Hauspanther

Really excited to find out my daughter's catnip mice toys she makes and sells on Etsy were featured in Hauspanther, which is an online magazine by Kate Benjamin for design conscious cat people!  Hauspanther has some really cool stuff so if you love felines definitely check it out.  Here is a picture of her Holiday Roundup: Valentine's Day Cat Toys which include my kid's floral catnip mice listed in her MauveMoose Etsy shop.

Baby hat and booties gift set, another treasury full of love and a dead fish

I'm always multi-tasking ... but sometimes it's better not too! Today was one of those days, you know the days I'm talking about. A million and one things on the to-do list and only 24 hrs in a day to get it done. So while I'm making dinner my kid decided to clean the big fish tank we have. I love looking at the fish but I hate cleaning the tank, always have always will ... heck I rather clean toilets then having to clean that tank. I think it all has to do with access to the darn thing. It's a very tall tank you see which makes it hard to clean. But my kid is taller then me now and can easily reach the bottom so she has taken on the job of cleaning the tank. I end up putting water back in it but that's the easy part. So while she was busily working on cleaning it I was making dinner while all the fish were removed and sitting in a bucket on the counter top, so Azriel and River (our cat and dog) wouldn't get the crazy idea to play with them. Well about 30 min later, dinner had been eaten and the tank was ready to get filled up with more water I stepped back into the kitchen to find one of our fish dead on the floor!!! So, I've given up on fish, my beta I replaced about a month ago, well his replacement decided he didn't like his new tank and died as well. I can't figure this out. We've always had fish and had them for years, for some darn reason we keep ending up with dead fish, which is a bummer because I do like my fish it's cleaning the tank I don't like.

Anyways, enough about dead fish ... I finally got a chance to take some pictures of my latest knitted baby hat and booties. These are really small so they are for a preemie or a newborn. I do love the colors I used in this set.

And ... here is the treasury I entered for the challenge as well. I love putting these together. Wasn't sure about the theme I wanted to use but I thought this to be an appropriate fit since the item of this week's challenge is a cool, cute print of a salt and pepper shaker from FlourishCafe shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/FlourishCafe?ref=seller_info and plenty of other cool items in the shop too pick from. Here is my entry for this week, hope you all like it.
