{squeaky, a very special puppy}

This little guy came to me very well loved, but looking pretty beat up.
He was Melanie's husband's puppy when he was young and then they passed him on to their son when he was young. He's been loved for many years and Melanie wanted to have him restored so she could surprise her son for his 22nd birthday with a new & improved Squeaky that he can pass on to his own children. 
Melanie wanted the original dog to still be in tact and just wanted him recovered so I basically made a slip cover for him. The original body is still inside. I added more stuffing to replace what he had lost over time and he still has the original eyes.
I'm very happy with how Squeaky turned out & so was Melanie. This was her review she left for me on Etsy...
"Rachelle You could not have done a better job. Truly outstanding. You made him loose and wrinkly. He still looks like the old Squeaky. Exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks so very much. Hopefully this 2nd generation pup will be in our family for years to come. Thank you very very much. Worth every penny. Many thanks. My son is upset that his dad's chocolate stain is no longer there. I told him you kept old bod but covered all that history. Is that correct still? He looks great otherwise. Thanks." 
You can order a custom made stuffed animal or contact me if you're interested in having one restored like this one.

{a bow tie & some dress alterations!)

Trevor was my daughter, Miranda's date for Prom this year. She wanted me to make his bow tie to coordinate with their blue converse shoes. I didn't make her dress, but I did do some alterations on it. This is the first time I didn't make a formal for one of my girls. I did shorten this dress and I added the sleeves to it!

You can order a custom tie over in my Etsy Shop. I don't have a listing for them yet, so if you head over there before I do then just message me!

{quinton, mr. humpty dumpty}

One of the things I love about what I do is being able to do something different everyday.
Most people don't like change, but for the most part I do so I love getting to do something different with each order.
These fun Humpty Dumpty's have pants that come off of the egg and then you can see the crack in the egg.
I have two sizes of Humpty's available in my shop. You can choose the size & colors you'd like for your humpty when you order.
