CATS...CATS...AND MORE CATS!

Tired and lifeless after being crammed into a box and planted in

the basement for almost a year.

Now given new life and hopefully a new home.

Wreath number one.

I've been spending lots of time making holiday wreaths.



This one consist mostly of wooden and resin ornaments.

For as long as I can remember

I've been collecting cat ornaments.

I've put up at least one cat tree every year

for the past twenty years

with the exception of the last two years.

Lately I've been on to birds

and my taste has changed a little.

My big dilemma has been what to do

with all those cat ornaments.

Last year I tried my luck and designing some

holiday wreaths and selling them at our

Holiday Show and Sale.

I did okay,

so I thought why not use some of my cat ornaments

this year.

Wreath number two.

This one is compiled of some of my plush ornaments



I just overlapped them and went to town with the hot glue gun.



There are some really cute ones.

Wreath number three.

These are all really sweet ornaments, and yes I hate to let

them go. I figure the only people that will buy them are

cat lovers too so I can say goodbye knowing they

are going to good homes.

I'm definitely holding on to my absolute favorites,

I still use them

throughout my space.

Think about all those ornaments in your

basement or attic

that are not quite as special as before.

Create something.

You may want to keep it or give it away.

THE HELEN KELLER OF KITTIES

This is my sweetheart kitty Dixie.

She was found as a kitten in the Chattanooga Battlefield,

Chickamauga, thus the name.

Dixie has been with me for many years. Once an energetic, frolicking cat, now an

old slumbering soul.

Dixie had the most amazing blue eyes.
Two years ago she developed blindness in both eyes, we're not sure why, some trauma perhaps, She is mostly deaf as well, just from old age I guess.

Now, strictly an indoor cat, she manages to get around alright.

She has her favorite chair

and can still jump up on the bed to snuggle at night.
