Faery Houses and Kitty-Cats

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Yesterday I looked out my front window and saw Fluffy asleep in a chair, with both of her newest kittens piled asleep on top of her.  What a sweet little sight! 

Usually the kitties all get up and run to the door when it’s opened, but not this time.  This must have been a really, really good catnap.  The little kittens did not even stir.  And Fluffy only yawned really big a couple of times and then shut her eyes again.

Aren’t they sweet?  And to think we weren’t going to have anymore cats.  Even Hubby likes them.  Outside, of course.

On a more crafty note, my sewing/craft desk is such a mess right now!

But between homemade gift tags and doll house stuff it’s bound to be!

I want to learn to make books with pages, and not just a piece of cardboard in the center.  This one’s cute and of course it will go on the shelf with the others, but I must get them to lay flatter.

Oh yes, I did say Faery House, didn’t I?

Remember the shelf I took the door off of?  It is slowly turning into a two-story faery house.  The flash from my camera shows every wrinkle in the paper background, but it’s really not that bad, I promise.  Plus there are other layers and accessories to go in.  My decision is this:  Should it be a one-faery home or a two-faery home?  I’m thinking two.  There’ll be more posted at homemadedollhouse.blogspot.com as these projects progress.

And finally, we started trying to get a picture for our 2008 Christmas cards.  This one may have to do, as it’s so hard to get all the kids together at one time and have them all (semi) smiling at one time.

The children’s heights are not accurately captured in our pictures, as they are standing on a set of steps, but I’m sure you figured that out!  ;)

Thought you might want to compare to last year.

You see I have one who just doesn’t smile as easily.

Wishing you simply Happy Holidays.
