They have spaces indoors, but the spaces are too small. The only thing about having the space outdoors, is that we are prone to the elements, wind and rain.

The outfit sounds so adorable. You must post some pictures when you are done.

Other than that, I spent too much time looking at retro sewing machines on Ebay

OK, you asked for pictures...but I feel really silly....cause I don't have a small enough dog to model these.....so I opted for a stuffed one......how goofy is that?

Bev. that is too cute. Love it on the stuffed dog, but will love it more on your daughter's Yorkie.

Carol Sue I am reaching through my computer to give you a HUGE hug. I do know someone with the same condition. She is in her 40's I believe, but not sure. She was diagnosed about 4 0r 5 years ago, and recently was hospitalized.

And the sleeves are..Finished! I love how its turned out, so I didnt do most of the bodice, but I did take in the 4 inches that it was too big! sew the buttons, snaps, hooks and eyes on, remove the elastic, "make" the undersleeves, pleated the skirt...not too bad if I dont say so myself....next up...grandmas dolls...then dishtowels, and finially her outfit...whew...all before Thanksgiving? um...ouch...

Sounds like my oldest son, but he has to be up for school. This week my oldest son has school on Tuesday only, and he is so, so happy. I have a feeling that he will be up til 2 am.

I hate to see good vintage machines being misused so i must bring them home clean them feed the good oil, and sew a few things on them, I can sew in my sewing room, in the dining room, in my bedroom, or in the living room....works for me.
