These are great projects. I don't have a fluff/fur ball baby myself but I might just have to try making one of these - maybe both for my neighbour who has a maltese/shitzu cross. TFS

I am definitely going to make a leash post - so much more fun than just a knob in the laundry room.
And the treat box gift set is just too clever! Busy, busy, busy!
