Here is a website that shows how to make easy no-sew blankets out of fleece:

These can be made smaller for pet blankets. Larger sizes are nice for watching football games, etc.

Thank you for the link. I made a couple of these fleece blankets, but my knots didn't look that good. Now I know how to tie them.

I wonder if some families would like to make dog and cat treats; kids might want to buy them as presents. I'm sure there are home recipes online.

when I do shows and do the dog treats, it's the first to disappear. once I just bought little milk bones and dipped them in the FAKE white chocolate disks and put red and green sprinkles for Christmas and blue for hannuakka. sold in a flash. I put 13 in a bag and called them a barkers dozen.

Could you set up a Secret Santa to make/buy gifts for a Seniors Home in your area? Many seniors have few visitors and it would be spreading Christmas cheer outside of your Church membership.

Very Cute!!! Pets gifts are wonderful! Would you mind if we used your title? I really like it! Where do you get fake white chocolate disks?

Oh, my goodness, what a GREAT idea! I never would have thought of it! Our senior citizens are so often forgotten at holiday time. What a touching way to get to bless them. Thank you so much!
