Christmas Time Crafts

I love ribbon...and I love Michael's for having it on sale!

-M.

Use wired ribbon, and cut into 20 inch strips

fold into figure-eight shape and staple the ends together

place each piece on top of each other, rotating each new piece to ensure a circular pattern

as you get closer to the center, use 10 inch strips and sew all pieces together

sit back and admire your work

William Blake

The marriage of art and poetry is a tough one to keep in harmony, and like any marriage, when the two fit together, they make for wonderful moments of genius.

Naughty or nice...you decide.

Dapper Kitty

Dapper Kitty...he's so handsome.  Always in attendance at the midnight grass party, all nine lives intact, each swing of his tail an invitation to adventure.  Champion bare-paw fighter, his moustache is always neatly groomed and never a whisker out of place.  He thinks it tacky to enter a room before any molly.  His awesomeness needs no clowder.

A lone and agile hunter, he has a collection of rare birds, each caught in a single pounce and kept hidden away behind his favorite butcher shop, where he is greeted daily by a stroke to the spine and a bowl of cream.  On occasion, he leaves a sparrow on the doorstep as a thank you to the man with the strong hands and soft heart.

Crepuscular strolls make his eyes shine bright, scaring away would-be predators.  Should one have the gall to get within scratching distance, Dapper Kitty simply makes himself twice his size, emits a hellish howl, and scares away his competition.  With a lick to the paw and a rub to his face, Dapper Kitty turns around and heads back home, putting another daily adventure in the books, and looking forward to what the next day brings...hoping for a nice sunray bath to wash away the mustiness of the night.
