Easter in The Dales

Easter Saturday is a big day in the Hebden Calendar…the day of the annual Hebden duck race! The residents of our little Dales village congregate by Hebden Ghyll at 2pm for the big race! In the weeks running up to the race we can buy duck numbers at £1 each…each duck has a number.  There…

A New Competition is Launched!

On Monday we launched a brand new competition on our facebook page. I’d been trying to decide for a week or two what the theme would be this time, and in the end I decided on ‘Dudes in Disguise’. I think this is going to be great fun!  We have categories for dogs with bandanas…

Time For More Lovely New Designs!

It’s been a really busy week here at Dudiedog. I started the week with a trip to my fabric wholesaler, as several of our most popular cotton prints were running low. As usual I managed to get sidetracked by some lovely cottons that had just arrived…some hand printed tie-dyes and batiks. I decided to add these…

Where is Spring?!

Mothers Day

It’s Mothers Day, and I have been greeted in bed this morning by Flo, bearing her DVD player (loaded with Waltons DVD!) and interesting, yet wierd breakfast of Maltesers, Smarties, Cadbury’s Mini Animal biscuits, and heart shaped cake decorations, as well as a cup of tea! What a lovely start to the day! I’ll be…
