A little late, as usual, but here nonetheless!
Mikah is so freaking handsome. While I’m not one for beauty pageants, I recently entered Mikah into the
Regis and Kelly Beautiful Baby Contest. I think the prize is worth it- 1 winner will receive $125,000 toward a collage education, and 4 runner ups will receive $25,000 for a college education… Plus some other stuff, but the fund for college is our motivation for doing it. It’s a long-shot, but nothing to lose!
It’s a kitty totem pole.
In other news, Ben and I have been preparing for a trip to Hawaii! As mentioned, we spent this past Christmas with just the 3 of us (and the kitties). While my family doesn’t usually celebrate Christmas anyway, I still felt a little melancholy around New Years. So I called my mom and booked a last minute ticket to Hawaii (off season tickets + 10% off sale for total of under $540 for 2 people!).
Ben and Mikah have never been to Hawaii so I am very excited for them to see where I grew up. More importantly i’m happy that my extended family will finally get a chance to meet Mikah before he gets too old.
KittyBabyLove.com has a new look! Our old website was looking a little too kitchy for us so Ben and I sat down and actually designed a layout in photoshop that we would like. After staring and editing PHP and CSS codes for 10 hours or so, we have this! We’re very pleased. Tell us what you think…

What’s so good about a draw string bag? It’s perfect for holding all your little knick-knacks and great for little kids to store all of their little treasures. I used to love having a bag for all my toys when I was younger, like jack & balls, puzzle pieces, or just random collections of *stuff*.
This tutorial is for a simple bag with French seams.

Bowling Kitty Set - $40
What have we been up to? Making Bowling Kitties! Ben does all the woodworking and I do the drawstring bags. A friend recently let us borrow more professional woodworking tools so hopefully we’ll be making a ton of them soon. My contribution to the set is making the bags.
