What our hands hath wrought

Pets can be quite expensive, so we have tried - in our very cheap way - to DIY. Thankfully, our two projects this week have come out pretty well. Here is our newest toy - the "bird" - that Norah loves, and even hunts and begs for when we put it away. She can really jump and twist as she pounces on it! It was quite cheap, as it is simply a dowel rod, some lightweight twine, and a few feathers glued together.










Next up, the major building project! Cat trees are super expensive in the store, and we were wary of buying a used on, as it might have fleas or other not so nice guests. We thought we could do it ourselves... and we did. Some of the supplies were in our basement(sound familiar?), and some needed to be bought. Ever wonder what to do with the carpet you take up in previous home-improvement jobs? Recycle!

We have someone's used carpet on our basement stairs. Why not? Except for the fleas and stains, we have enjoyed the carpet. :)
