How Our Senior Pups Inspire Stitch and Timber Co.
From Puppies to Wise Old Souls
While they may not be puppies anymore, Hobie and Sammy still hold all the love, personality, and quirks that made us fall in love with them in the first place. Aging has changed them in many ways—Hobie moves a little slower these days, and Sammy takes more naps than she used to—but their sweet, loving spirits remain as strong as ever.
The Heart of Our Home & Workshop
Running Stitch and Timber Co. from home means we’re lucky to have two of the best “shop assistants” around. Hobie and Sammy may not craft with us, but their presence fills our workshop with warmth, comfort, and inspiration.
Hobie, the Supervisor – Whether he’s trailing us to the workbench or curling up in my office, he’s always keeping an eye on things—especially snack breaks.
Sammy, the Quality Control Expert – She watches over us from a distance, basking in the sunlight while making sure we’re staying on task. Every now and then, she’ll check in—just to remind us to take a break and enjoy life’s simple moments.
Their companionship is a daily reminder of what we strive to create through Stitch and Timber Co.—handmade pieces that bring warmth, love, and a sense of home to others.
Why Senior Dogs (and Handmade Goods) Are Special 🐶🐾
There’s something truly special about senior dogs—their quiet wisdom, their ability to make a house feel like home, and the stories written in every gray whisker. In many ways, they embody what we love most about craftsmanship:
They bring comfort – Just like a well-loved quilt or a hand-carved wooden keepsake, senior dogs have a way of making spaces feel cozy and familiar.
They tell a story – Every scratch on a favorite chair, every paw print on the floor, every handcrafted item in our shop—each holds memories of love and time well spent.
They remind us to slow down – Just like we appreciate the slow, intentional process of creating something by hand, senior dogs teach us to pause, rest, and savor life’s little joys.
Crafting a Cozy Life—For Our Pups & Yours
As Hobie and Sammy grow older, we make sure they’re surrounded by comfort—plush beds, soft blankets, and plenty of warm spots to nap. It’s the same kind of care we put into the items we make for Stitch and Timber Co. Whether it’s a handcrafted wooden sign, a cozy cross-stitched design, or a thoughtful home accent, everything we create is made with the same love and intention that we give to our pups.
If you have a furry friend at home (especially a senior pup), take a moment today to appreciate the warmth they bring to your life. And if you’re looking for something special to make your home even cozier—for you and your four-legged companion—check out our latest handcrafted designs at Stitch and Timber Co.
Happy National Puppy Day to all the pups, young and old! 🐾💛
