The Janey Mac 2010 Spring Collection
















To make it easy I've decided to put all the new coats in this section for Spring 2010.  I have dreamed up some great ideas in my head that I'm excited to work on.   Both Janey Mac and Ulysses are happy to fall asleep to the sounds of my sewing machine whirling away and the chaos and mess that surrounds the creative process.  I can't begin to tell you how many times I look down and find Uly covered with loose bits of string and bits of fabric covering him while he naps at my feet.  Once in a while Janey will get up and come personally over to inspect my progress always giving me encouragement I need and the take a break and pat me because it's good for the both of us. 

I hope you enjoy the beginnings of Janey Mac's Spring Collection as much as I am enjoying all the wonderful and colourful fabrics and paints I am currently working with.  This season it's about keeping dry.  It's about urban cool and epic tales like Lord of the Rings.  Check out our thank you gallery and you will see.

Janey Mac did well at the All About Pet Show

Hello and I wanted to personally thank my wonderful wolfie for being so well behaved and great with the crowds all three days at the All About Pets Show.  I think she was the one and only Irish Wolfhound in attendance and her Leonberger brother came on Saturday too.  Janey was always happy to meet and greet everyone including modelling her big girl coats.  I wanted to thank everyone that stopped in at our booth and I look forward to some great pictures of those special dogs with their special coats. 


Janey also took the time to earn her Canine Good Neighbour Certificate amongst all the chaos and commotion of the busy show and crowds.  What a girl!  We are all very proud of her.


I have quite a few new coats to create and I will shortly download some pictures if all the stars and planets are aligned with my computer.  Janey Mac has also been busy creating one-of-a-kind poop bags (fashionable ones of course) that can be attached to that special somebody's leash.  Because .... why not!  Her special handbags will be coming out shortly too and we've been playing around with some bling for those special coats.  So stay - tuned and thanks again for everyone's support this very busy month.

Spring Time

Hello everyone - winter is over and the weather is warming up.  Janey Mac has a new rain coat for this Spring since she's outgrown last year's coat.   Stay tuned and the pictures will be added shortly.  New pictures have been added to the Thank You Gallery and they are wonderful.  Thanks for sending them in and I'm still waiting for a few more pictures.


My computer has recently suffered a mortal blow that cannot be undone so at least my email and internet is the only thing running at the moment. 


It has been a very busy March and Easter has arrived. This Easter weekend Janey Mac Attire will be at the All About Pets Show so I'm hoping to get some good photographs and if we are lucky Janey herself will try to attend for a couple of hours.  Now that Janey is a full grown female she isn't always Miss Congeniality with other canines.  Janey is very happy to be around any and all humans at all times but has a few issues with other dogs if they are females too.  What can I say - is she destined to be a DIVA - who knows.  Let's hope for NO but in the meantime we have our eyes on her. 


Happy Egg hunting from Janey and Ulysses - who will be getting hard boiled Easter eggs in their bowls instead of the chocolate variety.

Happy New Year it's 2010

Hi everyone - Happy New Year to all.   Well it's been a cold season this January and I'm busy making some warm coats for some special dogs.  Janey is quite warm and toasty with her new coat this season.  As you can see she is quite a big girl who can quietly blend in with her surroundings except for those glowing eyes!  Check out our Celtic, Mac Fly, Rain and Brr it's cold sections for some new coats.

Mac Hoodie

Hi everyone, the holiday season is in full swing and Janey Mac has been a wonderful hound by admiring (ONLY) the Christmas decorations and not destroying them this year.  Ahhhh the joys of adult dogs!  I've been very busy and it certainly is cold outside. 

This coat was the first time I made a giant hoodie for a giant breed dog.  It took alot of engineering and many fittings for Janey who was more than willing to help out.  She is such a good sport.  Here she is modelling the finished hoodie for a bigger dog than her.  WOW.

Happy Holidays!!

Neck Muffs

A fashionable way to keep the neck extra warm.  Knitted neck muffs in bright colours with jewellery and buttons for that little extra bling to make them special.  Of course Janey's scarf is going to take a bit more yarn and time considering the length of her neck.  I used velcro on some of them and the stretchier ones can slip over the head as one piece.
