Debbie's Designs: Art Teacher with Major Talent

The Artist: Debbie
Debbie's Designs are from the creative mind of Debbie, who is also a dachshund owner for most of her life. Debbie has been an art teacher now for 22 years, with most of the years at the middle schools. She has an art education degree with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.

Debbie's favorite medium is watercolor but she loves to quilt and make anything that sparks her interest.

Debbie created and handmade this pillow. She offers custom pillows to match your home decor. http://www.doxiecrafts.com/pillow.html


This is a quilt Debbie created using a picture of a dachshund. Each color is hand cut and sewn together. This project took a couple of months. Quilt is 40" x 40".


Debbie’s Dachshunds

Sophie
March 1994, Heaven December 2007
Sophie lived a long and good life. She was very huggable and loved by everyone who met her. Her only fault was that she was a bit selfish with her chew toys and bones. Her favorite things in life were to chase squirrels, to go after her automated ball and to relax. Her loss was difficult for both Debbie and Jenny.

Jenny
May 1994 to present
Jenny acts and looks like a country dog. She received her name from Jenny in Forest Gump and of course, we say Jenny just as Forest does! She was best friends with Sophie and loved her more than any human or thing. In fact, Jenny belonged to Debbie’s roommate and loved Sophie so much that she stayed with Sophie when her mommy moved. Jenny's spirit is strong and survived a back surgery when her legs collapsed. Jenny still has some issues with bladder control but lives a happy and content life with her new best friend Star.

Jenny & Sophie

Star
Adopted February 2, 2008 to present
Star is a beautiful rescue dog from Almost Home Dachshund Rescue. She was living among over 40 dogs in a small house with a woman who just could not say “no” to picking up animals. Star is very skittish around humans and has attached herself to Debbie alone. She does love living with Jenny and she spends her days at Grandma’s with the other dachshunds, enjoying their open fenced in yard and their comfy couches.
