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. Crazy kitten + grass + dirt would not equal a good combination in our house. Condo Cat Backyard - From Gardners 2 BergerSo sad because it really is a cute idea for indoor kitties.

craft room design – revealing my favorite place
I revealed my craft room/office when it was about 90% complete back in March.

More importantly, I share my craft closet with the kitties - their litter boxes are hidden in there since it is out of the way. While we have "pretty" Booda Dome litter boxes they are not really design … [Read more...]
ribbon, ribbon and more ribbon – diy ribbon organization
I have a craft supply shopping problem. At least I can admit it. It doesn't help that the hubby encourages it. Yes ladies, he is a keeper for sure.I LOVE ribbon.

My desk drawer system wasn't working at all so I was inspired on Pinterest to use a hanger to store my ribbon. Pulled out a hanger out of my closet and was thrilled with the … [Read more...]
crafty time
Crafty time project overload. That addicting little thing called Pinterest, is filling my brain with all sorts of wonderful crafty ideas I want to do. Problem is I can't seem to find the time to do them all. I end up making weekly daydreaming stops at Jo-Ann Fabrics and Michaels' to stock up but I haven't managed to finish anything. Just a glimpse of what I have in process...Pillow cases. Many pillow cases. All my pillow inserts have been sitting on the sofas throughout the house naked since … [Read more...]
