I will be opening a new shop, QueenBeeHandmade in July! I am pretty excited to get it rolling and hope to have several bags and maybe a few other things listed sometime after the 4th of July.Here is a teaser photo of what is to come. I have changed the handle on the take-out bag and the clutch still needs a pin on the front, but you get the idea!

I will be at First Friday in Vernonia, OR this weekend showing off my dog collars and hopefully selling a few. You can find me in the Scout Cabin in downtown Vernonia.Here is the new DogGoneKnitting display booth. I didn't have my astroturf table cover yet (Patrick is working on that), but isn't it cute? When I am at the show I will sort through the collars so only 1 of each kind is hung up...

I love spring in Oregon. When I was growing up in Michigan spring meant a few weeks where everything was brown and muddy and then it was summer. Here spring starts in March and lasts until late June. The air literally smells like flowers. I would never roll my windows down in Michigan. Mostly this was because it would mess my hair up. But out here it is so worth having messy hair because it just

I have been busily working on some new custom dog collars that are now available in the DogGoneKnitting shop on etsy. This sort of "punk" collar Annabelle is sporting is really cute. There is also a mellow brown and green collar style.I am also offering to design other collars using the fabrics you already see in my shop. If you see something you like and want it customized just send me a convo.

Well, we've recently had a bit of excitement in our house. Patrick was featured in a big article in the West Linn Tidings! It took up the whole first page of the Neighbors section!As some of you may know, Patrick works for Tanner Spring Assisted Living here in West Linn. He is the Activities Director there. He is so good at what he does, both because he really cares for the people and just

This cute package will be going out to a sweetie pie named Maggie tomorrow. I can't hardly wait for them to get it. Doesn't it look so, so cute?Well, the dogs are howling madly at some unknown thing and I gotta go!:)

There is just something comical about dogs tilting their head at us when we talk. This one has 3 pugs so it is triple cute.

I am really tired today and not up for much so Annabelle and I have been cruising the dog videos on youtube. Annabelle loves watching them and whines when I navigate away. This is pretty funny in and of itself. Anyhow, we found this cute little jem to share with you all.Annabelle fell in the toilet once. Now she always checks to make sure the seat is down! I still don't understand why this pug

I know that as this is listed as "Heart Attack Sandwich" that means it is really bad for you... but man, I really want one.Heart Attack Sandwich from http://goodfoodonkcrw.vox.com/The original came from This is why you are fat. After looking through the photos I am clearly not getting the message. I am just really hungry. I so want a deep fried smore.

My friend Molly Lee (who makes terrific pop-up and mechanical cards) went out and got us both these Ikea lights and hampers to make a light tent for photography. It is really going to help me take better pictures when natural light isn't available. Here in the Pacific Northwest that is pretty much all the time.I have modified my version from the instructions Molly collected by putting tissue

I had a fabulous Sunday this weekend. EXHAUSTING, but totally great. My friend Kathy and I met up at 10:30 to grab some coffee and wait in the huge crowd that always seems to be standing outside the Screen Door restaurant on Burnside in Portland. I took some pictures... but I only remembered that I wanted to after we started. We were very hungry!Kathy had this catface sandwich thing (above). I

Well the collars are posted. 8 dog collars and 3 leashes. Of course, all collars can also have a matching leash. My favorite is the cupcake collar. Love, love, love the cupcakes. Shouldn't all dogs have cupcakes? I think so.

I just went out and put my Etsy shop information on Facebook yesterday. Now all my friends can go out and become a fan of Dog Gone Knitting's Etsy shop on Facebook! This is so great!I also received all my buckles and webbing so last night I whipped up some collars and leashes (really tired today). I am really excited about the different combos I have come up with. There are several more I have

I wanted to let everyone know officially that I've decided to give up on the baby stuff. With all the new rules that may or may not get passed I just felt it was better for me to do something else. So as soon as what I have for baby listings are sold they are going, going, gone!Yesterday I ordered a largish quantity of buckles, d rings, webbing, etc. I really, really hope to make a go with my new

I suddenly find myself very interested in webbing and single adjust contoured side release buckles. I had so much fun making this little leash that I ran out and got a few more supplies today. Unfortunately I will have to order the buckles online (I have a fear of ordering bulk things online). Why is it that no one in Portland seems to sell contoured buckles? Weird, I know. Doesn't everyone need

You know the old saying "She who dies with the most fabric wins?" I think I just spent the morning with some real contenders. My most favorite fabric store in all the world, Holly Hill Quilts here in West Linn, just moved into a new building last year. They still have the old building across the street and today and tomorrow they are having a huge clearance sale. $3.00 a yard for fabric (some of

So this afternoon Patrick and I loaded Duncan, Annabelle, the camera gear, and all my newly minted dog bandanas into the truck and headed for the dog park. What we learned was that taking dog photos with the intent of capturing a product they happen to be wearing is much, much more challenging than taking a cute dog picture. Our dogs were, oddly enough, way more interested in sniffing butts and

Today I began to slowly open my etsy shop back up again. I have loaded a few of my old items back in, but I have also started to load some new items I have been working on.So far I have only loaded 2 bandana styles, but I have a variety of them made and ready to go. This weekend I will be working on photos.My good little Duncan makes an excellent model doesn't he? I will try and incorporate some
