And so does yarn. For the last couple of weekends, anytime I’ve been working on a project while sitting on the couch, a furball or two tends to sit by and watch. Or interfere.

I love how they look and how durable they become after the felting process. Little did I know, cats seem to love felted items as well. Doesn’t matter where I put them, one of the cats seems to find them, curl up and sit/sleep on them. […] Read more...

Seriously, it seems every year I do this. And by this, I mean I completely neglect my site and I get a little slackerish on the crafting. Lots of things have happened since I last updated in March.

Nova Scotia has not seen this much snow in years. It seems like we’ve been dumped on by snow at least once a week.
