Hair Raising—Yes!
While changing the sheets on the bed the other day I pulled up the blanket and my fingernails went through the material. Now this Velux blanket has given me many years of service but it was definitely time to replace it. So the purchase of the new one allowed me to examine the old one to see if anything could be salvaged.
Behold a little time spent with the sewing machine and Brandy’s crate has not only a new cover but also a matching pad to sleep on. I was on a roll now so it was out to the truck with a piece of newspaper and a pen to mark out a pad to fit over the console cover. By using elastic bands I was able to secure the pad in place yet still allow the lid to snap closed.
All three items are machine washable so keeping them clean won’t be a problem. But I did discover one problem when we went for a ride today. I happened to look over and the hair on Brandy’s ears was standing up. Hopefully a couple of washing will correct that!
