Now that we are into March it is official autumn! It doesn’t quite feel like autumn yet though because the days are still quite warm. We had a funny end to summer actually this year because February was uncharacteristically mild. We have had some fairly warm days but they haven’t been as hot as usual. Plus the nights have been nice and cool and that seems to make a big difference. It’s a bit of a contrast to last February which was very hot and uncomfortable! Actually last February was … [Read more...]
Links I Love from January
This summer seems to be just flying! I can’t believe that we are into the last month of summer! It seems like only yesterday it was the start of January and now we’ll be into autumn at the end of this month! When I was a kid the summer holidays seemed to last forever. Now the weeks, months, and even years just seem to disappear so quickly! Perhaps time goes faster as an adult because we have more that we are trying to get done! One part of summer that I still have to look forward to is … [Read more...]
Links I Love from October
If you’re looking for some great recipe, craft, DIY, or gardening inspiration then you need to check out these awesome links that I saw during October! Oh my goodness I can’t believe that it‘s November already, where did the year go! All the shops are starting to fill up with Christmas displays but I am trying to avoid looking at them just yet. Actually I have a niece and a nephew that both have birthdays this month so I will be doing some shopping for birthday presents before I think about … [Read more...]
Links I Love from September
If you’re looking for some baking, craft, DIY or gardening inspiration then you need to check out these awesome links that I saw during September! The Links I Love feature photo this month is a bit misleading. It was taken on one of the very rare sunny days that we had last month. In actual fact September was very wet here! I will admit, we did have a few days that were sunny and spring like, but most of the time it was either raining or very dull and grey! When the weather was nice I … [Read more...]
Easy Homemade Sock Cat Toy
If you want to make a cheap and easy cat toy from items commonly found around the house you can’t go past these homemade sock cat toys! Both of our cats still love the cork cat toys that I made last year but Wally in particular needs lots of mental stimulation. That means that the toys he plays with need to be varied quite often! I recently decided to make up another cat toy using old socks. Wally likes to play with my old shoes (see here) so I thought that he would love an old sock! I … [Read more...]
Links I Love from November
Welcome back to another Links I Love post where I share some of my favourite links from the previous month. Today I am looking back at some of the great posts that I saw during November. My featured photo this month is paying tribute to our vegetable garden which is roaring back to life now that we are officially into summer! The tomatoes that are pictured were from a volunteer tomato bush that popped up at the end of last summer. I managed to keep the plant alive over winter inside a cold … [Read more...]
Cheap and Easy Cat Toys
These DIY Cat Toys are so cheap and easy to make they are practically free! Plus unlike bought cat toys, cats will actually play with these toys! How many times have you bought a toy for your cat only to get it home and find that your cat or cats just ignore it? It has happened quite a few times in our house and the result is that we have a box of cat toys that the cats are not interested in! The problem is you never know what toys will take their fancy until you get them home :( What is … [Read more...]
