The Dog House Opens!

Today was the grand opening of The Dog House, the cooperative of dog-related business here in Lawrence, KS. It was pretty good day, and I sold a few of the MANY collars I sewed in preparation for the opening! I also got some custom orders that I will need to work on. We're hoping word of mouth will help spread the word about this endeavor, and I can hopefully make up what I have put into getting this started. Here's a picture of my setup in the Dog House.

Georgia and Daisy in their new collars

Georgia and Daisy are two beautiful IGs that are repeat customers here at Daisy's Diva Designs. Georgia is the first to model Tye Dye Peace and Daisy is the first to model Tiny Butterflies. We are proud to have these beautiful girls wearing our collars!

The Winners!!

For the past 4 years, my husband Chris and I have participated in the Mutt n Strut, an annual fundraising walk that raises money for the Lawrence Humane Society. Although none of our dogs are from the LHS, I think it is a wonderful facility and they have been great to work with when transferring Italian Greyhounds into our rescue. They always have fun contests at the Mutt n Strut, one of which is a costume contest and this year we won for the third time! It all started with a clearance witch hat from a pet store that planted the idea of a Wizard of Oz theme in my head. Here is what happened when I got my creative juices flowing! Molly is Dorothy, Mari is the Wicked Witch, and Daisy is Glinda the good witch. :)

Update!

I can't believe it's been so long since I've updated! Not that I've had a whole to report, however. Things have been slow but are about to pick up in a big way. I am in the process of joining a new co-op here in Lawrence where I will get to sell my collars once a week with other vendors who make products or provide services for dogs. I was lucky enough to be told about this opportunity through the wonderful Jen and Nick of Dignified Doggies, who helped us immensely through private dog-training sessions. I usually only make collars at the time they are ordered, so I will have to get busy to have some samples ready to sell by May 22nd, the grand opening of the co-op. I will show some of my samples and let you all know how it goes!!

Fun with flannel

I recently acquired some awesome flannel fabrics to add to my collection. I also added several new designs to my fabric selection. Hope you all like them!

Spring Break!

I'm taking some time off for Spring Break and the sewing machine is going in for a yearly cleaning. You can email me, but I won't be working on any orders until March 22nd. Thanks and happy Spring!

Check out the new fabrics!

I had several custom orders recently, and have added several team fabrics to the website. Check them out or ask about getting a collar made to support your favorite teams!
