Waterproof Lap Blankets

Helen — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 13:43:54 +0000

I have a quantity of ready made waterproof lap blankets available if you need lap protection in a hurry!

Waterproof Lap Blankets can have a cotton or fleece top layer, which is followed by a 9oz wadding layer, then a waterproof layer and finally a bottom fleece layer. They are perfect for protecting laps from little accidents your pet may have during lap time, and also protecting childrens laps from sharp claws.

These come in various sizes; Full coverage adult lap size ( 20 x 20 inches), Childrens (16 x 16 inches) and multi-use Lap/Carrier Liners (16 x 12 inches). These can also be made to any specified size you require.

The Snuggle-OO™ Has Just Got a Little More Cosy!

Helen — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:45:01 +0000

The snuggle-OO is my own design concept based on an igloo shaped house. It is designed to house two guinea pigs for those who are inclined to snuggle together. It is also great for a mother and her babies to have a secure and private place to feed and sleep.

It comes in the regular cotton outer and fleece inner, a double fleece version and now an ultra cosy double fleece with a layer of 9oz wadding sandwiched between, perfect for the cold days which will be with us all too quickly. I have some new patterned fleece fabrics which will be added to the fabric gallery soon. Below are pictures of the Ultra Cosy Snuggle-OO in Black & White Cow Fleece and plain black inner fleece.

Cat sized snuggle Sac!

I now am able to make larger items after sourcing larger supports for the arches to keep openings, erm open!
This is a cat snuggle sac which I made for Rebecca. The stuffed pink cat model unfortuanately isn’t life-size but gives some idea of size. This particular snuggle sac is big enough for two cat to snuggle together and has 9 oz wadding in the base for added feline comfort.

Snuggle Sacs for Hedgehogs

Helen — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 18:34:19 +0000

Su asked me to make some snuggle sacs to accommodate her hedgie friends. She wanted them wider at the entrance but shorter in length than the regular Guinea pig snuggle sac, due to the shape different between the two!

Very kindly Su has sent me some pics of her gorgeously cute Hedgehogs enjoying their new cosy hideaways!

I think I'll stay in here for a while

Are these real flowers?

Co-ordinating Cagewear

Helen — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 10:13:21 +0000

I have an obsession at the moment with browns and greens, clothes, homewear and cagewear! So I was delighted to make Charley a matching set of a Snuggle-OO and ramp tunnel, for some pampered piggies….don’t you just love co-ordination!

By sheer coincidence whilst writing this post I just got this email from Charley:

“I just got the tunnel today we put it in and 5 mins later the were up and down it they love it and they love the Snuggle-OO.

Thank you sooooooooooo much

Charley”

Thank you Charley, its always great to hear that piggies are enjoying their cagewear!

A lovely set in Choc Lime

Co-ordinating at its best!

The Guinea Pigs Who Refused to Use Their Ramp ~ A problem Solved!

Helen — Sun, 03 May 2009 20:42:09 +0000

Rachael had a problem, she has a two tier hutch but her little madams, Disney and Paris, decided that they didn’t like the ramp, even with much coaxing of favourite treats they still refused to venture into the bottom of their hutch.
Rachael obviously wanted her piggles to have more room to play and frolic so she asked for a tunnel to be made specifically to fit the ramp. Disney and Paris have a Snuggle-OO which they adore, so it was fingers crossed that they would be tempted by the fleecey tunnel…. I made a tunnel which was 32 inches long with 4 supporting arches and vecro sewn to the underside, I sent Rachael the sticky parts of the velco to attach to the ramp to keep it secure and in position whilst Disney and Paris travelled through.
I’m very pleased to say it has been a great success and Disney and Paris are now happily using their ramp and have lots more space to exercise, although it sounds as though they’re getting lots of exercise just running up and down the ramp!

New Custom Order: The Snuggle Tunnel!

Helen — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 23:40:47 +0000

Hot off the sewing machine, made for specifically Kate’s Guinea Pigs, Milly & Molly, is the Snuggle Tunnel.
This one is 26 inches long which is approx. twice as long as a Snuggle Sac (see photos below). They can be made shorter or longer depending on your specifications.
As the name suggests, it is open at both ends, so piggies can play running through or take a break and sleep in there too. In keeping with all of the Cosy Cavy Cagewear, it is fully reversable, and has no open seams.
This could also be made with a middle supporting arch if required. Other options could be to add suspending ties, which would make it ideal for ferrets who like to be off the ground, and rats would probably be quite taken by it too!
This one has been made in Purple Haze cotton with Lime Green Fleece.
