Christmas, Cats, and Crafts

For those not in the know, the Jer-Bear is from Ohio. Naturally, we headed there for a long weekend just before Christmas.

However, the Boyles we stem from aren’t as click-happy as we Boyles be so instead…the cats got a photoshoot.

This is Sloopy. She’s always the first to jump on my lap and tap on me when I don’t pet her right away – I have a mild cat allergy and I’m never sure which kitten will make me react. This trip, all was well in the world and I could love on Sloopy like she deserves.

This is Oliver. He’s a curious fellow. He doesn’t seem to like anyone until Jerry and I come home. Then he’s out sleeping on people’s feet, curling up along side you and begging to get his picture taken.

We are missing a photo of Miss Kitty but she’s a big scaredy cat when Eddie is around.

Moving on to crafts!

This Christmas I was at a loss for what to get for several people…so I crafted.I made this bag for my future sister-in-law, Sophia, of Sophia’s Workshop (lucky us, we’re getting one of her amazing cake toppers as a wedding gift! Jealous? You should be). :)

And made 2 frosted glass bowls (one for Sophia and one for mi madre) PLUS a pitcher for Mama Boyle.Etched glass is ridiculously easy (much more difficult to photograph it than make it) and I highly suggest you try it if you need a gift for that “impossible to buy for” someone. Trust me, they’ll love it. :)
