Cat Food Cuteness (it can be there too!)

I seem to be on a never ending search for quality cat food, cringing at ingredients (taurine????), and saddened by a seemingly lack of interest in appealing to the consumer (that's us, the cat food BUYERS).
So, although my cats might stick their noses up to yet another quality brand, I am delighted with my new finding of TIKI CAT food. Immediately enamored by the packaging, and just as in love with the ingredients and comments. I think I might just get some...... <3

Adorable Earmuffs, Anyone?


I was thinking about how COLD I am and hard it is to look cute while trying to stay toasty, and then I found THESE!!!
I was even happier to see they aren't a fluke, the whole shop is major cuteness.
Major plus for kick ass models.

This is the perfect little basket for your desk......and a great way to use up a fat quarter. The pattern Sometimes Crafter uses makes this look so easy! I really want to give this a try, once I get caught up on my mini-quilts.




When the crafting bug first hit last year, I bought a ton of fat quarters and even making a dozen of those coffee cup cozy things, I still have soooo many of them left. I sometimes despair of ever using them all! Unlike the majority of other crafters, I don't want a large fabric stash, so while I still find myself drawn to the fat quarters on Etsy...I resist!


Now, yarn is the new fat quarter. :D

I am nothing if not ambitious


Found the perfect pattern for my entry in the harvest festival for combined charities......considering I have never attempted anything harder than a crude cat face on a pumpkin, this is really going to be stretch.....but classic cars! My fave tv show! What could be cooler?

Crafts for Critters!


Final tally (including last minute sale) $636. Floatytoes, I think we are single-handedly raising the bar for combined charities cuteness--first our tea party, now this. Today at the HS staff were so appreciative, and after feeding all the dogs, it really struck home how much $$ it takes to keep that place a float. Those dogs eat alot!


UPDATE! FINAL TOTAL IS $656.00

Yarn sale! Obese kittahs not included!


Joann's is having a sale on the Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick yarn--buy one, get the second at half price. Naturally, I left with two gi-normous bags full...I felt like a yarn-hoarder or something.

Acorns are the new mushrooms!


These are just adorable....what is it about acorns that appeals to folks so much? To add to the cuteness--they're actually tiny boxes that rest coyly on their sides....from wood worker Max Wood Creations on Etsy.
