Cat nip time

Is that a whirling dervish?

Nope it is Ruby and Dott fighting over the cat nip I sprinkled over the carpet


Ruby is looking at me and thinking  "what are you looking at"

He comes mommas boy, he heard the racket the other too were making.

He is checking out that this big deal is the two girls split up as soon as Big Boy Calvin comes.

Sniffs it

Smells GOOOOD!

For Her, For Me, and For Show "My Mothers cats"


Ruby, Calvin and Dott

Dott is the spunky one that I often refer to as my monster. She follows me around and gets into what ever I am doing.

Ruby is Fluffy and demur and tolerates humans but prefers the company of cats. she follows Calivin around and tries to get his attention.

Dott loves to get under things and into things Bags, Boxes, the Bed

Her favorite toy is the fishing pole with the Feathers on it. I hooked it up with the couch so she always has it to play with but she sometimes pulls it out and brings it to the room I am in.

Ruby Loves the fishing rod with the ball that rattles a little and likes to play when she thinks no one is looking

Ruby and Dott are sisters they play together and they bath one another and fight over the catnip too


Calvin is 13 or 14 years old "him is a good hansom Kitty."

Birthday gift & Christmas gift Lady bugs

At my mothers request I bought some lady bug beads to make a gift for her friend Bernie.
I didn't have the energy right now to do the lamp working my self so I picked up a combination of lamp worked lady bug beads and Peruvian hand panted lady bug beads. I had all the other parts on hand already.

I used a large lobster claw clasp that is very secure because she has lost bracelets before. I also used two crimp beads per side to further make sure of the bracelet security. 

On this one I used fresh water pearls 

I personally prefer very simple earrings as such I made her one set that was just that.

these I made a little more complex with the Fresh water pearls

B-day cake for the Hippy Rasta Girlie

I make home made Icing for all out Birthday cakes because all of the can stuff have Cotton seed oil in them and my daughter is allergic to eating cotton. I didn't plan of the piece sign at first But I blobbed the blackish purple in the middle with other plans then quickly decided to drag it out as a peace sign.

Making Arrows



  
I made arrows this year I bought white fletching and with a sharpy I colored them then let them dry before I attached them using the fletching jig. I made 13 I lost 2 the first time I shot them.
I am going to wrap a string around the fletching to help hold them in place  though the abuse of shooting them trough targets.

I intend to clean up the mold and see how many I can make from it till it breaks. I am using a mold made from Plaster of Paris. I make Plaster Bricks about 3" X 3" then I carve them using cheep wood tools and some times a battery powered Dremel like tool that is used for glass etching engraving and manicures.
