HOMEMADE DOG BISCUITS

Hello Everyone!  HAPPY TUESDAY TO ALL! 


I called up my sister Julie from Toronto, Canada yesterday and we had a lot of topic of conversation until we ended up conversing about dogs.  She owns a dog named Rex and Rex was taken to his vet recently and was diagnosed with heart problem.  Rex is quite old but he's a darling!  Since they were told that Rex has to be on a special diet, my sister Julie prepares his food and treats, chicken and rice and homemade biscuits, no salt, no spices, no additives added.  After our conversation, I realized that she has ideas of how to make dog treats.  So I decided to check our refrigerator if there were any left over and I too can make some dog treats like she does.  I also realized that I was the one in our household purchasing or buying dog food and dog treats.  These are not cheap though, most of these dog foods and treats were quite expensive, especially our dogs do not eat dry dog food.  Here are some of my take on "dog treats", experimented and evaluated, tried to give them to my dogs and they loved them.  :-)




HOMEMADE CHICKEN BREAST DOG BISCUITS


* 1 lb roasted chicken breast, chopped and cooked
*1 c frozen vegetables, chopped and cooked
* 1 c chicken broth or homemade chicken broth (no salt added)
* 1 c unbleached all purpose flour


In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients together and spoon the mixture into a cookie dish pan.  Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake mixture to 40-45 minutes.  Cool and serve.




HOMEMADE GROUND BEEF and SPINACH BISCUITS


* 1 lb ground beef (90% less fat), brown and drain fat
* 1 can chopped spinach, drain
* 1 c unbleached all purpose flour
* 1 c beef broth or homemade beef broth


Same procedure as the chicken.  You can also make these biscuits as thin as possible like a stick.

My latest project ~ set of matching zippered 12" and 9" pouches

Hello Everyone!  These were my latest projects which I finished after New Year, excellent idea for gifts or give away to friends or family on their birthdays or any occasions.  Easy and simple to make.  These zippered pouches were made from scrap fabrics.  A 12" zippered pouch and a 9" zippered pouch.  Batting was used for the 12" and medium interfacing material used for the 9".  12 inches zipper were used for both pouches.

This is how the pouch was cut....very simple and it can be cut into smaller pouch as well. 

Here are the finished product of the matching zippered pouches. The 12" pouch has pockets on the front both sides.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

Wishing you all a NEW YEAR filled with NEW HOPE,  NEW JOY and NEW BEGINNING!  May this NEW YEAR brings you all more blessings, good luck, good health, happiness, and joy!

FLEECE PANTS AND SWEATER

Set of pants and sweater made of fleece fabric, comfy, cozy and warm.

MORE BABY IDEAS

Set of pajamas with matching cloth diapers.

Babies tend to sleep any time and any where, a "neck support" for the baby.  This will help babies to support their head and neck whenever they fall asleep in their stroller while strolling.

MORE BABY IDEAS

These were the environmentally cloth diapers I had completed and finished before Christmas.  From newly born up to 14 lbs. baby.

 

 

MORE BABY IDEAS

I had been busy with "baby ideas" lately, as you all know that I am going to be a "grandma" to a baby girl.  I am really elated and excited as I have many ideas what to create for the baby.  Furthermore when I was pregnant with my daughter all I can think of at that time were to make baby cloth diapers, bibs, baby pillows, crib sets (bumpers and crib spread), little girls dresses and bonnets.  Due to technology, there are more baby ideas to create and sew...the internet has many things available for us to see and to create.  They're very helpful as most of them were environmentally friendly such as "baby cloth diapers", cheaper to make, and these were all hand sewn and handmade for babies, such as "stuffed toys" rather than buying at the children's store (not plastic or resin). 

These were some of the items I had completed and finished for my granddaughter:
A reversible "baby wrap" or "carrier" made of flannelette fabric/material that can be adjusted according to the mother's height.
