What an idea



My sister gave me the idea of a cat mat. I never heard of one of these and I searched on Etsy and there they are! Well I had to modify the idea so...............................................

I used scrap yarn to make a rug with some toys for her to play with. I made a sachet for the catnip that has a drawstring for easy removal so it is completely

MACHINE WASHABLE &

DRYABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The test, well see for yourself......

she loves it.

I will be making and posting these on etsy soon.

Busy, busy, busy
















I've not been feeling well so I have a lot to catch up with. I spent most of the morning checking out some links from my friends on googlepages. There are some talented people out there and I was inspired to get a move on.



My mother embroidered these little sachets with ribbon....
I put rose scented potpourri in them and the whole house smells like roses.

She finished a small skunk that I also have to post but the little skunk looks too cute with the big door stop skunk, one she had made me previously. I'll get over it eventually.


I decided to use up some cool yarn and take a shot at a purse or two or three..... found these magnetic closer and Bam....what do you think? I'm not sure how much I should charge for anything!





This one I used velcro and it works but the clutch I used the magntic closer...couldn't get the stupid picture on here. Having a dada moment, I'll have to ride it out.


WHAT TO DO WITH SCRAP YARN, VOLTIVE CANDLE HOLDERS AND GLASS BOWLS

Make snowmen that don't melt. Easy to do. A little enamel paint, clear glass glue and fiberfill!

TaDa....

ORANGE

I always thought my favorite color was red but I guess its about your color personality. I was afraid to take it since my attitude , my lifestyle, my opinion of myself since being diagnosed with a frustrating disease with no cure or answers. MS has taken over my life, I fight daily to make some sense of it and to try to keep the humor that I guess some take as weird. Needless to say I have to say orange is my color personality. What is yours?!
I have to thank DANCINGMOONEY for this colorful outlook into myself.lol
