THE CATS MEOW!!!

My kitty Rajah (who likes to be called Rajah the great) had a vet appointment yesterday. He is quite old, 15 years, and about 17 months ago, the vet said they were pretty sure he had intestinal cancer. Put him on meds, gave him about 3 mos, well he is still kicking! He had a short hospital vet stay about 6 weeks ago, but since then new meds and he even GAINED 11 ounces this visit. I'm so thrilled!!!!! He is soon to be opening a shop on cafepress, lol. I know it sounds silly. But he has all sorts of pics of himself to share on tshirts, mugs, greeting cards etc. Doesnt most of the world love a funny cat?? http://www.cafepress.com/rajahsshop

So in honor of Rajah, I was looking for some kitty related items on etsy to feature here. I found this new shop with these totally awesome kitty cat looking hats. Very unique, wouldn't you agree? I think Rajah would find me quite gorgeous in one of these babies! Visit brokendelilahs shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5711107 and browse around at all the fun things. As i said, she is somewhat new to etsy, so be sure to show her lots of love. I love you kitty cat hat! :)

Another new shop struck me with some wonderfully lovely heart items (fused glass). And we know i have a hankering for those hearts. But in any event, the shop also happens to feature a kitty clock. Admiral glass has some wonderful pieces in her shop. You'd have a ball looking at all the glass. colorful and amazing. Admiral glass is also fairly new to etsy, but her stuff is so awesome, you'll want to be sure you take a peek and show her some love! http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5628885

On Bedrest

I'm on Bedrest and going stir crazy! Dr said I am borderline pnuemonia and since I have a history of pnuemonia. (yup, had it before, it sucks), they arent taking any chances. Sent me home to bed, with antibiotics and some of the most worst tasting cough syrup you ever want to taste. All I have to say is thank heavens for my laptop. So what am I doing besides blogging, sleeping, coughing and watching TV? Crocheting! yup Working mostly on crochet flip flops for summer. They were a pretty good seller in my etsy shop last year http://www.craftheart.etsy.com/ , and I am hoping for the same this year.

I'm also working on my fuzzy caterpillar bookworm bookmarks. I am surprised at how popular they have become, but I am glad. They are going to make great Easter basket fillers this year. Working on a twist to the caterpillar bookmark as well. Something different, but it has a long tail. Its still on the design table so to speak - squeak, squeak.

Looking for some other crocheted items? Try browsing some other etsy shops. You'll be surprised at what you find. And the quality of handmade is second to none. LazyT has some awesome hats in her shop. http://www.lazytcrochet.etsy.com You'll want to check her out.

I am constantly amazed at the treasures I find. I have been eyeing this little guy for a while now. Reminds me of my friend, Jenny. She loved giraffes. Her living room was done in a safari type theme, but her fave was the giraffe, and how excited she was when she was able to go to Busch Gardens and feed the giraffes, face to face.......well more or less. This little Georgie Giraffe though, is too cute for words. I know she'd love him! See what else is being offered at http://www.cicrafts.etsy.com
