Furry Friend Friday

This week's winner is Maggie Moo. This cute kitty is shy but once she comes out of her shell demands attention any time you pass by. She prefers to stay on counters, cat trees, and tables to avoid the evil Weebles Monster (aka dog). I think she could really do some damage on him and then he'd leave her alone but she prefers to run which makes for a great chase. Maggie is the only cat so far not on any type of prescription, diet or medication, in the house. Lets keep it that way Mags!!!
She has a hard time holding still because she really wants love!

Work in Progress Wednesday

I have most recently been experimenting with crochet and plastic bags. First I make yarn by cutting the bag's bottom off. Then I cut the bag into think circles and attach the loops together forming my "yarn".  I was thinking of a change purse for this granny square. Working on a clasp idea. Also planning on taking three layers of square bag and ironing it together and then sewing it to form the liner. I was also thinking of making sturdier grocery sacs that are lined so they are pretty leak proof and reusable but collapsable.

What else can I make from plastic bags?

Tuesday Surprise

I had a simple day planned. Get up, have breakfast, shower, go to work and drive vehicle to the Ford dealership and meet Richard for lunch. I was interrupted just when I got out of the shower. I find Weebles munchin away on Hot Shots Ant Bait.

No worries because it's well within the safe range. However, I wasn't positive of this until well after I was supposed to leave so 20ml of peroxide and 20 minutes later he vomited his breakfast. (seemed like it took forever) and all was well. Now I guess he didn't really have to vomit  but I wasn't positive so better safe than sorry. Now after a couple hours he's had a snack and won't remember that the reason he had to be sick was because he ate something he shouldn't. It's a good thing he's really cute. :)

Top 3 Picks of the Week

I've decided to start adding photos instead of just links. These photos are not mine but I'm excited about my top 3 picks this week (in no particular order).

These felted bowls by thefuzzymonkey are adorable! I would want all 3!
This skirt by Salts is so cute and also eco-friendly!!
I broke down and picked a ring again. I think I could wear rings on every finger and still buy more. This ring by DistortedEarth is very sophistocated yet casual, love it.

Here I was minding my own business, checking my usual blogs when bam! As Smee says in Hook, "Lightning came down and struck my brain."

Thank you Tangled Happy for the awesome patterns!

Furry Friend Fridays

This week is dedicated to my dog Kodi. Kodi came along as a house pet when I was 17 but has since been converted to a farm dog. He does not eat many people's lunch out of their truck these days but he is certainly a big part of my parent's house. He's even getting better letting me trim his nails.

Roses in all colors

I have been looking at the Instructables website for inspiration. I found 2 options for flower types that I am very excited about.

What could be better than...



I also saw this really cool way to jazz up some ordinary christmas lights.
