My bedroom

Finally my bedroom is (almost) finished. New paint and wallpaper sure help you to get used to the place.

The horror it was :

Now the land of cute and colors ^_^ (and blurry pix too...sorry)

My Chess challenge necklace

This week Audrone from Storm's Handicrafts chose "chess" for the European Street Team on Etsy.
Here's what I made. I really love this necklace. I think I'll make another one for myself ^_^

It is Queen Alice from Alice through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. Drawing by Tenniel.

On the kittens front, Bob, Frank and Zoé are doing well, getting all chubby.

One lovely blog award and the true meaning of sunday

This week my Etsyan friend Melt from Istanbul nominated me for this lovely blog award! Thank you so much, it is the first time ever that I am nominated :)

You can find her two wonderful shops on Etsy here and here.

Well, now I am supposed to nominate 15 other blogs...only I am still too shy to do it. So, if you're reading this and want to be nominated...you're it! ;)



And on this sunday morning, I think Bob Kitten has captured the essence of sunday

Kittens kittens kittens galore

What helps keep your sanity when the world is going mad around you?

Kittens!

My first adventure outside the "box"

Grey one is attempting a side escape

Almost free

Almost...

Aaaaaaaaah ....

Did he get out?

Huh, it sucks here...

Pikachu is totally unimpressed.
"It stinks and it looks venenous..."

He really DID get out, I can't see him but he no longer is in the box...

My new pieces

I made 2 new items...in between opening and shifting boxes.
The first necklace was made for alatvian 's challenge, "Cheap and Chic". Check all the entries on her blog.

The second necklace was made for the "Wild versus elegant" challenge. It was fun but very tricky to make. I like the result a lot ^_^ You can check the entries on Vilte's blog.

In the meanwhile the kittens are growing. They are just so chubby and cuuuuuute.
Nap time. Napping is an activity that requires the highest level of concentration!
And if you're a kitten, it's an art form!

Moving out

Wow, I can't believe I have been in the new house for a week already. And what a week. I am pooped. It's a bit hard to adjust to the new surroundings, but the cats make it home :) Home is where Pikachu is, right =^.^=
On monday the 18th.
8 AM the truck is there...

It feels odd to see the house get emptied of its furniture and zillions boxes (not kidding, the removers called for extra help LOL)

They were done by 5 pm but the cat move was just starting for us.
I managed to get 7 home on the first day. Got the rest but 2 on the second and had to get sneaky for the 2 remaining ones. I had to give them relaxing pills so I could catch them.
But it's all done now...and they all seem happy in the new house and garden.
On the second night I had a surprise...my new extra cat (the one the neighbours gave up ) gave birth on my bed. I was sleeping and suddenly felt something warm and wet on me...I opened my eyes to see Eugenie (the catmom) with a dark lump...lump was kitten #1.
She had 3 (only 3 I am saying with relief). And they are ADORABLE.

Arent' they just perfect...all fluffy and chubby :) ?
