Cozy Saks For ALL Small Animals

When Dinky, my Dachshund, came to our home, I soon discovered his the insationable desire to bury in something. After getting tired of picking blankets up because he would root them off his bed, I decided to come up with a way he could get inside...the Cozy Sak was born. I tried several different materials, but the sturdiness, easy care, and variety has me always coming back to flannel and fleece. I have made many of these in two sizes, fitting the mini Dachshund and tweenie Dachshund.
This is a large Cozy Sak, measuring 19" x 25".
This medium Cozy Sak measures 17" x 20".
Then, Spike the hedgehog came to live at our home. He also love to bury and hide himself in or under things. So I sized down the Cozy Sak to a xsmall 10" x 10" for little Spike to enjoy.
I've recently sold a couple of x-small Cozy Saks to a customer who had guinea pigs. She contacted me and stated that her large guinea pigs loved them, but she would like to have them a little bigger. After her custom order was finished, I have started making small saks that measures 12" x 12".
Caroline shows you how comfy the small Cozy Sak is for larger guinea pigs and small rabbits. With the addition to the new size of Cozy Saks, I decided to add a micro size for the super small animals such as hamsters and mice.
I don't have a model for the micro Cozy Sak, but you can compare the size with my hedgehog, Lucy, standing next to it.

Favorite 5 Friday: Great Patterns

One of my favorite pastimes is browsing Etsy. It's not only a wonderful way to find a fabulous gift or to get inspiration, but also to mingle with like-minded individuals.
I will be promoting (blog, Etsy, Twitter) my "Favorite 5" every Friday, so contact me if you would like me to check out your items. Tell me what you think about these items or share some of your favorites...
Find something you want, just click on the name.


I like to search patterns to get new ideas and these are some that I thought adorable or useful.

I would love to make one of these for my DSL camera. The bags I have found are too small, too large, and definitely boring.

I love these adorable butterflies. I don't crochet but I wish I did. These could be made for mobiles, cat toys, key chains, picks,...the ideas are endless.

One of my favorite hobbies is reading. When my husband bought me a Kindle, it was an adjustment to go from books to an e-reader. I love this e-reader pattern because it opens like a book.
