Real Tree Cat Tree Cattree Indoor Home Installation

cat tree cattree real tree indoors DIY how to make your own art installation sisal rope platforms climbing scratching post

Today's big reveal is a little something myself and husband spent some more time working on.

About a year or so ago we made our cat a cat tree, the original post can be found by clicking here.  Anyway, in that post I think I mentioned we had also obtained a real tree that we were going to turn into a cat tree once we had the time and means to do so.  We spent time de-barking it last summer and then it just sat in the garden for almost a year.

Well, Sunday we pulled our fingers out and decided to finally do something about the cat tree.  The reason why? We were putting up our Christmas tree and we didn't want the cat to climb that! Haha.

So, we grabbed our sisal rope, some snap hooks and brackets and set to work!

I have uploaded a video to my YouTube channel showing the process which you can watching by clicking here.

What do you think?!  I know not everyone would want a tree in their home but I love it, it is almost like a funky art installation as well as serving a purpose as a cat tree.  It also has a couple of platforms on it so that he can survey his land from up high.  You can tell who rules the roost can't you?!

Sorry about the unfinished plastering / walls in the background, we had an accident, they will be fixed soon!

Let me know what you think in the comments below, I would love to know :0)

Dogs funny reactions to going through a car wash!

Hey Guys

Check out my latest video over on my YouTube channel, it is of my beloved pooch going through the car wash with me and her cute ears circulating around picking up each different sound.  Then at the end she decides it is boring and sleeps! Haha.

Hope it is a light hearted little something to cheer up your day or make you smile.

Cloud & Grass Bundle Monster Nail Stamping Tutorial on YouTube

bundle monster bm-316 nail stamping tutorial clouds grass youtube pink silver barry m models own

Hey sparkles
 
I recently made a new nail stamping tutorial for my YouTube channel, you can watch it by clicking here.
 
It is using Bundle Monster nail stamping plate BM-316.  I had used Models Own Sun Hat as a base colour and then stamped using two designs from the BM-316 plate using my Barry M Silver Foil Effects nail polish.  One of the nail plate designs is a cloud design whereas the other I interpreted as being long grass blowing in the breeze.
 
I love how this turned out and I hope you do too.  Please give the video a thumbs up and subscribe, your support is hugely appreciated.
 
Thanks again guys

Hey guys

I wanted to quickly show you one of my birthday presents that I got on Tuesday.  It is the Sandstrom Bluetooth Keyboard which I have set up to work with my Sony Xperia smartphone and also my Samsung Galaxy tab. 

It is UH-MAZING!!

I absolutely love it, it works so well.  As soon as you have connected it via bluetooth you can use it to type anything you like.

Click here to check out my video on YouTube which shows me using this device with my mobile phone.

If you are like me, and a typer by profession, then you too will understand how much quicker you can get stuff done if you are able to use a proper qwerty keyboard.  I absolutely love it and am so pleased I received it as a birthday present.

Do you like typing with a touch screen or do you also prefer keyboards? Have you ever used something similar? If so, how did you get on.  I would love to hear from you in the comments below!

How to make a fur and fleece dog / cat double snuggle sack or sleeping bag or bed

dog cat snuggle sack sleeping bag youtube tutorial how to make fur fleece double comfy bed


Hey guys

I have uploaded a new YouTube video! This time it is showing you how to make your own doggy snuggle sack / sleeping bag.  The one I make is big enough for my cat and dog to share but you can adjust the measurements I provide to make your own one possibly smaller or bigger as you need.

You can watch my YouTube tutorial by clicking here.

NB: This tutorial is a sewing tutorial.  I had to hand sew as my machine is broken but if you have a machine it will be A LOT quicker!

If you would like me to write a blog post on how I made the dog snuggle sack then please let me know in the comments below :0)

Adventures In Stamping Sunday 30 March Challenge

Hi guys
 
Yesterday's challenge over on the Adventures in Stamping facebook page was to combine another technique such as water marble or seran wrap with stamping.
 
I did an ombre gradient on two of my nails as accents (which I actually stamped using a Bundle Monster plate) and then did a stamped design using black and white on my other fingers.
 
Here is how it turned out:

I hope you like this mani.  I filmed whilst creating it and a video tutorial will be uploaded soon on my YouTube channel so watch out for that over here. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel and give my videos a thumbs up, your support will always be appreciated.

My Top 5 Favourite YouTubers TAG

youtube top 5 favourite youtubers beauty makeup nails hair TAG blog

 Hey sparkles

This blog post is a bit of a different one to what I usually do, then again...maybe it isn't...

Anywho.

I thought I would share with you guys my top 5 favourite YouTubers that I am really into at the moment.  I have quite an extensive subscription list on YouTube so believe me it was hard to cut it down to 5! Hopefully this will contain people you know and also people you don't, maybe help you find new people to subscribe to yourself.

Without further ado, here we go.


I must admit I am fairly new to Katie's channel, I have only been watching since Christmas but how I have fallen for their beautiful little family. Katie's channel has been going for a very long time and last year, amazingly, she found out she was pregnant and has always documented through her pregnancy regular weekly updates, labour story, information on products for pre-birth and baby since birth etc etc.  She now provides regular updates post-birth and also vlogs their day to day routines sometimes.  I don't know what else to say other than I just love watching her videos, something just clicks with me watching them! Katie shines through as a fantastically loving mum, as does Paul a great father.  Their daughter Ellie is beautiful and I just thoroughly enjoy watching and also find her videos often informative and interesting.  So all I can say is thank you Katie :0)


So, this channel you might all be a bit more familiar with.  This features predominantly makeup tutorials by the fabulous Lauren. They are often simple designs that people can easily recreate and she really explains how she is doing things and what products / brushes she is using.  I have similar blonde hair and blue eyes so find that all her tutorials work with my complexion really well.


This is my go to nail stamping tutorial channel.  I have been following this channel for a long time now, this is where I first learned of nail stamping myself! Not only does she upload nail stamping tutorials but also reviews all the latest nail stamping plates as and when they are released. I find a lot of her work really inspiring and influential and really cant say much more than that, just watch and subscribe too!


Again, you guys have probably heard of Louise over on Sprinkle of Glitter, if not, head over there right now.  Louise is friends with Zoella and Tanya Burr etc and I just absolutely love her channel.  Her sweet daughter Darcy features a lot on there too and oh my goodness she is adorable.  The channel deals with discussions, hauls, adventures etc.  I feel that Louise comes across as a genuinely warm and positive person and watching her videos often makes me feel more positive too.  Louise, will you be my friend?!


Okay okay, I know I'm cheating but I have got a joint fifth place.  I toiled with the decision and mulled it over for some time but really was splitting hairs so I'm sorry but I am putting them both.

Robin Moses = insane nail art most of which I could only dream of ever being able to re-create.  Some of Robin's designs are crazy arty and literally like they are being painted on a canvas, not a teeny tiny finger nail.  She is definitely a must have if you are in the nail art blogging world.

Luxy Hair = awesome hair style tutorials.  I have tried many a video including the very difficult 5 strand braid (one day I will get it!) and I just think beautiful tutorials are always uploaded and tips on hair care and just always enjoy their videos.

So, there you have it, my Top 5 / 6 favourite YouTubers.  Do you have favourite YouTubers? If so, who? Please share in the comments below, I would love to hear from you.

Please please all check out my YouTube channel and subscribe, your support would be hugely appreciated, thank you!
