Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!
We had a mini celebration Saturday night
It's strange, this year we really weren't that into it
Every other year we've been so excited
We both put it down to those two weeks of stressing about Sisco
But it felt strange to not get a pumpkin, so we got a little one
It's supposed to be a cat!
We made loaded vegan nachos, which were so good!
Had a few drinks and caught up on t.v.
It was nice

















Only thing was all the fireworks
Poor little Sisco sat under the couch for most of the night and wouldn't even come out for treats
When she finally came out whenever she heard fireworks she'd make this face


































I know she was spooked, but I had to take a photo
She looked so cute!
She settled down after and had a lot of treats
She loves the witches hat I made her last year!

















If you're celebrating tonight have a great night!

Cat Crazy Saturday - Halloween Tutorial

For this Cat Saturday I decided to do a tutorial to make a little costume for your cat (or dog, bunny, parrot etc)
This is my 1st tutorial on my blog, so hopefully I've explained things well!

Ok, here we go!

1. Collect everything you need

• Card
• Scissors
• Pets collar
• Ruler
• Pen
• Orange & Back felt
• Pins & a needle
• Thread (I forgot to photograph)
  

2. Measure the length of your pets collar








3. Take off about 2 cm's each side off the length of the collar and cut out a square based on that
Then cut it out of felt

















4. Then it's time to cut out your pumpkins face. I didn't use a pattern for these as I think they look good a bit rough.
Pin them down and then sew on













5. All done! You can give the felt a little iron to flatten it down a little, it just makes it look neater














6. Fold in half and pin together










7. Next cut off the corners so it fits onto the collar and it's easier to slide the collar through













8. Sew up! I just used a basic running stitch, but if you have time I think a blanket stitch would look really nice













9. Slide the collar through











10. Next is the hardest part!
Trying to get a photograph
Sisco was very happy to just sit with it on, but she wasn't a very cooperative model!













































































Hope you liked it!
If you make one I'd love to see
Just leave me a link in the comments!
Have a lovely Halloween weekend!

Halloween Decor Ideas

As I've mentioned before, I love Halloween
I had a lot of fun things planned for my blog, but due to all the Sisco drama I fell behind
Halloween didn't interest me without my lucky little black cat
Well, now she's back so I can carry on!
There are so many amazing tutorials and ideas floating around the net and I want to share my favorites
Oh, I have a little Halloween tutorial of my own for the little furrballs in your life!
I will post it in the next few days, it's a cute one if I do say so myself

Last year I decorated a little, but I'm not doing much in our flat this year
I look forward to the day we have our own little house and can go totally crazy with it!
It's a shame it's not that much of a big deal in the U.K.
I remember going to Florida when I was little and being totally amazed at the effort people went to
And I think I spent an hour walking down the Halloween isle in K-Mart
I still have the plastic pumpkin I bough back then

Ok, onto the tutorials, hope you find some you like

This is so cute

















This is so creepy!!
But totally amazing!













These are all little acorns!
What a fun idea

















Love!

















This is super simple, but I think it's a great idea

















This is amazing, but I could never do it!
Even the picture freaks me out

















Gotta include a black cat
