Stick Art

I saw this Driftwood Seahorse thing on Pinterest and thought it was a cool idea. Then I saw that my dad was trimming the birch trees and were throwing away a bunch of small branches. I thought to myself that maybe I can try to be artsy and make my own woody wall art. By the way, my sister was the one who had the bright idea of using the birch branches. I would have just collected sticks on the ground.

So I dragged in a couple of branches and spent some good time trimming them down to bare branches.

I also cut out this silhouette from a random piece of cardboard. I only wanted to make a small one first to see if I'll like it before spending time on a large one.

Glue gun. Bam!

Cut branches and glue glue glue!

Done! I must say, I'm very happy with the result. However, I think it was a lot easier for me to cut the branches because they are still fresh and soft.

I showed the finished product to my parents and both of them thought that I made a swan. I can see that. Maybe it'll be an interpret art piece. Maybe I'll even hang it upside down!

Halloween!

Halloween this year will be chilled but also cool, too. I finally have met an animal who will let me dress him up in a costume. I present to you, Gizmo, the bumblebee!

I couldn't find a cute dog costume so I bought a human costume with wings and antennae for him.

My sister and I also went to Walmart and got a pumpkin for $4. I only bought one pumpkin but I wanted to carve a cat carving and a dog carving to honor Suppy and Rocky.

Rest well beautiful animals and happy Halloween!

Christmas With Cats

We used to set up a Christmas tree every year. The first year that we got our first kitten, Suppy, she destroyed the tree in one night. From then on, we stopped with the tree.

Since March of last year, Suppy came to live in my apartment with me. My family took that as a sign that they would finally get to put up a tree again. And they did.

I guess our other cats are not tree killers because that thing was still standing when I came back home.

Not only that they didn't destroy the tree, they even joined in the festivities. This is Calvin sitting next to the card my sister made for me. My sister always makes the best cards.
