Cozy Fleece Blankets for Pets

Today I shopped at Zazzle and found cute fleece blankets with animal prints for cats or dogs. The blankets shown are small fleece sizes for babies and there are also stroller blankets which are the perfect size for the cat carrier, kitten box, or to set on a chair cushion for a small cat to lie on.




I thought this blanket would be a good way to protect my chair from pet hair. Plus a good way to keep a cat or dog warm and cozy during the winter months.

Here is the design that I like. The pink cat and dog pattern is adorable and there is an area to add the pet's name or other words. My friend got a new Pomeranian and this blanket would make a darling gift for her new dog.

Cute Pink Pattern Pet Blanket, Cat-Dog Stroller Blanket

The pet blankets are available in larger sizes at Zazzle. The larger sizes are useful in cool rooms or in garages. 

Fold the blanket over and lie on the floor and this will prevent the cat or dog from feeling cold. If you have to take your cat to the veterinarian then cover their carrier with the blanket and the cat will feel less anxious while riding in the car.



Cats may be hesitant about lying on the blanket so I would recommend that you spray it lightly with liquid catnip and your cat will love the fleece blanket. When the kitty approves then they will think of the blanket as theirs. 



Shop at Zazzle for the baby blankets because this size is perfect for a small dog or cat they are the perfect size 39’ in length by 28-inch width. the print is on one side and the back is a solid color. 

The blanket is made from 100% polyester fleece that is soft to the touch. When my cat is cold she will lie under the fleece blanket.



Know that if you prefer to design your own pet blanket you would click on the link under the product image (see below) and customize the blanket with your own text.

 I found this pet blanket at Zazzle and thought it was super cute.

Disney Mickey and Minnie Gift Ideas



Disney Mickey and Minnie products are loved by young and old because they bring out the kid in us and also create a happy memory. Whenever I see a Mickey and Minnie or other mouse products I always think of the time I went to Disney World with my family and I remember wearing mouse ears, a mouse pattern t-shirt, and those cute mouse pattern sneakers. For me, a Disney gift is as American as apple pie and it is a gift that guarantees a smile.


If you feel the same way about Disney products then I know you will love these gift ideas. Here are a few of my favorite Mickey and Minnie and other Disney gift ideas for Valentine's Day and beyond.

Fabulous Red Legging Outfit

When you think of a legging outfit many women assume that this type of clothing is intended for activewear. However, leggings are meant to be worn to exercise but also for shopping, hanging out, and more.

Legging outfits are no longer solid bottoms with print or plain tops. There are many colors and patterns to choose from which makes wearing a legging outfit more fun.

Plus depending on the quality and the design of the legging you may be able to dress it up by wearing a boyfriend sweater, blouse, jacket with accessories and heels. Or dress it down with sneakers or sandals.

Legging outfits are being shopped to replace the jean look. Don’t get me wrong women still love their favorite jeans, but many do prefer the fit and the comfort of a legging outfit.
Know that Zazzle.com came out with a fabulous activewear clothing line and there is a legging that fits and feels fabulous. The tank tops are not skimpy and are cut for women. Very flattering for women who are curvy.
I prefer to wear leggings with a hoodie and a boyfriend sweater in the winter so I did design a few legging outfits with matching tops. Today I created a red pattern legging outfit from one of my digital designs. The abstract pattern has the primary color of red, but there are also blue and black which means you can mix and match with other colors in your wardrobe.
Here is a fashion set that I created at Polyvore. It shows you a doll wearing a red legging outfit. I coordinated this outfit with black accessories and you can see that you can dress it up or wear it as a casual outfit. Change out the boots for black sneakers, then wear a black jacket and you will look fabulous.

Here is a yoga legging outfit that I put together with the red pattern tank top and solid black leggings.  This is a great look for women who prefer to not wear skimpy activewear,

Zazzle Activewear Product Review



I have been shopping at local stores and online for workout outfits and have not found anything that I liked because the tops that go with the legging prints are too skimpy and I would prefer a cotton t-shirt with the same design as the legging.


If I were younger say in my mid-twenties and not married the body-hugging activewear tops to show off my abs would be okay but I am married and this type of clothing is not what I am shopping for.

I found legging outfits online at Walmart.com and Amazon.com but the active-wear tops/leggings were plain, solid colors and no patterns. Then I learned that zazzle sells active wear and I found that the leggings and the matching shirts and tank tops were fabulous.

What I like about Zazzle is you can shop for activewear leggings and shirts that have been designed by a variety of artists or you can make your own by uploading a photograph. This means that the colors in your top will match your leggings perfectly. 

About Zazzle Leggings


When you buy a Zazzle legging you are not only getting a work of art, you are also buying a unique style and a legging that is extremely comfortable.
Know that the leggings are made by hand and are printed before they are sewn. The leggings are quality-made products that I know you will love.

I have worn a lot of leggings and many of them looked nice but were uncomfortable. This is not the case with Zazzle leggings, the fabric is medium weight heavier than most leggings, however, it does stretch to fit your body comfortably.

Those other store-brand leggings become stretched out after a workout, or a day of shopping at the mall and they never regained their shape. You will be happy to know that leggings do keep their shape and when you launder them they look new when you follow the laundry directions, then your leggings will not fade. I laundered it in the delicate cycle and then hung it to dry.

You can wear Zazzle activewear leggings to the gym, yoga class, or for an everyday casual outfit. The legging outfits can be dressed up or down, worn with flip-flops, sneakers, or heels for a fashion legging outfit.



See black leather-look legging dressed up. This legging fashion look is fabulous.






If you want a unique legging; leather look, snakeskin or other prints for exercise and beyond then shop at Zazzle for designer looks.

Design Ideas for Outdoor Living Space



Today I was talking to a friend of mine and they asked me if I had any ideas on how to .make their outdoor living space more exciting. She told me that her house was white with black trim and the deck matched the home's color scheme. They had a black table and stainless steel grill.  She thought the overall ambiance was drab.

Know that when interior space is small or drab I always update the space with yellow and green color accessories. So I did not have to think about her request I knew that yellow accessories would make her deck cheerful.

Add yellow and green to the black color Scheme to update and add interest

I suggested that she paint her patio table and chairs black and then change out the cushions to sage green, beige, or pale yellow. A solid seating cushion would be better than prints because it allows you to accent the seating printed outdoor pillows.


The deck featured a stone fountain and container gardens with primarily green plants growing. I suggested that she buy colorful ceramic tiles to add to the base of the stone fountain or do a line of tiles down one side to add color and interest. As for the planters, I thought a climbing rose bush in pink or red or a Clematis vine growing in a container with a trellis would look nice.


Another way to brighten a gray deck would be to add an outdoor area rug in a yellow print with touches of green and gray.  Here is an outdoor design that I created for my friend, Click these links to view the accent pillows; Sage and gold circle, green linen texture, and yellow linen texture pillow are from my Zazzle. store
