Awesome Naked Chicks

Just in case you think I post too many cat pictures on here - enjoy some spring chickens (sort of):

(source)

Quite the selection of chicks if you ask me! Those top hats may be my favourite of the group but I must say that baby animals are the best! Which is your fave?

cute as a button!

You know what I like (besides kittens...)? Adorable images that make me feel all warm and cozy inside (and even better when the combine things I love - like buttons!)! Take a peek:

(source)

Hehe! There's something to be said about the simplicity of a happy little button picture and those muted tones take a page right out of my favourite things style book. Hoho! Happy Thursday!

My new mittens!

Now that the holidays are over and winter is in full swing (meaning it will be wet and slightly chilly here for another 2+ months) I thought I'd share one of my favourite items I got in the xmas parcel I received from my sister! I have been waiting patiently (well...sort of patiently...) for a good year now (see where I originally blogged about them here) and am so happy with how they turned out! Check out my snazzy new Totoro mittens:


Eeeek! Aren't they just the cutest things you've ever seen? I love the detail in the pattern like the little umbrella with rain drops and "totoro" knit by the cuffs! Here are a few more shots to show them off a bit more:


Hooray! These pictures don't do the best representation of the colours, but they are slate grey and cream and are neutral enough to go with all my winter coats! How wonderful! It's also lovely to see how skilled Leslie and Fraser's mom Susan are at knitting and gifting their handmade creations my way so I don't have to frustratingly try to knit for myself! Yay! Looks like I can stick with crochet on my end and vicariously enjoy knitting when I see (or in some lucky occasions - receive) their projects. Perfect! What do you think of my new mitts?

What's this?

What's this you say? I'm back from vacation and still spamming you with cute animals? Yup. I'm back and work and doing that "recovering from too much fun" deal. This guy is certainly impressed with me:

(source)
Okay, not so much, but I love that pose and expression! Oh and those ears! How darling. How could you not like cats when you see one like this guy (haha)? How have things been without me? What's new?

Bright Eyed and Bushy Tailed

Still recovering from a two day hangover? Bring on the coffee drinking squirrel!

(source)

Aww! Nothing like a little caffeine addiction to start off the day. I've been abruptly cut off all coffee and black tea while I recover from my epic flu and can let me tender unbalanced belly recover but boy oh boy could I ever go for a nice cup of earl grey right about now...

Welcome 2013!

Welcome to a fresh new year! If any of you were out living it up last night you may be spending your day in bed much like this little pal:
(source)

What a dear. Those green eyes and evil expression really do it for me and even though I went to bed early last night, I'll be sure to get plenty of R&R today since for the first time in years I have the day off! Lucky me! How do you plan to spend the first day of 2013?

What are you doing New Years Eve?

We made it to the end of 2012! No Mayan end of the world for us it seems (well I guess we already know that a while back)...so onto the year end New Years Eve celebrations! My plans for new years? Something on the line of this:

(source)
Haha. Hopefully I make it past the couch and into a nice cozy bed but since I'm practically border-lining octogenarianism it's early to bed for me! Have fun and be safe out there friends!

You know, just hanging out doin' the splits.

Hahaha! Another wonderful animal expression:
(source)
The majority of my bird watching lately has been seeing all the lovely little hummingbirds pop by my feeder (well...when I'm at home and not on vacation) but this little marsh wren would be a nice treat! Especially if he was hanging out doing the splits! Hehe!

Surprise!

(source)
Haha! Back to kitties! I just couldn't resist this little dude. Hope you're having fun finishing up December!

Friday, December 28, 2012

Oh yes.

Just in case you were wondering...I like puppies too. Here's one for any of you non-cat people:

(source)

Fraser and I both really want to get a dog but think it will be quite a few years before we're in any position to adopt one. For now the pictures will have to do...

The cuteness continues...

One of my favourite things about kitty pictures are the priceless facial expressions they have. This one cracks me up every time:

(source)

I figure he's thinking, "What Kate! You're finishing 2012 with lame cute picture posts? What about the crafts?!" Yup. Sorry little ginger kitty - I'm sick and the crafts are on hold! I'll be sure to be back with lots of fun soon enough!

vacation cuteness!

While I am busy living it up (also known as R&R if this stomach flu keeps up) in Vegas I thought I'd take a cue from when Fraser is away and give you all a cute picture to keep you occupied while I am gone! If I was still in town I'm sure I'd be organizing and playing with all my fun xmas goodies much like this girl is with her kitties:

(source)

Nothing says cute quite little kittens hanging in stockings right? I thought so! How was your Christmas? Any big Boxing Day planeroos?

Three Saturdays to go!

With only three lonely little Saturdays left before xmas it's time to bring on the holiday festivities! My plan for today? Something on the lines of this:

(source)

Hooray! Toe and tail tapping holiday beverage drinking! Not a fan of the jovial holiday kitty? How about this one instead:


(source)

Ahahahaha. Grumpy cat gets me every time. What are your big plans for the third to last weekend before xmas?

Friday Find: Mount Royal Mint

There's nothing quite like some handmade cute felt animals to cheer me up and since I'm home sick with the stomach flu today's find is filling any and all adorable voids! Just check out the charming soft sculptures of Mount Royal Mint (link):

(source)

Oh my! Bears, squirrels, walruses and bun buns? I think so! Boy those are cute and the sweet simplistic images really top them off! Now to decide which is your favourite...

snuggle kitties

It is so nice to have Fraser back home for December! We've been having a great time getting things back in order around the house and even starting the xmas decorating! Since  we've been so extra busy with errands and chores I haven't scheduled enough time in my day for blogging - so here is a tiny post and some adorable snuggling kitties:

(source)

Oh the cuteness! I hope you have someone in your life to snuggle up with - and if not...perhaps you should consider getting a pet. Happy Wednesday!

iCat

I am such a sucker for cute.  Fraser has even fully embraced my cuteness addiction and sends me cute animal pictures each morning while he is away.  I even find myself surfing the internet for cute kitty pictures and sit there giggling at all the adorable fluffy kitties! Oh my! I find myself constantly surrounding myself with cuteness and think one of these iCat earphone jack covers would take me to the next level. Just take a peek:
(source)
Eee! Boy are those ever cute! Too bad I doubt they'd fit on my phone with its case on (which is totally necessary for how clumsy I am) but if you're interested in them you can pick them up here (link). I'm not totally sold on the $23 price tag on these - but they are certainly entertaining. Under closer inspection I'm not sure I'd want one of those kitties near the bottom with their little fuzzy balls showing...which...is atomically accurate I suppose but nothing I'd like to see on a daily basis.  I'll stick to swooning over the first three kitties for now! What do you think? Are you a fan of cute?

Dumb Ways To Die

Happy Sunday! Today I've brought you a very cute and catchy video! Take a peek:



Did I mention how disturbing and odd it is? No? Well...it is one weird video...but then again I'm not about to dip my privates into piraña infested waters either. Yay! Adorable life lessons! Which is your favourite dumb way to die?

Meet Earl II

A few weeks ago I was rearranging some lamps in the living room (since I received a lovely metal 80's ikea lamp to match the other I got as a hand me down from my Aunt), and finally pulled my new pal earl (the second - as we already have a felt earl the squirrel hanging up) to enjoy! He is quite the little scamp and full of dreamy white ceramic detail:



Oh do I ever enjoy myself some non-living forest creature pets on the house! Earl II is especially darling with his little tray of acorns:




Hehe! In fact, Earl II is actually decorative, friendly, and fun - since he came as a stacking game to see how many acorns you can pile on before they topple over:



...and trust me..there are a ton of acorns...



I've actually got an Earl sized box of the extra acorns hiding in one of my wicker cubbies just in case someone is feeling like taking on some stacking but I'm happy to enjoy him as a very quiet decorative pet instead! Hooray! Welcome to the woodland themed house Earl II! Nice to have you!

Infinite Cute!

Happy Caturday! I love any excuse for posting cute cat pictures and this one really takes the cake. While Fraser is away on practicum he's been sending me cute cat pictures each morning to help perk up my day. He sent me this gif a few days ago and I was so fond I thought I'd find it on the internet to share with all of you! I mean who doesn't love an infinite game of ping pong between my two favorite coloured kitties? 

(source)

Ahaha! Boy does that ever make me laugh! Today I've got a wonderful Saturday planned including homemade crock pot cider, crafting, treats, and some much needed catch up time with my best pal Lindsay! Hooray for long weekend visits! What do you have planned for the weekend?

One Small Box

I've got a full house this weekend as my entire family is here visiting to attend a memorial service for my late cousin.  I'm not one to sap up the blog, so instead I thought I'd share this  very content and chubby kitty:


(source)

Looks like he's found just the right box - and is somewhat similar to my living room that is currently full of beds and people! Happy Saturday!
