years have asked for a crocheted warming hug for their doggies that do not wear hats and sweaters & for larger canine family members that do not quite fit in the 36 lb weight limit of the Dog Sweater Vests.

I custom make each Woofie Warmer for you to order!

Woofie Warmer Dog Neck Warmers are comfy and warm for dogs of ALL sizes!

When ordering your Woofie Warmer, I just need to know your dog's ...

Breed

Weight

Neck Size

to know what size to custom make for you.

 

And...

Just like the Dog Sweater Vests and Barkclava Dog Hats ~

 

You get to choose the 3 colors for the ...

Collar / Trim / Bobbles

 

If you would like Archie and I to make you your very own Woofie Warmer, please feel free to visit the Woofie Warmer Gallery ~ http://www.woofiewarmer.com/ ~ for inspiration and my Etsy Shop to order!

Please also feel free to contact me anytime with any questions!

R-Chee & I love all of the color combinations she has custom ordered over the years!

R-Chee is hard at work today dreaming up new color combinations for the bodies, collars and bobbles for you to enjoy!

Thank you so much for sharing your joy with us!

We love you and love making your Sweater Vests for you!

Friday Funnies ~ Teddy Won't take "Gnome" for an Answer!

Happy Friday everyone!

It is me...

Teddy!

I am Archie's Corgi Cousin and he invited me to tell you all about my adventures today!

I have been busy today thinking outside of the box!

I love playing outside and going for walks, but since I am still a puppy, I have mostly only ever done this on a leash!

I am getting to be a big boy corgi now and so I think I will be brave and go exploring in my backyard on my own today!

I am a mountain corgi and have a great big backyard with lots of wildlife to explore!

My mom and dad do not call me their "Teddy Bear Cub" for nothing!

Let's Go!

Oooo!

Guess what I found?

A cave!

It is not a big cave mind you but a little cave made by big boulders!

The entrance is magical... 

It is covered with green moss and brown leaves from the forest and inside the cave are little gnomes!

I one brought gently in my mouth to show you ...

Pleh...

Ta Da!

Here he is!

Isn't he cool?

He is magical!

Maybe he will grant us 3 wishes!

Please leave me a note of what we should wish for!

Yipppeee!

What a great adventure we had this afternoon!

Now we can spend the weekend creating our wildest dreams together and share them with the world!

Thank you for playing with me!
