The Blogging Business Artisans has monthly challenges and January's challenge by Storybeader is to attempt a new technique. Well, today I'm helping Mommy with something new - she's working with paint, paper and fabric which are three things she really needs help with! She wouldn't let me help with the painting and gluing the paper for some reason so you can see what's she done so far... 
She needs me to be the model for a kitty she's going to cut out from the black, fuzzy fabric. She has a white pencil but it won't draw on the fabric so she'll have to cut it out free hand. I hope this turns out well...
I guess she used another model because that certainly doesn't look like me! It's missing something too... 
That's better but the proportions are way off...
She wanted to put curtains on it but couldn't figure it out...
I couldn't help her because I was helping my sisfur look for birdies...
Wonder where she gets her inspiration!
Hope you try something new this Tortie Tuesday too!

Then we noticed they "destroyed prohibited material"! This is code for there's a party on the border with OUR stuffs!
They took "Fresh Unknown Leaves" aka fresh Silvervine and also some treats that Whisky sent for Sadie. Can you believe that? Thankfully they did leave behind the Silvervine powder...
I could smell that stuff through the little package!
Mommy didn't know how I'd react so she put a teeny bit on a big heart toy to see what I'd do...
It may have been a teeny bit but it sure packed a wallop!
I became an instant wiggly worm!
Isabella turned WILD!
We loved the Silvervine - it's like mega nip! We want to thank Whisky, Cosmo, Ling, Meow-Me, Coco, Felix and Boomer! If you haven't visited them, be sure to stop 
Hey Bella, just mosey on by will ya? I'm busy here...
Okay, where was I? Oh yes, now I'll demonstrate my new 
Now, I'm not a messy eater at all so the Neater part of the Feeder for me means no more water left standing underneath my bowl holders because when Mommy fills them up, she often spills the water. Now, see those little holes in front, the water goes underneath everything and doesn't even touch the bottom of my bowls! 
Plus the taller sides keep any stray foods contained and keeps kitty sisfurs out too! Ha roo!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to finish my Sunday dinner in my Neater Feeder and follow it up with a nap!
Oops, I almost hurried on down the steps before remembering to stop and show you my new collar and leash. It's got the logo of the Oregon State Beavers on it.
Here's a photo of it before I put them on. Pretty snazzy huh?
Well, here's the cool part I told you about before...
My collar and leash are lighted by LEDs! Pretty doggone cool huh? They're the new Collegiate 
On our stroll several other people told me that liked my leash so it's a hit in our neighborhood!
Of course I'm a hit in our neighborhood too since I'm so darn cute! 
We didn't know what to expect with the

Mommy did an unscientific test to see how long her tea stayed hot in a KeepCup compared to her mug and it came out to be about the same but it's supposed to stay hotter longer than a disposal cup by at least 20 minutes but we can't confirm that...
Anyway, the KeepCup worked out really well and Daddy has even used it to take hot chocolate to work so it wouldn't spill all over his vehicle plus he wouldn't use disposable cups once at work. So I give the

Why are you giggling Mommy? I don't find it one bit amusing.
I bet the clients would love to know who really prepares their tax returns!
and taking (or giving) a bath from time to time...
We'll fit a nap or two in every hour too!
This weather is fabulous! 
Snow, slush AND water puddles? Whoa doggy!
A field full of snow too? What can be better?
Snowballs! That's the icing on my snow cake!
I wonder if Grandpa had as much fun as I did?
Since he doesn't have my warm fur, I better get him home to thaw out his paws...
I hope you had fun coming along on our snowy stroll today too!
Our snow is all gone because we're getting lots and lots of rain and many parts of our area are flooding but we're up high so are safe from high water. The humane society is taking in animals displaced from the floods and several places are boarding horses who had to leave flooded fields. We're crossing paws for efurrybody affected by these horrible winter storms.
