The last things i had a chance to make before the chaos of moving house took over my life were the first in new range of pet blankets and this week i've finally been able to get them listed for sale! As always, i look forward to hearing your thoughts :)
BTW... What do you think of the price? I know its not cheap but it reflects the cost of the materials i've used... i'm just wondering if, as a potential customer, you would feel its worth it. Your feedback is invaluable so thank you in advance!
Pet Blankets/Comforters/Furniture Protectors
As the title suggests, the idea behind these is that they're multi functional - they can be used to create a comfy spot for your pet to relax in style either at home or on the move.
They work well as furniture protectors too - no more dirty paw prints or shedding fur on your sofa/bed/car seat!
One side is durable linen/cotton blend fabric (with a Free Spirit Designs print of course :)) and the reverse is organic bamboo fleece - soft, absorbent, eco-friendly and said to have antibacterial properties too!
Both the dog and the cat blanket measure 92 x 66cms, here are some pics...
Running Whippets Dog Blanket
Cats In Love Cat Blanket
They are both available now from my Etsy shop, website and other outlets priced £38. If they prove popular i intend to offer a wide range of fabric prints but i chose a couple of my favourites to start off with, i hope you like them too!
Squeaky Dog Bone Toy
Regular readers with a good memory may recall i showed you this squeaky dog toy a few months ago...
...i always intended to list it for sale at the same time as the blankets and its taken me this long to catch up with myself!
It is made with the same durable linen/cotton blend as the blankets, with organic white cotton canvas on the reverse side. It is stuffed with sheep's wool, a natural and sustainable product with a comforting smell that happily both dogs and humans enjoy! It comes with a squeak for extra fun (also available without for more determined chewers :)). I gave my doggy one for Christmas and he still regularly gets it out of his toy box for a game!
They are available to buy now from my website, Etsy shop and other outlets priced £8.99. As with the blankets i'm planning to offer these in a range of fabrics in due course.
Other than that i've spent the week getting the house in order and getting to know my new neighbourhood... before i hand you over the the wonderful crafting hotspot that is Handmade Monday, i thought you might like to see some pics i took of some of the locals...
Thanks for visiting! x
Love the blankets! You can never have enough with dogs around. But my Staffie Molly would mangle that toy in seconds :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOh no! Maybe not the best toy for him then.. :/ x
ooops, i meant to say 'her'! my dog is a boy and my brain is easily confused :)
DeleteLovely blankets x although i'm a doggy person and not a cat person at all, im actually much preferring your cute cat designs. I think the price is very reasonable, as its handmade and decent fabrics. I think the bone toy is adorable. Have a good week xx
ReplyDeleteAww thank you! i'm really glad you like them :) x
DeleteThe blanket looks nice, very well made and very practical but I probably wouldn't pay £38 for a pet blanket - but as I can make my own it tends to colour my views - you probably need to canvas views from people who can't sew!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes i know exactly what you mean, i tend to make my own things too! :)
DeleteHow lovely to have little lambs on your new doorstep. Love the blankets, and as usual have a preference for the cats - but that is just me.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely, they're soooo cute!
DeleteAww thank you, i'm glad you like them :) x
I love both your cat and your dog blankets, I'm sure people who are crazy about their animals will be happy to pay £38. The dog toy is a great idea, all dogs love toys.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm really happy that you like them :)
Deletemy dog certainly does love his toys and the arrival of a new one is very exciting! :)
My cat and dog would love your blankets.
ReplyDeleteAww thank you! x
DeleteThe blankets look gorgeous, looks like great quality lining. Could they be marketed as lap blankets for grown ups too? Are they big enough? Or would that confuse customers!!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Vicky! They would be big enough to use as lap blankets, good thinking! :)
DeleteI love the idea of using them as furniture protectors - very personalised ones. Hopoe you have a good weekend.
ReplyDeletethank you! you too! x
DeleteWow, these would be great for my dog and cat who loves to sleep side-by-side. Thank you very much for posting these pics.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Peter, i'm glad you like them! :)
