A craft and hobby blog that showcases some of our work with various hobby crafts. We are also members of Ornament Thursday so we post all our wonderful ornaments here too for you to see.
When I was a young thing I fell head over heels in love with the neighbor’s cat. She drooled a lot due to an injury but the soppiness was easily overlooked because she was loving and grateful to be loved.
When she visited I sat out on the stoop, groomed her with my hairbrush (mom never knew that part) and gave her treats from our fridge. Occasionally she’d arrive with treats for me too – like live mice and lizards. We spent many stolen hours together on that stoop – some of them with me screaming!
She was a great cat and I offer this in honor of her attitude of gratitude. I’ve taken the liberty of making sure the mouse used in the piece was NOT alive but made of wood. -MZ

There are so many ways to say thank you Our own Helen Bradley at http design puts wordle.net to work to create these earrings which say thank you in so many ways.
I have a new love, Wordle.net. Visit the site, type a few words and click a button and you have a fantastic word cloud created for you. You can choose your fonts and colours and you can use your word cloud wherever you like.
I took a Word Cloud I’d made using the word Thank You spelled out in some languages of the places I have visited recently or will be visiting, like French, Spanish, Thai, Italian and printed the cloud at a small size onto Shrink Plastic front and back.
Punch a large circle from the plastic and then make a small circle for hanging and heat to shrink. I finished my “Gratitude” earrings with some chain and findings. Too much fun. – HB

Cat’s Attitude of Gratitude Our own Michelle at http design has a fun take on gratitude – think about it – what do cats give you when they love you? Mice!
Oh wow. I love creative stuff and this is high up on the list. It is a winning entry in a Dutch film festival and it’s funny, creative and very smart. Thanks to Susan over at the Daily Art Muse for the post where I found out about this:
