Saffy's new collar

Well, our "foster dog" featured in my last post has become our dog. And our cat, Milly, has been the epitome of grace and has accepted her.

I thought I'd take a moment to share my recent Etsy purchase with you. It's a dog collar, and I must say it is probably the most beautiful collar I've ever seen. And it's so soft that I'm certain it's comfortable for the dog too. Devonhill makes some amazing pet accessories.

I haven't even had a chance to "plushify" our dog, Saffy, yet; so I think re-stocking the shop may still be a little way off. But I have had a few enquiries lately, so there's a chance I might get a few plushies in the shop before Christmas; fingers crossed.

Doggie coat

Sorry it has been a while. Things have been extremely hectic over here. But I thought I'd take a minute to show you a recent creation of mine: a doggie coat!

In the photo above, our foster dog is sporting none other than my very first dog coat. Of course, being on the property, it was covered in mud straight away. But it seemed to do the job. It is winter over here, and it does get quite cold on our block of land.

I made the coat from materials I had at home already. The outside is made from an old wool bale; the inside is lined with fleece, the tie-strings came from a set of towels I bought (they were just used to hold the towels together), and I had elastic strips left over from a previous project.

I don't know how waterproof it is, but the aim is to help keep rain off her, and provide an extra layer of warmth, which I think it does.

Moving madness

Yes, I am still alive.

I've been moving house, hence the long absence! I fully intended on re-stocking the shop before I moved, but, as you know, these things don't get done some times.

The house isn't set-up fully yet, so I don't think the shop will see any new kitty faces for a little while yet.

But thank you to anyone who has taken the time to read this and check in on my blog. Hope you've all been well.
