Adventures of a Cat Lady

  • Arty cat boxes

    For the purpose of this blog, we will be calling what is being created as “arty cat boxes:”, much more catchy than a ‘art cat bed’ which they are found as under google. When I first came across these super cute boxes a month or so ago, I knew instantly that I wanted to make…

  • How to create a mental health wall

    Mental health is something that affects everyone. Despite this, its still considered a taboo subject, which does no one any good.
