Friday Fetch: Mason Jar Cookie Containers

I think my new years resolution should be to eat more cookies, what do you think? While I absolutely love a good cookie, I can also appreciate a good cookie jar! So when I stumbled across this beautiful collection of handcrafted mason jars from Here on the Farm – I just knew they would be even more stylish with dog treats inside!

Recovering an Ottoman with a Helping Paw

Easter Egg Hunt for the Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

This is my sunroom, my favorite room in the whole house. (Don’t mind the easter eggs and the snow outside – this was taken earlier this year). I spend a lot of time in here, since it’s got the best view! See that ottoman in the middle, well I also spend a lot of time on that sunbathing. Which is also the reason why mom decided that the fabric needed to be changed (on account of my “sometimes” muddy paws).

Now I’m no stranger to furniture restorations, I’ve helped mom repaint chairs, and dressers – but this would be my first fabric recover!

So mom broke out the tools, but that’s not really how this Dachshund rolls – especially when you have some built-in tools of your own…..

And thanks to me, about an hour later I was looking at my brand-new ottoman!

Covered with a charcoal grey sunbrella fabric, mom says it’s designed to take a bit more of a beating than what was previously on it.

As long as these paws are still allowed on the furniture than it’s A-OK with me! Ammo the Dachshund

Friday Fetch: Dog Clocks from Allen Designs

For Christmas my Uncle Taylor and Aunt Laurel got me a really spiffy Dachshund clock. So spiffy that I decided to do a little research, where I discovered Allen Designs; makers of quirky dog clocks and so much more!

Artist, Michelle, tries to create art that is eccentric, witty, and unique. I poured through her online shop and picked out a few of my favorite canine clocks to share with you.

12 Days of Cheer! DIY Holiday Pet Garland using Milkbones! via Ammo the Dachshund

Mom helped me come up with a fun holiday garland to decorate my home with this year. I figured can’t hurt to make my home extra festive, because you never know what jolly round fellow might be stopping by in a few days!

Materials:

Step 1: Using your Electric Drill, drill holes through the pre-existing hole marks in your cookie. You can alternatively use an awl to push holes through them – but this method tends to crack the cookies easier.

Step 2: Spray paint your cookies a fun and festive color.

Allow them to completely dry before moving onto the next step, preferably overnight.

Step 3: Thread the bakers twine through the back of your cookies. A toothpick may be helpful to push the twine through them.

Step 4: You will want to knot the end of each piece of twine near your cookie so that it won’t slide around on the garland.

Step 5: If you choose you can tie some festive ribbon onto the bakers twine. Then hang and enjoy!

Had I know this Cookie Garland was just for looks and not for nibbling I might not have been as excited to make it.

Despite the red spray paint I can still smell the cookies underneath, so make sure you hang your garland out of reach of any furry friends! Mom says it might smell good, but they won’t taste good! Ammo the Dachshund
