SO FUN!!


Leslie and her sister contacted us regarding a multitude of items and we were thrilled to take on the task.

An OSU orange blanket with a hereford and surprise inside where in order and although we were a bit nervous in the beginning we LOVE the way it turned out!!


We were even more excited when Leslie told us that the blanket was a perfect match! ;)
Their brand was placed on the inside corner and looked GREAT!


Then it was on to the Stockyard Friends.  Two herefords, a buckskin, and a bay. 







SO FUN!!!

WOW!!

It's been FOREVER since we last posted!  Fear not, we are still cranking out tons of show related goodies and can't wait to share them with you! 

Stacy Young, sister of the famous Crystal Young, contacted us about making a black baldie and custom minky for her good friends new baby.  At that time we weren't sure what she was going to be having so Stacy decided on a turquoise and brown paisley that is even more adorable in person!


She also requested a black baldie that we all ended up loving!! 

Isn't he precious!!

The calves are all handmade and hand shaped so they take a while but are SO worth it in the end!!

Holly Blue Belle

 

Jennnifer, over at jentsfrontporch.blogspot.com contacted us about making a Stockyard Friend that looked like her son's show heifer Miss Holly Blue Belle.  Of course we said yes not thinking of the implications. ;)  You see Miss Holly is a blue roan which when one truly thinks about is is not the easiest thing to reproduce.  She rounded up some pics and we started brainstorming.


Two calves, black hands and tons of white fuzz later we finally accomplished what we were starting to think was impossible!  Check her out! 



This picture made all of the work worth it! 
He's little man approved...nothing can beat that!

The Tale of a Kenzie not a Kinzie


Mackenzie contacted us in hopes that we might be able to make
some of her birthday presents and of course we were thrilled to help out. 
She was a joy to work with and knew exactly what wanted so we got right to it. 
Her garment bag turned out FABULOUS and then we found out that her name was spelled with an E not an I.  Thankfully with a bit of work we were able to switch it around but we never snapped another pic.

Her last request was a little bit harder but oh so fun! 
She sent us a pic of her first calf and asked us to make a Stockyard Friend that looked just like him.

I think we succeeded!

We loved him and so did she!

What an awesome way to remember your first calf or that big win! 
 I can see a few of these in our little's futures!

Stockyard Friends

Introducing Ringo...


We were recently asked by a very dear friend to come up with a stuffed horse for their her new niece.  We were a bit freaked out to say the least.  Horses are so...different.  How to do their ears, what about their mane, wait their hooves!  It's the detail that set our products apart and we knew we had to figure it all out.  (SCARY!!)


After three failed patterns and LOTS of discussion we finally worked out all of the kinks and think that this guy is FABULOUS!  One of the best things is how he fits in the crook of your arm, he's SO soft and cuddly and the halter ended up being the missing "it" factor.


AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

REBA

Brandi contacted us after seeing our classic calf over at Crystal Cattle.  She was looking for the perfect gift for her boyfriend's niece and was hoping we could make one that looked like Reba. 
So she sent us some pics of the gal herself...




 and after a HORRID first try we ended up with the cutest thing I had ever seen. 
See for yourself!



The little bit LOVES her to pieces and sleeps with her every night. 
It's things like that that make the long nights and the itchy eyes SO worth it!

A Winning Pair


Terri contacted us about ordering one of the classic calves for her grandson PJ.  She also wanted a shirt that coordinated with his ear tag so after looking through a few fabrics she choose the Riley Blake plaid and we couldn't wait to get started! 




AHHHHH!  He is so adorable!  Apparently PJ wasn't too sure about him...
but his mom and dad were in LOVE!

It's Time to PARTY!!!

My nephew just turned one!  Seeing as he was the reason we launched PBD we had to come up with something extra special to celebrate the occasion!  After thinking and thinking we came up with this...

 Isn't he cute!  I love how his ear tag turned out!  He has cloven hooves and all...love him!

We also thought he needed an "All in the Name" blanket...

The perfect birthday presents don't you think?

The birthday boy and Auntie
  Happy Birthday little man!  We LOVE you!
