The Cat's Meow

Boy, wouldn't Danny the kitty love to get his paws on this bird. This is my latest needle-felted friend made from wool that I cleaned and combed and dyed all myself. Woohoo for me, right?? Speaking of wool take a look at this little teeny mousie....don't tell the kitty....but he's made from Danny's very own cat fur.

 Shhh!!

Darn it all, I think he heard me. THAT'S RIGHT Danny-boy....you better be making some fur 'cause I'm going to USE IT ALL. You're going to be one Naked Kitty.

Just KIDDING Danny!! (He panics easily).

I joined these parties, check them out and be inspired!!

Petal For Your Thoughts

Do you see the flower petals in the piggy bank?? I love that the Munchkin considers them to be of just as much value as coins. Preschooler logic: coins are saved because they are special and important ergo these flower petals are just as special and important and must go in the piggy bank. Wouldn't it be great if we could barter petals?? As adults we have learned to take money so seriously. This picture (and the thought behind it) really touch my heart.

Clothespin Wreath

Here my latest attempt to cover the bare spots on my walls (or maybe, the crayon marks??). This is a really simple clothespin wreath. I had seen it somewhere recently, a little different that mine in contruction, and the painting was more of a rainbow of colors and less a work with blue shades. Unfortunately, I don't remember where I saw it and a google image search didn't give me any clues. If you think it may have been *you* who inspired me with the project, let me know so that I can credit you accordingly.

To do this project you need:

Wire wreath frame

Cloth (long strip)

Clothespins

Paint

~Paint you pins however you would like. I enjoyed doing shades of blue, but they are plenty of other options. Let them dry.

~Use the cloth to wrap around the frame, over and over, until all of it is covered. 

~Start pinning those pins on. I think it looks great if you make enough of them to have them close together.

And....you're done. That easy!!!

Here are some parties I linked up to....check them out and be inspired!!!!
