Tax Return Time!

i ALWAYS do my taxes as soon as possible...and since we bought the house, there is always something to spend large chunks of money on. So remember way back at the beginning of this blog the bedroom we fixed up? A new and bigger bed was purchased (along with some drapes for the living room, but those just arrived today and i haven't even opened the package yet!).
Unfortunatly, or better yet, as you would expect, the kittehs think it is strictly for their benefit.


although i haven't snapped a picture of it yet, they seem to not mind sharing, so that's a good thing!

More Handmade stuff!

Finally was able to give Stef her Xmas gifts during an evening of fun and yummy rum laden drinks...so here are the final products...

A Recycled Sweater Bag:


A "Kitty" Dishcloth:

the pattern for the dishcloth is from Lisa Millan and TONS of patterns (both free and cheap) can be found at her blog DigKnitty Designs

mmmmmmm....Pizza

i like to cook. unfortunatly, i don't get to do it to any fancy extent very often...no time...no money...BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. but every once in a while one of the recipies i obsessivly horde screams out to be made. behold the Buffalo Chicken Pizza!

RIP Roy

Free Cat Toys!

i don't know about you, but my cats LOVE cardboard. They play on or in it, scratch it and chew on it. I found a site that sells some swanky cardboard scratchers, but they've got some DIY templates for cardboard cat toys! These should be fun!

Conan ROCKS!!!!!

i love Conan O'Brian....always have. I don't get to see the show much any more, but i happened to fall asleep Friday night on the couch and woke up to see this!


He needs to tour with the band...I would SO be there....LOVE the strike beard BTW

Happy Holidays!

Hope that you and yours had a wonderful holiday! Things were action packed here at the Bunker!
Decorating had to be done...behold the kitteh proof tree!


Next came a wonedrful new addition to the family...my niece..Sadie was born on December 18th. Seen here with big bro Spencer!

Projects needed to be finished...
A scarf for Pete...my own design. Simply a 2x2 rib with the stripes made to look like tube socks.


Ear warmers for Dad. These are designed to be worn under a bicycle helmet. The pattern can be found here.

I worked on a few other projects, but they haven't been given out yet, so i want to wait to post them.

Santa was good to me,

and even brought me a gallon of paint for the kitchen. Sherwin Williams Duration Interior, which by the way i'm going to highly recommend. It costs alot, but the coverage is amazing and barely smelled. Anyhoo...the color is called Slick Blue...a close match to a 56 Bel Air....it's more turquoise than this photo shows, and BRIGHT!!!! and i LOVE it!!!

I think i'm still recovering from it all, what with going back to work and all, so it was nice to have a quiet New Year's Eve....Happy New Year Everyone!
