New Collars for Nari and Mia ~

Bought Nari a pretty Sunflower collar.

Bought Mia a pretty handmade ribbon one, 

from the UK.
I bought both off Etsy and are break away collars.

The Tree and Kindle fire ~

Had a little energy the other night, with the cats happily trying to help.
Managed to put some of the ornaments up, many are handmade or gifts from friends and family.
Still a ways to go.

Also miss having a real fireplace.
What you see in the background is one of those
indoor vented propane ones.
Had it checked over but I can not breath at all when it is on and afraid it will hurt the cats so we do not use it.

So I thought to myself... wonder if Kindle has a Fire place App.  LOL... yes they do, sounds pretty good too.

Putz and the Treat ~

Putz really liked the treat I got her.... LOL.....  

tried to clean her tiny face off and every time I try, 

Poof goes her head into her shell.

Will have to give her a bath later today.

Succulents ~

DH loves succulents, so he picked some baby ones

out, well over a month ago.
This morning, I was going to pot them up no matter what.
Almost look like they should be in a Dr Seuss book.

Still have a little fine tuning to do, move the rocks around 

and such.
Pulse only went to 169 standing there for about 10 minutes but its better than it could be. 

Will need to use a tiny paint brush to brush the dirt off 

the soft fuzzy leaves.

Holiday Tree and Rose ~~

Gave up trying to find the old tree skirt, so bought a new one.
Keep the lights on most of the time because they bring a

 big smile to my face.
Still need to put ornaments up.

Think I left Rose plugged in to long. LOL

She approves and decided it is a great place to take a bath.

Christmas tree ~

We have not put up a Holiday tree in years.
This year, I wanted to do something.

Asked friends and family about fake trees and was surprise how many have them. 

Pretty fast and easy to assemble but takes a lot of time to fluff up the branches so to speak.

Not as full as I was hoping for, sure a little more time moving branches around will help.

Over the next couple of weeks, will put the hand made ornaments up.

Does put a big smile on my face.  :O)

Trees and plants ~

 I was good when DH took me to the Nursery plant sale this morning. 

Super great deals too.
This year is a little more special... my once a year half price tree, turned into 2 trees and a few other plants!

1 male ginkgo tree, 1 Rose bush, 1 Clematis,1 Japanese anemone, 2 wintergreen plants and a Fiddle leaf fig for my Art room.

Was hard, because soooo many other plants wanted to come home with me. LOL....

 Still need to get the outside ones planted, 

but DH has to do that.  :)
