Letter Love 101: Art Journaling with Joanne Sharpe

Hello Everyone!

I just signed up for this new online class called Letter Love 101:  Art Journaling with Joanne Sharpe.  It looks amazing!  I can't wait to start learning.  Joanne's work is absolutely beautiful, and her lettering is amazing.  I  believe this is her first online class too and it sounds like she is putting her heart and soul in to it.

I have taken a few other online classes, and all of them have been extremely enjoyable.  What I truly love is when the instructor designs the class for unlimited access using private blogs!  This is particularly important to me because I like to go back from time to time and re-learn what is being taught!  No pressures!

Sound like fun?  There is still time to join her class.  Just stop by her blog.  She has tons of information describing so many things about this new class!

Have a fun day!

FAQ's: Where Do I Purchase Side Release Buckles in colors?

Right here at Linden Line Designs.  We have Pink, Blue, Gold and Silver Side Release buckles and offer them in a variety of quantities to fit almost every need.  And they are all One Inch Wide. Our customers use these buckles for many reasons too.  Some of our customers use them for belts, purses, dog collars, tote bags, diaper bags, and even messenger bags.

We also offer one inch wide matching slides which are also known as plastic slip locks or tri-glides.

Just look at how much prettier the following dog collar looks by using a Pink Side Release Buckle and matching Slide:

So, it's time to think out of the box and add a little color to your projects.

Pink, Blue, Gold and Silver are the new Black!

FAQ's: Where Do I Purchase a Dog Snood? What is a Dog Snood?

FAQ: Where can I purchase a dog snood for my Cavalier? One excellent source to purchase your dog snoods is from Joan at Linden Line Designs.

Hello: For over Six Years Now, I have been making Dog Snoods for Cavaliers as well as many other Long Eared Breeds such as: Basset Hounds, Cocker Spaniels, Standard Poodles, etc. In fact, Spaniel owners tell me that my size X-Large snood fits the Springer Spaniel breed, as well as the Irish water spaniel, very nicely.

The snood is a gentle way to hold back the ears to prevent accidental chewing. It also helps keep the ears from dipping into food and water. And Snoods for Dogs are very popular with breeders that show their pups.

This snood was made using #95 - Jubilee:

Here is one sewn in #7 - Red Bandana:

There are many, many more fabric prints to choose from on the Snood Page @ LLD.

I sew these snoods with flat fell seams for extra strength and durability. The elastic is enclosed in a casing so that the fabric is what touches your family pet's fur, and not the elastic, which tends to pull. I also stitch the elastic in place to prevent rolling. Made from 100% cotton or cotton blends. Snoods are available in six sizes. I include size tabs as well as the laundry tabs which are sewn in for the convenience of the multi-snood-wearing dog owner.

Here is a "Before" and "After" photo of Stanislaw the Cocker Spanier. Stanislaw even has his very own blog, too: I Eat Raw Meat.

Here is another cute picture - please meet Grace from California wearing her Heart Bandana.

So, if you are in need of a Snood for your long eared pup, stop by LLD today where all our products are sewn with tons of TLC.

Have a wonderful week everyone!

New Blog Avatar

Yep!  That's Me!  I decided that this year is going to be all about making changes.  So I updated my Blog avatar using this photo of me.  For the longest time, I was using the custom made "peace sign" that McKenna designed for me including a pug silhouette,   This photo was taken about two years ago, but what the heck - better late than never, right?   And oh my goodness - I truly DON'T want to take a current photo because I recently got my hair cut or should I say 'chopped off' and cannot wait for it to grow back to my normal length.   Now I am not the kind of person who complains to their hairdresser.  But in this case I truly wished I had the nerve to do so.  This was the worst haircut I have ever had and what did I do....I said 'thank you', and graciously left for home!  Have you ever had a bad hair cut before?  If so, how did you handle the situation?

Speaking of changes for this new year, I will be making several product changes to Linden Line Designs, as well.  I have a huge inventory of ready to ship items that I will be offering at my website as well as in my ETSY shop too.  So stay tuned for lots of good "SALES". 

Happy Sunday Everyone.  Have a Wonderful Week, too.
