My Little Taco
A friend of ours had a Cinco de Mayo/May the Fourth Be With You themed birthday party, and Odie was cordially invited to boost the Mexican atmosphere. Everyone was encouraged to wear a costume, and Odie was no exception. A black dog sweater, felt fabric and some ribbon lead to a pretty cute little taco. Unfortunately she was feeling a little under the weather the night of, but that didn't stop us from making a card.

Arts & Crafts
This week I made a pillowcase for a cat. I'll tell you why. Our cat Lance is a bit of a weirdo--a recluse, if you will. He spends most of his time in our bathroom shelf.
When we moved in, we kept towels in there. When it was down to one towel, Lance made himself at home. Since he wouldn't stop going in there, and no one enjoys cat hair on their towel, we decided that shelf would be his. We had a regular pillow that I was going to just throw out, but instead, I decided to make him a pillow case so he could sleep on something a little more comfy than an old Harry Potter towel. I had some paw print fabric that I never used, and after some quick measuring and what seemed like an entire day of sewing by hand, I turned it into a pillow case.
After vacuuming a serious amount of cat hair out of the shelf, I put the pillow in. It fits pretty good, and I'm glad it's a little plump, since it will have a 10 lb. cat on it for approximately 18-20 hours a day.
The final step was to see if Lance likes it. He was pretty mad at me for having the vacuum out, so don't judge by the look on his face. I put the pillow in about an hour ago, and he's still in there.
