Bagheera's Back!


Well I picked up Bagheera from the airport on Saturday. He is much larger than he was when we left him. He was about 8 pounds and now he is 14 pounds which is a big deal considering he didn’t get any taller or longer, just wider! He is quite the fat cat now. He seemed pretty uncertain when I first brought him home. I don’t think he remembers me. I introduced him to Lilo first. I am pretty sure they remembered each other. Lilo got really excited and Baggy didn’t hiss or anything. So then I decided to introduce Giselle, which if you remember from a previous blog I got her to be Baggy's girlfriend. He flipped out! She was purring but he immediately hissed and tried to attack her and she ran and hid under the dresser. He was so mad! That was the whole first day, him stalking her and attacking any chance he got. Now they are better. I don’t think Bagheera likes Giselle yet but he tolerates her and even plays sometimes. Giselle on the other hand seems to really like Bagheera. They spend a lot of the day fighting for their favorite spot which is the bench by the window that Bagheera is on in the picture. I hope someday they will learn to share it.

Lilo's Haircut

So Lilo got a haircut today. When I picked her up I laughed out loud. She looks so different and so much like a poodle now. I miss all her fluff but I am sure she feels much better now.

Before and After



Lilo's Back!

So Lilo came back last week after 4 months of being with Stephen's mom waiting out her quarantine. The whole process of getting her to Hawaii was a lot of work and very expensive. But we are soo happy to have her back. Stephen's mom had told us that she was bigger but nothing could have prepared us for how big and fluffy she is now! We were both shocked when we first saw her. I measured her hair and it is 5 inches long! She is just one big afro. She is getting a haircut soon so that she won’t be so hot. We took her to the beach for the first time and she went right into to the water and loved it! Giselle wasn't to friendly with Lilo at first but now they are getting along better. Bagheera is coming this weekend so we'll see what kind of drama will happen then.

Vintemporary

So, because I have been without a job for almost 3 months now, and because I am bored to death at home, I have started a new business venture. I have started to get into sewing. It started with pillows for our house, then curtains and now, fabric bracelets and rings. I would love to make dresses and purses, but I have no clue how to do that, or how to follow a pattern. I don't know where the idea came from, but I started making these bracelets and I thought they were pretty cute. So I sent one to my best friend Anna to see what she thought. She texted me a few days later saying that a hip Fossil employee commented on her bracelet and that that was a sure sign of my success. So I have posted my creations on Etsy (my new obsession, thanks Michelle) and now I just have to wait and see if anyone else likes them. You can check them out for yourself at Vintemporary.esty.com

Here are a couple examples of my work.
