Enzo's new sleepy time palace...

So today daddy took the young ones out for the day, so mom had lots of time on her hands to be with her Enzo. Well I soon found I was bored trying to figure out what I could do during Enzo's nap times. Well it didn't take me long to come up with an idea!

I noticed Enzo sleeps so much better if he has privacy at night due to me being a late night busy bee in the bedroom...So I decided instead of just tossing the blanket over his night time crate it was time for mom to get crafty...so off to Walmart I went to get the needed supplies. Later that day I started building his cover! And VoilĂ , it was done in no time (2 hours actually)!

Now I am just trying to decide if I want to make one for the bigger cage too in the living room due to his nap times being interfered by poking baby fingers LOL I think the next time daddy takes the little ones, I will get to work on the big crate! Plus I can make one to match with our decor, since the crate is like a HUGE piece of furniture now! Haha


So instead of pics of Enzo today...we have pics of his beautiful new crate cover! Or at least I think it is!


Here are some of the supplies I used...of course I had a few things already on hand like the thread! ;o)



The finished product, it fits snugly around his cage and the front flap can open and shut allowing for the door to open. I used the paw print ribbon to line the door openings, and also for the tie backs on top! ;o) I am thinking of adding a small window in the back with the same drop down and tie back option!

Front Open....



Front closed...
