A Long Overdue Update & Cute Kitten Pics!

Leave a comment

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted any kind of updates. For the past few years I really wasn’t super active with my shop due to personal reasons. Now I’m back and busier than ever! Many a kitty and puppy have been receiving gifts since their humans have been home under quarantine. 😉

This site is very out of date and I will be updating it over the next while and adding the new toys, masks, etc I’ve had available on my social media. It’ll take awhile and you’ll see some changes.

Okay, now onto why you’re really reading this…

Cute Kitten Pics!!!

Last night on Facebook I promised I’d share a series of pics I received this week of a kitten named Leroy playing with a bunch of toys his daddy got from me. He likes them all but his dad says the Zombie Head is his favourite. He plays soccer with it daily. 🙂

Please Note: Zombie Heads have not yet been posted online but are available upon request. They have a bell in the missing eye and were a big hit at last years ComicCon Holiday Edition. Word of mouth is how Leroy ended up with one.

Okay now here’s Leroy!

This past weekend DRC was at the Ottawa ComicCon Holiday Edition as a vendor. Thank you too everyone who stopped by the booth! There are going to be plenty of happy fuzzbutts and people this holiday season.

Mission Pawsible – Beat the Heat Online Auction

Leave a comment

Until July 16, 2017 Mission Pawsible is having an online auction! The proceeds of the auction go to help out two wonderful animal rescues in Ottawa, ON; The Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue and Furry Tales Rescue.

A word of why the rescues need help from the Mission Pawsible people;

‘Between the two rescues, there are over 200 cats in care with daily requests to take in more cats. The rescues cannot take in cats and help them find their forever homes without the funds to make sure the cats have been vet checked, vaccinated, spayed/neutered and microchiped. Adoption fees do not cover associated medical costs so fundraisers like this one help to bridge the gap.

Please help us make this auction a successful one so that more cats can be saved and find their forever homes!’

The auction is not just for cat lovers! Many of the items were donated by restaurants, jewelry makers, services, and the list goes on.

Bearly Work Creations and I donated a suPURRvisor basket to the auction.

The suPURRvisor basket is a  wicker basket with a pillow and a wooden sign for the front that says suPURRvisior that a small to medium sized cat can fit in.

In the basket is a pillow, a hand hooked wool rug called Fat Cat from Bearly Work Creations  and a number of crocheted things by me; a placemat, a Santa Paws stocking, and a Jingle Jangle toy.

Space Explorer Cat Discovers Alien Life

Leave a comment

Today I was tagged in a post on Instagram about Etsy finds. Turns out it was a happy pawstomer and his Alien Facehugger from the DRC Workshop.

Here’s an excerpt from the space adventurers log at sashimigradephotos ;

Log journal entry 1 [dictated]: I’ve been sent on an exploratory mission to Mars, the surface seems to be covered in white sheets. There’s a friendly pink lifeform that smells curiously of cat nip, let me get closer.
journal entry 2 [dictated]: Huge mistake, please send for help!

To see the accompanying pictures check out the post on Instagram!

Big News From the DRC Workshop

Leave a comment

As many of you know I’ve been mentioning some big things in store for Del Roba Creations. Today one of them got finalized. DRC will be at the Ottawa Pet Expo this year as a vendor!

Now I know some of you may be thinking “Why is this big news? It’s just another convention.”

Yes it is but, besides being the largest one I’ve done, the Pet Expo has added a new area this year that in my own small way I helped it come about. The Pet Crafter Marketplace!
