I Own Another Trailer~~ and Safe Pet Toys

It's good to dream right?  Well, I was gifted another trailer from my son this year.  Last year he gifted me an ornament that hooks up to Christmas lights.  This year he gifted me this one:

Isn't it darling?  I love it!  Now I own two.  They are not the kind I can go camping in, but dreams do come true.

Yesterday, in the center of completing more projects, my daughter reminded me that we dried catnip for cat toys.  So I hopped on my sewing machine chair and made several for the cats.
I wish all the photos came out.  However, they were rolling around and moving so fast.  Here is Jasper licking his pillow.  I took scrap material and made miniature pillows, and stuffed them with dried catnip (that grows wild on our property).  Tiger, another cat, was holding his pillowing between his front paws and rubbing it on both sides of his face.  We had so much fun watching them.

.....well, it's another day of working on projects....I better get to work.  The year is ending fast and my pile continues to grow.  I made a trip to the thrift store on my way to the grocery store (gulp).  I came home with a few more projects to re-purpose. I gotta quit doing that.  Ha ha ha ha!  Look for those updates on my S.C.R.A.P. blog in the near future.

Your little trailer is just too cute!
Jasper certainly looks to be "under the influence" of the catnip! LOL!!

I love the trailer! Adorable!!! I remember camping in one similar to that. Brings me back a ways, nicely.
And what a happy looking cat! I must remember to plant some new catnip this year. How do you get your cats to leave it alone while it grows!

I look forward to seeing the outcome of your re-purpose projects. I am just getting into that am an interested in all ideas.
Girl! you're doing a new project everyday! ...
I like the pictures of the cat-nipped cat.
I'm not great with photography and I only have a point a shoot Kodak...but try shooting the pets with the *children* setting. That way if they or the camera moves...not too fuzzy!

Like you I've got more than enough to re-purpose...but still I can't help myself when I see a good deal.

take care!

Do they hide theirs from the other cats. Mine don't like to share.
Michelle - the cats to share, but only when they are tired of it and need a break. One left one on the front room carpet and another one started rubbing all over it. SO funny to watch.
Kim I do have another blog (for SCRAP projects): http://scrapreusedandrecycledartprojects.blogspot.com/
Anna - we also have 3 barn cats that stay outside. They are very loving cats and we do bring them inside during extreme weather. They eat the catnip and well....deposit it in my flower beds (he he he!) I find it growing all around the barns too. To dry it, I had to hang it in the garage and keep it there until I was ready to stuff the pillows. I even had to stuff the pillows in the garage! Ha ha ha! We tried to bring it inside and the three inside cats went crazy over it.
Sweet kitty pic! And, the crocheted shawl for your daughter is just lovely! I think you did a terrific job!

Sending Happy New Year greetings!
Kindly, Lorraine

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
