Cat Grass

(It's not what you think.)

The person who invented "kitty grass" must have never had a cat. I remembered today how my cat, Punky, would sometimes sneak past me out the door. 

I lived in a second floor apartment at the time. Punky would slip past, race down the stairs as fast as she could, and start chowing down on the little patch of grass by some bushes.

Now at this point, I would try to rush to get her as fast as I could. I didn't want her munching on the grass.

Because a few minutes later, the results weren't pleasant. In case you need a hint, dogs chew on grass for the same reason. 

Yeah, so I wanted to keep that from happening. 

Once Mom had a chive, as well as catnip, plant. She and I were out for the day, only to come home to...nothing. 

Punky ate the whole thing. Mom wasn't happy. 

I Will forever regret we were gone the day the catnip plant was eaten. 

What happened that day, we will never know.

 

Don't Be Afraid to Try

I tend to get slightly overwhelmed/depressed when I go to Michaels or Hobby Lobby. I see a bunch of stuff--

-oh, I need to finish that scarf loom thing.
- i want to try Mod-Podging.
I need to finish that bracelet.
Ooh, look at these beads...

You get the picture.

I got watercolors for Christmas, and I tried them out a couple of weeks ago.

I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist, and my mom knows it. Just prior to me trying these out she told me not to be (rather, expect) perfect and get frustrated. Which I do. Sometimes. So I was just playing around. Turns out with art, you don't have to be perfect. Elements of my drawing were good (I thought) and I liked it. Even mistakes can turn out to be something you end up liking.

So don't be that perfect, and try.

Happy New Year!

This year, I resolve to... blog more!  I really do. :) 

 

Have a happy New Year!
