My first Fringe Canopy

I'm calling this creation my "Circus Fringe Canopy"

I originally intended this to go to my cousins house for my niece but since I had never made one before I wasn't sure how it was going to work. Ultimately I decided to keep this first prototype and possibly make a second one for my niece once the kinks were worked out.  All in all I like how it came out but it was kinda tricky to make and not quite my best work.  I'd like to try doing the straps in velcro instead of doing them as ties.  That will make it easier to take on and off.  All in all it's cute, it's not slumping, and most importantly my piggies like it. I regret not making it bigger though. It only covers the back half of my kitchen.





Fleece for Thea ~ part 2

When my cousin told me was getting my niece guinea pigs of course I volunteered to make her some fleece for her cage.  I have finally finished her second batch of fleece items.  Two more tunnels, bridge style.  Two rainbow pads to fill in a gap between her kitchen box and the wall of the cage.  Two 1x2 pads since her piggies are corner poppers.  Three thick square pads for under water bottles and for extra layers in the corners and one big 2 grid x 4 grid cage liner, double sided with two layers of uhaul and fold over flaps.


 The pile:

1x2 pads double sided and smaller fill in rainbow pads:

Graffiti Fleece

Simplifying this month...

I have been getting a little behind on my laundry and decided to down size the piggies cage for a while.  But since I love to sew and love new patterns, I whipped up some new graffiti themed fleeces.  

Two patio liners and one full cage pad:
