The Days Are Dark But The Cats Are Warm

Today was pretty gloomy, but that is okay. I have my cats to not only keep me company, but to keep me warm. 

My New Amazon Storefront

As most of you know, my cats are very important to me. I love documenting them in photos and video. 

I am so excited to tell you, I was just accepted to the Amazon Influencers Program. I now have a storefront where you can see my fav cat items. 

So what does this all mean? It means you can see the items that I buy for myself and that I think are super cute. If you like them too you can buy them off of Amazon. I get a small commission on qualifying sales. This income will help me get feral cats to the vet and help pet charities and pet owners in need. 

So consider checking it out!

Painting a Mural

I have been fixing up the North Garden. I really neglected it after Dobby died. So today I started the background for a mural in his honor. Working on big fluffy clouds. This is going to be a long haul project. Took me two hours to do the little bit I got up. I still need to finish all the colors of clouds and then add details. I will keep you updated on the progress.

The dollhouse is waiting for me to not be doing other stuff. The kittens have been adopted except for the grey one. We named her Miss Mochi Mo da Super Beau. She is a doll. I am thankful for her and my other cats.

Staying Busy

I know it has been awhile since the last post. I haven’t working in the dollhouse due to tiny kittens being kept in the room my dollhouse is in. They were so worth it. 

The two older babies went to their new home a couple days ago. The little grey one is younger by about 3-4 weeks and is going to my granddaughter. I am going to miss these scamps!

My garden has continued growing like crazy. I do have to spend a good amount of time on pest control. Aphids, cabbage loopers, squash bugs, tomato worms. I have them all and they drove me nuts! I don’t want to use pesticides so hand picking, heavy spaying with water and dish soap are my go-tos. Makes me tired, but I deserve to eat those veggies, not the bugs.

I also grew sunflowers for the first time this year. How the heck have I never grown them before? 

You can be sure I will grow them again next year.

How has your summer been? Have you grown a garden, done craft? Let me know!

Grab Bags! The Dollhouse Saga

I am so excited! The $5 grab bag I ordered from Just Miniature Scale arrived! I bought four bags. They did an excellent job of mixing it all up. 

There are a few items that I am not keeping. I might do a giveaway. Let me know what you think!

More Harry Potter: The Dollhouse Saga

My Etsy order finally arrived! I ordered the cutest stuff from Shrinking Violet Creations to finish off the Cupboard Under the Stairs. She packaged it all so nicely.

The little stickers are so unbearably cute! I am going to make a placard with them. 

Here is a sneak peek at part of the room

I need to make a side table to hold the pot of tea and the issue of the Quibbler. Also thinking of making a tiny scarf and the stand for Hedwig still needs to be made too. At least I can make those at the dining room table so as not to bother the kittens.

Late Spring Garden

Today was a huge harvest from my garden. I started a garden subscription box to maybe add a little variety to what I grow. I saw leaf’d box  on Facebook and decided what the heck, it could be cool. had never grown endive or radicchio and was excited at how beautiful they grew

Radicchio 

Endive


I have so much of these so I searched for recipes. Here are two I plan on trying.

 

Quick Sauté with Chicken and Endive

Roasted Radicchio

I also harvested bunching onions, lettuce, fennel, cabbage, beets, bok choy, and kale. So. Much. Kale. Thank goodness I love it!

Almost forgot the beans and peas! I am making pickled beets and can’t wait to eat them.

Soon I will have tons of squash as the blossoms have started forming. Yum! The broccoli has also started making tiny florets. 

Happiness achieved.
