Well, what was I thinking doing a Bird and Nature Christmas Tree with a Bengal Cat? She was a baby kitten last year when I got her for Christmas and she only played with the lower ornaments! This is a 71/2 foot tree and she is almost to the top! After two weeks, not much was left on the tree and since it was artifical all the branches were sagging and out of there brackets. So out we went to buy a table top tree and I decorated it with only lights and bulbs, and all is well. I might add she does sit and look at the new tree and meows and meows for her old climbing bird decorated tree! Merry Christmas to all! |

Is That MY Cat in the Xmas Tree!!!
Dresser Set done in Barn Red
Barn Red, love love the color! could see the dresser as an
entry table, cadenza, or buffet!

Indian Corn Fall Decor DIY
 |
| I use to have a friend grow them for me! This year I did purchase them. You can find them in the fall at most grocery stores in the produce department! I just tied knots in twine and left loops to carry the corn! We have a stucco home, so I did not want to make a hole, especially with the hub wondering how I would put them outdoors! So, I did find a place to hang them from the light fixture. If their is a will there is a WAY! |
 |
| Take care and enjoy your Fall! |
sharing at these great parties!

Shabby Redo Dresser to TV Table keeper
 |
| BEFORE My husband said," keep this one," he saw a vision! He saw something I didn't for us Yes, I found the piece and knew the slight curved front, unusual knobs, and legs well would make a good redo! I was wanting a longer and just the right one for our TV BUT he was so sure on this one, so now we are happily enjoying it! |
 |
| This is an excellant easy stripper! You might not be able to tell by the picture, but the legs were painted thick gold! I wanted the natural wood to stain. |
 |
| I searched for a while for just the right knobs to add. The small curved square ones! I spray painted all knobs black and poly coated them. Now what shall I put in all those drawers, YES! :) Party sharing at: |

More Pussy Willow Decor Or is it Cat Tail Tutorial
Hello, I hope all is fine, I have been busy working on a Rental we have. One month of repairs, cleaning, and painting!
Being a Landlord is good
when the rent comes in, but Hell when most move!
This could be a post all in itself, but not fun to share!
Now, on to the Pussy Willow, or Cat Tails which most
call them! I am use to calling them, and like, Pussy Willow!
So I will be plantically
incorrect!
Wonderful to use in spring and summer flower arrangements.
Free, if they are near you?
They do last a long time.
 |
| In the Spring they pop up everywhere around my area. Our bike trails go all around them. I did a post last fall but wanted to share a tip I learned since then. After paint spraying them, they still will dry out and most will crack open to seed like the picture below!  |
 |
| This Year's Pussy Willow Fall Decor is yes, with pussy willow's again, but different and added the birds! |
 |
| OK these are cat tails, but Sheba was trying to play and tear off the tips! Most difficult, since she won't leave me alone to do my project! And the garage was Too Hot! |
 |
| I used this product to coat them before painting! it does dry with some crackle look, fine with me! |
 |
| I also did some with diluted Elmer's glue, which is less expensive and a smooth finish! Personal preference! |
 |
| Just sprayed some with orange and black spray paint, I am saving some for a Xmas Idea. I will post that closer to Xmas! Love those Pussy Willows |
 |
| If you have cats, you know how hard it is to get a picture without them! |
 |
| This is where I get mine! We have wildlife Marsh's and Cat Tail Fields. I am fascinated by these plants! Nature is there for us in abundance! |
 |
| Wishing you a Great Fall ! |
