Caturday ... with matching luggage!

Here are our two gorgeous cats. Above Patch has snuggled himself into my overnight bag.

And here are the two guys (Leo and Patch) cuddling on the suitcase - one of their favorite spots.

That's all for today. I'm working on a big project that's taking a lot of my extra time. Hope you like the pics. :)

Crafty Projects: Cat Pillow

Here is a simple (but rather tedious) crochet project I did for my cat (Leo). Actually it is for both of our cats, but I'll admit to a little favoritism. Leo is my cat from before getting together with my husband. Leo and I have been together about seven or eight years now. (I'm not good with remembering anniversaries or birthdays either!)

Anyway, my idea was to crochet a pillow case to turn a regular pillow into a comfy cat bed/pillow. I didn't think about it until I started measuring that pillow cases are huge!! When I was out crocheting in the dentist's waiting room someone thought it was a blanket. And my little dachshund kept trying to cuddle under it while I was working on it. :) It was an easy project though, just single crochet with stripes to make it more interesting. I did each side separately and then sewed them together.

Here he is just getting used to it. I know he might rip it up a little. He does have all his claws. But if he likes it, then it's worth it!

Introducing New Shop!

Many of my readers know that I've been away from home for quite a while spending time with my mother. Well I've been back for a while and slowly getting things back to normal.

One project I've been working on is getting my second shop up and running. And here it is http://dragons4pets.etsy.com:



Some of you might have ordered handmade pet treats from me before. I had these listed in my shop a while ago, but they didn't fit with the overall theme of my main shop at http://dragon06.etsy.com. So I decided the treats were popular enough to justify opening up a new shop devoted to pets. :)

Introductory Sale

And now the exciting part ... As an introductory offer from my new shop I'm having a 20% off everything sale!! This sale is effective immediately and lasts until Monday, January 12th at 9 a.m. (EST). All prices have already been marked down for the sale.

So all of you pet lovers out there drop in and get something special for your critters!
