Do you have a 'Fat Cat'???
Comments (17)Ilovetogrow....the one with the yellow leaves is Dawns Early Light. This was a collection I bought from a yearly trip to Wade and Gatton. I'm lucky to live about an hour away from there. Getting my list ready for this year......can't wait! Moccasinlanding.....I joined last year. I've mostly lurked but hope to share more photos as my hostas mature. Serenity Cove is my blogs name. Here is another photo I found of Fat Cat....See MoreDo you have a hair dryer?
Comments (33)Like others, I'm dependent on blow dryer for a smooth and controlled look and will not even consider a camping trip unless it includes a hotel room and hair dryer. :-) To all you frizz balls out there... At my last haircut I was commenting on how any hair that has turned gray is also courser and curlier causing no end of styling frustration. My hairdresser suggested a Keratin treatment. At $350 (really? REALLY?), I was not willing to go that route. The next day I Googled Keratin and found an instruction video for Sauve's new Keratin Infusion kit by a young gal. It was convincing enough for me to go out and buy one. Cost, $12. So, last night I did the three step process which took about 40 minutes. Today my hair feels and looks smooth and shiny and far less frizzy. It's supposed to last 30 days. It may be a viable option for some of you. At $12, it's really worth a try.

Comments (12)I raised Alaskan Malamutes for years and collected their hair. I saw an article in a dog magazine about a woman who had spun her Samoyed dog hair and made it into a full length coat, a hat, and a gorgeous rug. Mind you this was back in the early 70s. I did some research and found someone who would spin it for $3.50/oz. I had POUNDS of the stuff, so I figured I'd better learn how to do it myself. I found an exploded picture of a spinning wheel in a Mechanic's Illustrated magazine and gave it to my husband to make for me. He gulped once and for my birthday I got an Ashford spinning wheel in a box. He made me put it together (like he made me build my own dog sled) so I would know how it worked and how to fix it if it broke. Once I learned how to spin with wool (it was a challenge, believe me) and figured out how to do the dog hair, I had to do something with it. I had to learn how to knit. I made a sweater for my first project and learned a whole lot about myself and my abilities. Dog hair is slick, it does not have the barbs or scales that wool has, therefore it "walks" or stretches if the twist isn't tight enough. I picked the wrong pattern, it was knit on large needles and the sweater grew after it was done. My daughter wore it for a mini skirt. Since that time, I only do hats and they are very warm. It has to be below freezing for me to be comfortable in it. If you are going to use the dog hair or cat hair for a garmet around your face, remember it is like angora rabbit hair and will tickle when it fuzzes up. We call the dog hair "cheingora" to give it a fancy name. I could never wear it as a scarf, it would drive me crazy. Once the hair is washed, there is NO doggie odor, even if it gets wet. I wash mine with human shampoo and a next to last rinse in conditioner, then a final clear water rinse. Right now I only spin my own dog's hair (Australian Shepherds) and do some for some very close and special dog friends. I did a batch for my best girlfriend that I've know since jr high. I didn't card it, took it out of the bag and spun it in different layers. When I knit the hat up and sent it to her, she said when she opened the package, she burst into tears because she recognized all the dogs she had owned in the hat. Some of them had passed by that time. I just did a hat for her husband out of some black dog hair. If you are going to felt it, try adding just a bit of wool to it. You can try a knitting store to see if they have roving. Ask around if there is a spinning guild, they can steer you in the right direction for supplies. The wool will make it hold together much better. I'd be afraid to spray it with anything like an acrylic spray because you will lose the uniqueness of the hair. You might try hair spray....See MoreHair of dog and claw of cat...
Comments (7)I have an easier solution. At least it's worked with every cat I've ever owned. When I see them claw furniture, I hiss at them. lol. They stop dead in their tracks and never touch the furniture again. They understand a hiss, no kidding! It's not being mean, it's my way of saying "No!" which they understand. It works every time. :) I do have an old little braided rug in the back of the house which they're allowed to scratch, and they love doing it....See MoreBunny
