NOVEMBER

I really enjoy November, because it's a great time of year. I love that it might snow, the leaves are still turning lovely shades of yellow, red, and orange, and I get to change my wardrobe to all of my warm comfortable clothes. Right now its kind of grey and really windy today, but hey it's November and I can't expect any less.

I also love November because it's the month before Christmas. I'm not a huge fan of all of the Christmas shopping, but because I do love the cute little decorations that you can get at this time of year. I work in retail and two weeks ago we started putting out the beginning of the Christmas stuff. I'm keeping my eye out for a really nice door wreath.  I also bought this really lovely reindeer head painted white and it has a lovely dish at the base of it's neck so you can plop your candies or jewelry in it.

This month I am also gearing up for Christmas time in my shop. I'm going to be working on some more new pieces to add for November, and I hope that everyone is wise this year and they shop early. Last year I had a lot of last minute shoppers who wanted to know if their item could arrive in a day or two. Please shop early if you plan to shop online.

What do you love about November?

Meow!

Ahh.. it's nice to be somewhat healthy again. I have an occasional sneeze here and there, but the Kleenex box isn't following me from room to room. I did have to go to work with it, and I was so exhausted yesterday that I took a 3 hour nap and woke up with a really bad headache. Then I watched a few old episodes of Game of Thrones, and went to bed at 11pm, which is really early for me. Today I feel good!

 So,today I was looking around for a cool gift for my cat Misha.She's pretty easy to please since she is just a cat. She really could use an id tag, but these were some cool gifts for your kitty that I thought I would share.

1. I do love the idea of this cat bed/home and hey, if you have an old Mac lying around and a cat who naps anywhere then here is a great project. If your not a DIY kind of girl then find this great idea by Atomic Attic , it's an Upcycled Apple Computer Pet Bed that they call Think Different.
 

2. Great personalized cat dishes by Sunshine Ceramics. You can get two custom made and personalized just for you kitties.

3. Bow Ties anyone? My cat might sport one, well I'm not too sure. If you have a really chill cat that would wear one of these with no fuss then check out Snoop Catty Cat for a tie,bow tie or even a tux.

 

 4. So this wouldn't work for Misha, but if you have a cat who loves to hang out in hard to reach places, then this wall bed is perfect. I love this idea and if my cat wasn't the type who likes to sleep in little nooks and cranny's then I would consider something like this wall mounted cat bed

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Cuddle Your Puggle!

 Puggle Time! That's my Puggle, isn't she a sweetie? She is this happy too!

Me and my Puggle (Pug Beagle Mix) spend a lot of time together, sometimes too much time. She follows me everywhere....my bathroom buddy that I never asked for. She sleeps with me on the couch,the bed and I can never eat anything without an audience.

Her name is Coffee. Ya I know, its a drink right? I wanted to name her Lily, but my husband thought it was way to sissy of a name to be yelling. Is Coffee any better? I guess it's more manly. It does suit Coffee since she is no lady. She makes guy noises, has the worst farts, slurps her water with no class and burps after every meal. Her nickname is "Beast". She will do something so gross that K and I will look at each other and shake our heads and one of us will just say "Beast." I'll post more pics and more about Coffee in the next little while.

So I have a soft spot for Puggles. If you blog and own a Puggle, I will instantly add you. I just love it when other people have Puggles too. A  little community....

Puggle Love! Here are some items that are all about the Puggle. There is not enough Puggle stuff out there, so get to work dog/illustrator people... I want to buy some of your Puggle sh*t!




1. Find this in African Grey and if you love animals, especially dogs, then you have to check out their really fun prints and they even have calendars!

  2. The Puginator shirt is by Sharp Shirter (love the name by the way). They even own a Puggle too! I love this shirt and they have a sweet collections of other really cool shirts too.

3. I really do like stained glass pieces, and I have a cat one hanging in my window right now. But I came across this fabulous Puggle piece, which surprised me. Who knew Puggles came in stained glass? This one rocks, and it's by Robin's Glass World. If you love animals and stained glass, the you will find that this is the right shop to get it from.

4. Greg Ham has these great woodburning pieces, this one is called Puggle Dee and Puggle Dum. I love the look of these two guys, and it reminds me of the good old days when Ren and Stimpy was on TV. 

5. Last but not least is a great gift for your man who loves his Puggle too. She Mugged Me is a great place to find a mug for your pet lover friend or family member.
