  • Oh no, Tabs!! What did you do?!!

    Ever since Connie painstakingly grew these four pots of catnip for me, I’ve been taking really, really good care of them, waiting for the day when I can harvest them and let the cats enjoy them. I even make sure I don’t over-water, knowing that the roots cannot take too much water. This afternoon, we…

  • The simple joys of the Patio Family

  • The patchwork blankets – the story continues

    We wish to thank everyone who has written in to order the patchwork blankets. However, it has come to our attention now that many may not have read the second post about the blankets (or the many comments in the very first post) and are under the impression that the blankets are still priced at…

  • Life is oh-so comfortable…with patchwork blankets!

    Ever since I placed the folded patchwork blanket on my desk for the purpose of photograph-taking, I never quite had a chance to remove it because at any one time, a cat would be on it! Meanwhile, the total number of orders for the patchwork blankets is now six. My mum is really excited about…

  • Bunny’s mischievous water-bowl game

    For two days in a row now, I’ve caught Bunny red-handed toppling the water-bowl. Not just any water-bowl, mind you. It’s the stainless steel water-bowl which comes in a holder, hooked onto the side of Pole’s condo. I didn’t manage to take photos of how he unhooked the water-bowl as I’m still not very good…
