Last year I had the privilege to make a custom doctors coat for a Yorkie named Rocky. Everyday Rocky goes to work with his owner who happens to be a doctor. While at work Rocky gets to wear his name badge around his collar but what Rocky really needed was a lab coat like his owner wears.

To surprise Rocky’s owner with a custom made lab coat her friend set out on a hunt for someone to create this one of a kind lab coat for Rocky. Through several failed attempts in getting someone to make a custom made lab coat she finally found my web-site and sent me a photo of what she was looking for.

Instantly I knew I could make this lab coat and was able to get started right away. Though challenging, making this custom lab coat for Rocky was a lot of fun. Creating a pattern for custom made items is not always easy or possible. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to make this for Dr. Rocky. Now while at work every day he will certainly fit right in.

Christmas tree decorating, critter Christmas tree, owl Christmas tree, squirrel Christmas tree, woodland Christmas tree

As some of you may already know sewing is my life’s dream. But my second passion is decorating especially for the holidays. At Christmas I usually put up eight to ten Christmas trees. One for every room each tree having its own theme. Some of the trees I do the same every year and the other trees change like the weather.

Sometimes I see one thing and my mind starts spinning with endless possibilities.

Whether I see a something online or just as simple nick nack I think of the endless possibilities of that item being an ornament for my tree.
This year my mind went crazy when I found a few soft fuzzy owl ornaments and a straw squirrel decoration at a local store.

The hunt was on after that for anything and everything that could go on my “Woodland Tree”. It did not take long to fill my tree with everything from cattails and berries to porcupines and other woodland critters.

I very rarely look in the Christmas decoration department when I am hunting for ideas. And I always find it best to look in the most off the wall shops if I am looking at their ornaments.

I used the mesh for the first time in a few of my trees this year and what a difference the mesh makes. Adds a much different look than the ribbon I typically use.
