It is more fun playing with cat fur. I made it for my BFF's birthday (..shhh..). I used fur from three of her cats to make the beads. It is a nice blend of colors with yellow, buff and gray. I used the same tutorial as my earrings to make the beads. The tutorial is over at <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Felted-Pet-Hair-Beads/">Instructables</a> and is super easy and so fun. I can't wait to surprise my BFF with it! :)</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8866142717672304324-2726399243704988544?l=freshasakitten.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Aliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02883364367924536304noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8866142717672304324.post-69163713140545590892010-04-21T13:45:00.000-07:002010-05-05T09:28:56.142-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BVcqmiVcPXE/S89j_uaLI3I/AAAAAAAAFbQ/dVYaQLLMsqg/s1600/earthday1.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 302px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BVcqmiVcPXE/S89j_uaLI3I/AAAAAAAAFbQ/dVYaQLLMsqg/s320/earthday1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462694819464422258" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Happy Earth Day Birthday!</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">:I made it:</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:verdana;font-size:small;">Fluffy pom pom made from a plastic shopping bag. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Have a safe and happy day.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">alicia</span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8866142717672304324-6916371314054559089?l=freshasakitten.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Aliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02883364367924536304noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8866142717672304324.post-1857149548616096532010-04-19T14:46:00.001-07:002010-04-26T10:13:32.405-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BVcqmiVcPXE/S8zP8jlesVI/AAAAAAAAFbI/q5FpbkYSIMQ/s1600/vintage+glass+owl.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 273px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BVcqmiVcPXE/S8zP8jlesVI/AAAAAAAAFbI/q5FpbkYSIMQ/s320/vintage+glass+owl.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461969087345111378" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Fantastic vintage find I am so happy about.
