After a couple of hours and a trip to Lowe’s, we have successfully installed a hanging pot rack! And by “we”, I mostly mean Gene. He was a trooper, going up and down the ladder, marking and remarking, drilling and raising. I’m sure his neck is sore from looking up for so long but we … More Hanging pot rack
While deciding what to do yesterday, we discussed the idea of setting up a catio, something I’ve been wanting to do for Pippin since we got the house (a cat door has been sitting in our closet for some time). Lydia was all for it so after many minutes of figuring out what we were … More We have a catio!

Yesterday I took a sewing class and learned how to sew a tote bag. I had taken the plunge and signed up for it a couple weeks ago. I’ve been wanting to get into sewing and eventually learn to make my own clothes so I figured with my pay raise a couple months ago, now … More Homemade tote bag

Then this past weekend I got some curtain clip rings to allow for even easier movement of the curtains. They’re looking … More Upgrade to the curtains
Yesterday Gene and I made our own cat scratching posts for Pippin. I bought a piece of wood and sisal rope at Lowes for a total of $9. Gene cut the wood in half, I wrapped the sisal rope around each piece and boom, scratching posts. One is now nailed to the wall in the den … More Homemade scratching post
