Sprucing Up Wooden Beads

I own a brown dress with this decorative beaded collar and braided strap.   After just one wash it got ruined and I exclaimed “Oh, No!” when pulling it out of the washing machine. Was the harshness of the chemicals inside the laundry detergent what caused the beads to fade? I try to handle my nicer […]

What kind of dog treat is that?

At first glance these ice cream cones startled me because I thought they had bugs inside. I’m not exactly sure what that “cream” is supposed to be though. Dogs can eat unsalted shelled sunflower seeds in moderation but the yarn strings some small children added for decoration is a no-go for Fido.

Do Not Feed the Water Fountain

I was looking through some of my old photos and came across one that was a bit odd. This is a water fountain at the mall but who was the person that thought this inanimate object needed something to eat?!? I know that a lot of you are busy holiday shopping just remember one thing: “Do Not Feed the […]
