What made you happy today?

I’ve been happily sewing cloth face masks for family and friends. Today I had an unexpected gift of 5 specially made for me masks from a very dear friend. All made in fabulous Guinea pig fabrics. 5 different fabrics. So thrilled and touched. I’m not big on selfies but here’s me modelling one of these beauties.

I want one too... could you maybe persuade your friend to make a few more piggy themed masks to auction for rescue funds? I am sure everyone on here would bid like mad! I'd happily bid £10 for one :)

I will ask her if she has any more fabric and whether she might make a couple for us to auction. She has explicitly banned me from selling or giving away any of the ones she’s sent to me :lol!:
Otherwise I could try to get some fabric and make some (but I’m not clever enough to make the ones with a filter pocket).
 
My dog slept through the night & allowed me to, first night in 3 that I've not been woken at roughly 1.30 & 4.30am! :zzz:
Bonus! :D

She's not eaten anything for 3 days, anything she attempted to eat wouldn't stay down :( plus lots of other problems going on :(

I spoke to the vets Mon & Tues, yesterday she looked really awful, I managed to get a vets appointment & the afternoon off to take her :D , one of my favourite vets seen her, she did bloods, prescribed tablets & injections.

This morning she looked brighter, took her tablets disguised in potato, then ate all of the potato, carrot & chopped up bits of sausages that I was up peeling/cooking for her at 5.45am!

I felt we had turned a corner as she finally wanted to eat & she kept it down. :wub:

I wanted to cry with relief & happiness :clap: :D :clap:
She's 12yrs in May, but she's still my little baby puppers :luv:

So glad your baby is feeling better, they never stop being your baby do they!
 
@Pigwhisperer She's a big dufus, but such a sweet heart, they love her at the vets too as she's a regular & so good natured :luv:

Even the vet said she was very concerned & that I had
a very poorly dog :eek:

But today she's had a mix of potato, carrot, sausage and chicken every 4hrs. Things are looking so much better now :D :D

I don't have human kids, so she is definitely my baby (along with the girls) :wub:
Xx
 
Jessica is in her first mental development leap so I have had two days of pretty much feeding every hour and one night of waking every 2-2.5 hours... Last night however... A full 6 hour sleep! :yahoo: I feel like a new woman and will probably have another day of full on feeding and not settling down but I don't mind so much when I've slept

Well, my dear friend does not have any more piggy fabric. She has kindly agreed to order some more fabric but it comes from Germany and will take at least a fortnight to arrive. So in the meantime she has very kindly agreed to let me auction a couple of the ones she made for me so it's a win/win situation.

I will photograph 2 of them and put on an auction with proceeds split between @The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue and @furryfriends (TEAS)

Has your friend tried zazzles tiny designs?
There's usually a discount code on the site, might be worth a look? X
Tiny Design Factory: products on Zazzle

Oh & edit... Another thing that made me happy today was the swift action of the admin/moderators at TGPF, detecting/disposing of fake members & their posts, keeping us genuine members safe on the site. Cheers peeps :D xx

A friend and I were 'chatting' (online of course) today about the best material for homemade face masks.
I sew and have made masks for friends, so decided to do a bit more research on the topic to be sure I am doing the best job possible.

I went to Google and typed in:

best material for homemade...

and the first suggestions was

best material for homemade parachute :yikes: :yikes: :yikes:

Really?
I mean I make a lot of stuff, and am the biggest fan of homemade, but parachutes?
