Now that is is finally October, I can start decorating the outside of the house without the neighbors thinking I'm crazy. I didn't have any front door decor in my stash of Halloween decorations from the old house so I decided to make a wreath.This was a fun and easy wreath to make. A simple yarn base, some bats and a Trick or Treat mini banner along the inside.I simply wrapped the black yarn tightly around the entire wreath form. After I was done I went back and wrapped a gray piece of yarn … [Read more...]
lazy mutt bed – tin bucket dog bed tutorial
I ended up buying a large white beverage tin with the intention of making something for the creatures. I really, really, really wanted to make this kitty play area for Annie based on this post from Gardners 2 Bergers but then we adopted Lemur.

this is halloween – sparkly skulls
I'm not sure what it is with my cats but apparently all the Halloween stash items are considered perfectly acceptable toys. This time it was Annie, my eleven year old pirate cat, who is turning into a kitten again since we introduced Lemur. I've seen some Martha Stewart kits for glittered skulls. I didn't look at great detail of what they contained but I had picked up these plastic skulls in a bag for under a dollar awhile back. Last year I scored some Martha Stewart Halloween glitter on super … [Read more...]
