Sorry for being absent for so long. Last month I lost my best friend and fur baby, Venkman, and I just wasn’t up for much. I am trying to get myself out of the slump and back to crafting slowly. I realized I had more to offer up on here than I thought I did so I figured I would jump back in. Hopefully, this will push me to continue when I start feeling sorry for myself and I’m throw pity parties.

Project Name: Reusable Pee-Pee Pad
Project Link: -0-
Brief Description: Before my sweet baby passed, he was on lots f fluids and wasn’t walking well. He was 21 after all. He started not making it to the litter box so I put down pee-pee pads. He used them but due to the fluids he was using about 5 a day. I couldn’t afford to keep that up so I made him some washable ones. I got tablecloth fabric from the store and sewed up about 5 pads out of terrycloth (make sure you wash it first so it doesn’t shrink). Then I added Cam snaps. He used it immediately and I would just wash them up each day. Sorry, this was the only pick I got before I packed it up. The pads were made in green.

Welcome back! I’m glad you joined us. I know how hard it is to join anything when you’re feeling so down. (((Hugs))) to you. I’m sorry you lost Venkman.
I LOVE the felt animals you’ve been making. They have so much character, and they’re super cute! And that catio looks amazing!

I scrolled through your crafts so fast because I was in a big hurry to tell you how sorry I am that Venkman has passed. Oh, I am so sad for you.

Thank you both so much.
@storerboughtcreation the reason I started doing the felt creatures is for a craft I could do while sitting with Venkman when he started getting worse. In a way, he gifted me with a new skill.

@gozer I love you! I’m so sorry for your loss! I am glad that he was consistently loved, right to the end. And he consistently loved you back.
BTW, I love your felt animals and you did such an awesome job on the catio!

Brief Description: DH and I have been wanting to buy magnetic white boards to put on our fridge and freezer. It’s so hard to know what’s in there and we throw away way too much food and buy produce that we already have plenty of. We figured, if we wrote it down, erased items as they were used, maybe we could stay on top of things better. When we saw the prices on Amazon, we decided to make our own with laminated paper and magnets. The magnets cover the entire back of the area we’ll be writing on, so that it will be an even writing surface.
