DIY Chic Bird and Branch Mobile

I made an awesome mobile for my best friends new babys room. and it turned out awesome, i wanted to keep it for my own apartment, and I don't have any babies. its perfectly chic, for anyone, any age. Here are the instructions and where i purchased the supplies.

I purchase the birds online here, and drilled small holes into them for hanging. Either you can find a branch in nature, or if you would like to buy one, check out Save On Crafts.

Next, i placed them in the order i liked

Then, Painted the birds and twig branch black

Finally, attached string through the holes and to the branch

Cuddle Kitty Friend

I saw this great "Cuddle Kitty Pal" at Petsmart, that was Microwaveable. Anyway, i thought it was too cute, but didnt buy it, then i came home and thought, my kitten might really like this after his surgery, Since i use a rice sock for my neck when its hurting or sore. I made a seperate insert for the rice, incase it ever breaks.

Microwave this soft cat toy for 30 seconds, and it becomes a source of warmth and comfort for kitty. Plush toy is stuffed with rice, which radiates warmth like a heating pad long after it's been heated. An ideal source of warmth and comfort for naptime, older cats, or cats that are stressed. Tail also provides an appropriate chewing outlet.

Heres the petsmart version:

New Kitty Crab Toy!

New Toy for the Kitten, I didn't have enough pink for both sides, so i made a blue side, and made him have a sad face, because crabs really have expressions! I also made him hanging from a string, because my kitten really likes when you interact with him, also it makes the crab dangle and move side to side! The plastic beads were an extra little sparkle for attraction!

I got my idea from Heart Felt Wool

so if you'd like to buy a crab or other toys already made check them out here! So fabulous!

Kitten Toys and Bed

I made some fun felt toys and a bed for my new kitten! Thanks to Martha Stewart for the Hanging Feathers! The fish and bird were quick versions of this website Craftbits. He Loves them! The cat bed was my own project after seeing a super soft cat bed at pet smart, and remembering i have a TON of fleece fabric and and old pillow at my apartment to use.
