Super Nermal!!

So, the trip to the vet started with this:



The stupid cat scratched herself and then obsessively licked it until she rubbed a huge bald spot on her chest (It looks puffy in the pictures for some reason. It wasn't...just hairless! :P)

So, the vet gave her a shot and some cortisone cream. I needed to make something to keep her from licking it off though...and thus was born...the Super Nermal cape/bib!!



She was pretty good about it at first...




But then she tore off and tried to wriggle out of it. She only got it down to her belly though, so she pouted



She seems to be doing a lot better now, so all is well. Hopefully the fur grows back quickly so that she doesn't look so pitiful!

Guess what?

I just put our LAST car payment in the mail! Wheeeeeeeeeee! :)

Felt Book Progress

The latest additions to my bike riding

My pretty pink helmet (will eventually get some cute decals on it):



And my basket (can you see the mountains in the background? It's so pretty here...):



Isn't it cute? Just a plain ol' basket from Michael's, with ribbon hot glued on and secured to the handlebar with zipties.

Ideas?

We're supposed to go to an Elton John themed party on Saturday and costumes are required. Any thoughts for some cheap costume ideas? I was thinking about raiding Miss P's dress up box and swiping some boas and her star shaped sunglasses....any other thoughts?
