When you are the only person in a small business you have to become proficient at lots of different jobs that are essential to the everyday running of the business.

The sewing and creating is the easy bit for me.

The packing, posting, marketing, accounts, planning of events, stock levels and keeping up a presence on social media can be all consuming.

Website maintenance and uploading of new designs is a job that drives me crazy. It takes ages, photographing and uploading images, adding alt tags, links and sorting out SEO, checking keywords and then making it all look cohesive can take hours and hours because I’m not particularly tech minded.

But I’ve done it!

The Christmas Collections are live on the Leo Charley and Me website! 🎄

All the stock is made for the Christmas Fairs and I’m good to go!

This is the first of 5 new seasonal prints. It’s a soft cotton poplin Red Tartan which is perfect for the festive season and beyond.

It’s available as a collar, lead, bandana, bow tie and scrunchie.
(Just in time for )

There are new sizes of bows to accommodate all sizes of dog. There’s a Tiny bow for all the sausages out there. We have our Standard bow that is the right size for most dogs and then there is the Jumbow for the Big Dawgs and anyone who wants to make a statement!

All three sizes are available in these new fabrics to start with and eventually will be available throughout our collection.

Though if you want anything different to our standard bow drop a note in the box when you order and I will try to accommodate your requests.

Check out our gorgeous new festive fabrics.

I’m so lucky to have Winnie and Gertie modelling two of our new Christmas prints which drop onto the website tomorrow.

The girls are wearing the gorgeous Christmas Snowstorm and Liberty Tangled prints. 🎄

There is also a super cute Red Tartan, a Metallic Red Holly and another beautiful Liberty print, Tumbling Baubles. 🎄

The collars and lead handles are lined with soft velvet in coordinated colours which makes them so luxurious and comfortable to use. 🎄

They are all made by me here in rural Staffordshire from high quality cotton fabric.

Which is your favourite print? 🐾🐾🎄

Thanks to Kate for the fabulous photos of Gertie and Winnie.🌟

Here’s our little black dog on

Did you know that black dogs are less likely to be adopted from rescue centres.

In folklore they are seen as sinister and malevolent beings so National Black Dog Day was created to try to promote fairness towards black dogs.

Charley is a typical active and bouncy spaniel who loves to cuddle up to is at night. The only difficulty we have with regards to her colour is that it’s harder to get good photos of her.

She’s a great model for my handmade accessories as all colours look amazing on her.

Occasionally we do manage to get good photos of her. This shot is one of my absolute favourites. 🐾🐾🥰

Here are Gertie and Winnie on their holiday adventures wearing their super cute summer bandanas.☀️

This supaw model duo had a brand new holiday pawdrobe featuring our summer range of bandanas which were perfect for their frolics in France.

I love it when their mum sends me pics of the girls wearing my handmade accessories whilst on their travels.

Don’t they look cute!🐾🐾🥰

This poor boy had a tumour removed from his eyelid on Tuesday and the last 24 hours have been absolutely hell.

We are both exhausted after he spent the whole night refusing to lie down, sit or move whilst wearing the cone. He wouldn’t eat or go to the toilet either.
He just cried and panted for almost 24 hours despite constant attention and reassurance from me.

He’s scared of the cone and if anything touches it he screams in anticipation of pain when there is none. It so distressing for him and for us having to watch him.

But I’m glad to say he has finally settled this evening and we’ve worked out a routine.
The cone comes off, he changes position with me holding his collar to prevent him rubbing his face on the floor, he settles himself and the cone goes straight back on.

It comes off for food and water and when he is in the garden on his lead for toilet trips.
I have to watch him like a hawk because he’s desperate to rub his eye. He sneakily managed to rub it on my leg and made it bleed so I need ninja reactions to get the cone back on after he’s had a drink.

You’d think in 2024 there’d be something better than this flipping cone. It’s huge and catches on the furniture, door frames and stairs, startling him every time.

If any pet people out there have any better solutions please let me know as it’s going to be on for two long weeks.

All attempts to get any work done have been thwarted by my needy dog.

PS. I’ve already ordered a soft cone and a pair of safety goggles for dogs. If they are any good I will let you know. 🐾🐾❤️

If you have a reactive dog this book needs to be in your library.

In fact it is a must buy if you have an anxious or nervous dog, an over excited dog, a dog with medical conditions, illnesses or one who is recovering from surgery.

You might be surprised to learn the traditional ‘dog walk’ is a human invention and isn’t necessary or helpful for many of our dogs today.

So if you want to discover ways to help your struggling dog this book will help you learn practical, fun and easy ways to train your dog to help them lead calmer and happier lives.

It includes 50 pages of bond boosting games that reduce anxiety.

So check out this great little book by expert Niki French who is on a mission to help people become their dog’s best advocate and support.
You can find out more about Niki

Leo and Charley love playing games in the garden and on the days they visit the freedom field.

This is Bobby.

He’s wearing a large Silver Sheep bandana that his mum bought for him this afternoon at the Market I attended.

I saw a photo of Bobby before Lily made her purchases and once she had chosen his bandanas I asked if she would send me a photo of him wearing it for my gallery of pups. 🐾🐾❤️

She bought it around midday and in less than 2 hours Bobby was modelling it and Lily, his mum, was busy taking photos to send me. I think she should have a gold medal for the speed of fulfilling my request.

He’s now going to be one of my supaw models on the digital frame that goes with me to events. ⭐️

What a gorgeous boy he is. Can’t wait to see him in his other new accessories! 🐾🐾❤️

All set up at the Artisan Street Market.

It’s wild and windy but at least the sun is out.

It’s my first big market so I’m totally out of my comfort zone. 🤣🤣

The folk of Newcastle are so friendly.

For the last month I’ve been so busy with bespoke orders and making stock for events but I’ve taken time out each Tuesday morning for a Coffee and Crochet class where I’ve learned a new skill!

I’ve always wanted to learn but for some reason just couldn’t grasp the basics….
until now.

I’ve had 4 x 2 hour sessions with coffee and chat plus the expert guidance of Tracy and have managed to make a mini Charley!! The ears were a labour of love especially as I’m just a beginner.

Warning⚠️ if you learn to crochet be prepared for it to become an obsession 🤣🤣

So here is Mini Charley sitting amid a stash of tug toys and snuffle balls that are being packed up ready for the event tomorrow where Dove Valley Gun Dogs are having a Country Dog Show.

Fingers crossed for a fine day! 🐾🐾❤️
