I can’t recall if I’ve mentioned or not, but I signed up for another Santa Swap on Goosemoose.  The sendout deadline is this Wednesday, although I’ll hopefully be mailing out my presents on Monday.  I’d kind of been putting off doing them because I wanted my coverstitcher, but it hasn’t even shipped yet, so I [...]

Lazy bRats! I spend hours making them a beautiful Christmas cage with bunches of snuggly hammocks and what do they do? Sleep on the liners. Or in the litterbox. At least they aren’t under the liners yet.
I weighed the boys tonight — Hamlet is sitting at 335g with Othello at 338g. [...]

I just finished cleaning the cage, and put up the gorgeous set that Pink made for me. Don’t you just love the frog / camo print?  The boys seem to enjoy it and have been hopping in and out of the double decker and spending an inordinate amount of time sniffing around the treatbox, [...]

I’m so excited!  My presents from Pink arrived today and they are soooo beautiful.  Not only did the boys get an assortment of hammocks (a stand-alone tube, a double-decker, a triple hammock, a cuddle cup, a pocket hammock and a star dome home) and a huge treatbox, I got homemade marshmallows which are seriously delicious and [...]

Well, this post is a day late.. but the pictures are current! The boys joined us at the table for Thanksgiving dinner last night. They had a fantastic time running around and sampling everything. I made them up a little plate of their own and they happily pigged out like crazy. [...]

Just weighed the boys. They are both somewhere between 315-320. I ordered a new digital gram scale, I can’t wait until it arrives. This one just sucks..
Apparently the new scale came today.
Othello: 321
Hamlet: 310

My good little boys were in their cube when I came out this morning!  I was actually planning to take out all of the hammocks and do a full cage cleaning today, but I was so happy to see them sleeping somewhere other than the liner that I am going to leave things be for [...]

Jamie sent me a picture of Anya wearing the dress this morning.  I think it looks cute enough, although it is definitely a bit longer on her left side than on her right.  I suppose I can fix that when she comes up by adjusting the hem a little.  It is also fairly shapeless (I [...]

I really need to get a digital gram scale. The scale I currently have is so hard to read, and I just feel like I’m measuring them wrong.
Hamlet was 295-300g tonight and Othello was 290-295.

This week is pirate week! Alex picked the current set and I had so much fun making it. Aside from the kinds of hammocks that I usually make, I also put together a pirate ship and an octopus (I posted about the octopus earlier). The octopus was a lot of work but [...]
