Get ready... to get Snugglie!!

The website will be launched this weekend with a fully functional store!!! We're excited :0) It's a big step for Snugglie Bags!

We've already got three bags sewn for the "grand opening", that's three out of those 25+ that we have cut. 

We hope you join us for our website's grand opening... to get ready for it... become a fan on facebook! We will be posting an EVENT for when we reach 100 fans on Facebook, some lucky pet (and their person) will win a Snugglie Bag of their choosing! Blog fans are hearing this first!!!! More details to follow<3

Oatie's ready for the race to 100!

He's all decked out in his new White Sox liner and bag (and his custom wheel). 

See you guys on facebook!

Being productive has its perks

I don't consider severe back pain to be one of them. Yesterday, I decided since I was working retail over Xmas break (instead of writing a paper for grad class, preparing lessons, and sewing Snugglie Bags) I was going to make up for it by spending the day cutting as many Snugglie Bags, Hammocks, etc. that I could... And I did.... There's 26 Snugglie items just waiting to be sewn.

I also made Noodles and Oatie Liners and Bags for their cages.

But after hours of being hunched over a table cutting. I ended up with my back being so stiff that I can't stand straight. Sitting isn't much fun either, neither is laying. So I'm in quite a pickle. For those of you who  remember from way back in my paper scrapbooking days, I had (hopefully don't HAVE) three herniated discs in my lower back. I had 7 epidurals (lesi injections) and it seemed to have fixed it. Right now, it's almost worse than it was. I thought I would wake up this morning and feel fine, not at all. I'm going to try to go to work tomorrow, but seeing as I have to walk all over the school to pick up my students several times a day.... I'm not sure if that's going to be possible. We'll seeee......

On another note, I wanted to show everyone our homemade hedgehog wheels. They are made out of 5 gal. buckets, pvc pipes and roller blades. Noodles' is the pink and Oatie's is green. Not only are they less expensive compared to the biggest ones at the pet store, but they are quiet and actually fit our pets! Pet stores normally sell the Comfort Wheel and Silent Spinner wheels, neither which are quite this big. The comfort wheel is not as sturdy and the silent spinner is not SILENT! The plastic pieces start knocking on each other, besides the fact that the wheel is curved..... So anyway, if you have large pets like hedgehogs or chinchillas, please make their wheels!

And of course, I have to share a pic of the baby Oatie! He's enjoying an apple. 

And yes, I did clean his poopie feet after this shot. :0)

I also finished the website yesterday!!!! Click the link to take a peek.

Our website!

Our store is not functional on it yet, but you can check out the fleece patterns, our history, and all about the snugglie bags there. It will also be a much easier website. I will keep you posted when everything goes live!

Have a great week!

Website Coming Soon!!!

Sorry for the absence.... I've been working on lots of different things over here!!

In the past day, I have over 25 bags/hammocks cut and ready to be sewn! It killed my back to be leaning over the table like that but it will all be worth it soon. There is even the material for our *first* tunnel in that stash :0)

Our new hedgie, Oatie, now has his own custom built wheel and bag/liner sets (Chicago Bears and White Sox Sets!). I'll have to post pics of it soon! He's a little piggy!!

The more exciting is that we will be launching our very own website soon!!! As in within the next week, possibly tomorrow, if time (and pain killers for sitting in this chair....) permits!

Until the site launches, there is a promotion found on our facebook fan page for the premade bags currently on ETSY. You'll have to become a find to find out what it is :0) I post coupons on there from time to time (% off, shipping upgrades, etc.).

Stay tuned for more news!!!!

Oatmeal anyone???

Here's Oatmeal (Oatie for short!).... the latest addition to our family!
He's 8 weeks old, snowflake pinto. He's the friendliest hedgehog I have ever met! You could push his face and he wouldn't care (not that I would do that, though!). I don't know what it is, but I am horrible at making fleece liners. Oatie's Bears liner ended up being to small by an inch on all sides.

Here he is hanging out in his Bears Snugglie Bag.

Turned the Snugglie Bag inside out so he could just hang out with us.

I'm in love <3 

We are making his bucket wheel tomorrow, though I'm fairly sure he won't care about it since he's so small right now. He's still getting over the "nervous poops". I will keep you updated on him. He's got A LOT of growing to do.

We just finished up another Snugglie Tent. Check it out below!

If you like the tent, you can head over to our ETSY store to purchase it OR feel free to email us and we can work on one for you! Email [remove all spaces]: sweetteascraps @ comcast. net

I hope everyone had a great New Years! I know 2011 is starting off pretty good for me!
