Hello and welcome to my site. My name is Connie and I'm blessed with 3 yorkies, Madelyn Rose (Maddie), Libby Rae of Sunshine, and Faith. They are such little characters and bring smiles and laughter to my life. The modeling has been done by Maddie and Libby, but Faith will be getting in on the action soon. I never dreamed I'd have 3 yorkies, but found that they are like potato chips...you can't have just one.

I sew dresses and vests, custom fit to your dog's size. These dresses and vests are not only fashionable and cute, but they can also be used as a harness with the attached D ring. These D rings are solid cast, so there is no chance of them splitting or coming loose. I can also do any dress or vest without the D ring, if you prefer.

Please note that I will be taking the entire month of December off , so if you'd like a Christmas dress or vest, please order well in advance.

Click on the green buttons to take you to different areas of my website. If you see anything you would like or have any questions please email me. I still have many dresses to add and updating to do here which will be done as time allows.

In Loving Memory of my Mom and Dad,
and my nephew Rich

I lost both my Mom and Dad to the horrid disease of cancer. Dad died in June of 1989 and my Mom died In February of 2007. She died less than two weeks after the diagnosis and it is heartbreaking. On July 20th of this year (2008) my dear and precious nephew, Darrel Richard "Rich" Hovde fell from a TV tower he was painting and died. He is the son of my sister, Judy, and her husband, Darrel. Needless to say, we are all devastaed with his loss. It is so hard living life after losing Rich.

Mom, Dad and Rich...We love you! You are always in our hearts and not a day goes by that we don't think of you...and miss you terribly. Even though we know you are rejoicing in heaven, the earthly loss is so hard to take and our hearts are broken.

Click HERE to see the tribute for Rich. It is beautiful and with his favorite music. At the very end, you will see his picture he took of himself on the tower, and hear a voice message he sent to his dad about a week before he died.

Judy and I got in memory of Mom and Dad. It says their names and "You are always in our hearts." It is at the cemetery where they are buried and sitting just in front of the tree we planted. Since this picture was taken, we have planted flowers, but I have no pictures of that yet.

My special nephew, Richie...that's what I called him.

Rich took this picture of himself with his cell phone from up on the tower.

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought of you yesterday and the days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.
