I have always lived by the saying “do what you love and love what you do”. As you all very well know I love sewing and creating things. And of course I love my yorkies. I have been creating a lot of outfits for them lately and I love doing it. It’s not that I don’t enjoy making handbags, I do, I just get so much more variety out of making clothes for my little ones. I can switch it, change it up a bit and thats exactly what I did. I have no doubt that adding variety into what I am working on will inspire my creative with my handbags and anything else I work, or so I hope.

I have been making little doggie “fashionista” clothes for a local boutique and have really enjoyed it. I decided to do something a little extra. In a few days my new website should be up. I named it

Lillitique

“A little fashion for little paws”

It’s all pink and very girly. Yes I make clothes for the boys too but I have always wanted a very girly, adorable boutique. So yes I did, I chose cupcakes as part of the design.

I can’t wait to show you all what I have been working on.

Have a wonderful day!

I have many addictions. Most of them come in the form of chocolate, yorkies, sewing, my favorite tv shows, books and of course magazines. I love looking through the pictures of Martha Stewart, Romantic Homes, and Real Simple. So when I was supposed to run to the grocery store for just a few items I knew it wouldn’t hurt to run down the magazine aisle for a nano second. Wooohooo I got the newest edition of Romantic Homes.

I just love looking at all the beautiful pictures. One of my favorite things is how they take a piece of furniture that someone would probably throw away because it is not very appealing and they put it as the center piece of the room.

Adding a rug and throw pillows etc etc it makes the room look elegantly shabby chic. I love it! Makes me wish it was summer so I could go garage saleing!  I think magazines like this has totally enabled me to continue my craigslist addiction.

Happy Sunday! Hope you are all relaxing! I am off to run some errands and then going to relax and watch some movies.

Last night I stayed up into the weeeee hours of the morning working on my little dog clothes. I don’t know what it is, actually I do. It’s Murphy’s law. It has to be. The later it gets, the more I want to get the project done and the more I forget or I mess things up so it ends up taking twice as long. I know valentines day is just around the corner and I really want to get some outfits done in time for that. I have some adorable yards of fabric that I just can’t wait to work with. With all the excitement I was even  more thrilled to have one of them completed at 2am this morning, I woke my oldest yorkie up so excited to try it on her…. yep didn’t work too well. Either my pattern shrunk or she has gained some weight I was laying her on her back, telling her to suck it in, tugging on the straps. Finally I gave up and went to bed. This morning I figured I could try it on her to try and get a photo…. before she eats breakfast and WAALLAA! It fit, ok barely but she didn’t have to move anywhere, or ok so she couldn’t move anywhere hahahah.

I suppose I need to adjust my pattern for her, so this will now be a puppy size. I put rhinestones on the colar and a felted hearts on the back. It is so adorable I can’t wait to make more.

She was such a good model, she just laid down and let me take my pictures. She is such a sweetie.

Well I am off to my nephews 1st birthday party  and then back home to work in the studio.

Have a wonderful day!

I have a new addition to my family this new year. As many of you know I have two little yorkies, Lily who is 6 and Loki who is 2. They are 100% my children. They are my two little princesses. Well on January 20th I am getting a new addition. I am so excited…

I have named her Bentley and I cannot wait to snuggle with her! I wonder what my two girls are going to do? They are not very good at sharing. I am assuming there will be lots of treats and extra nights of sleeping with mom to make them not so jealous.

I am working on some tiny little outfits for her. She is barely over a pound right now and will only be about 3 full grown. Yes I know, I am making an outfit to bring her home in. What can I say… I love my little babies

Have a wonderful day
