Hello Darlings,

Yes, I'm back. As you know it's that time of the year, where stores are stocking items for their Spring sales. What this means for us is great saving on those "I want them, now!" winter items that were just a little bit out of reach, but are now lower to where we can manage to fit them into our budgets.

Today items are for those of us who love faux fur that are fun to wear and make us look downright fabulous. You know it, girl!

Well, today at Roaman's, the faux fur sales are on.  Below are three of the faux fur coats that are just so dreamy that they make you think of wrapping yourself up in one on the sofa with a nice hot mug of mulled wine and a nearby fire.

First there is the Roaman's Full Length Faux-Fur Coat with Hood. It is down from $359.99 to $129.99, and as a clearance item comes in sizes M (14-16), L (18-20), and 1X (22-24). Sorry, girls.  The only style left is the fox as pictured.

Sour Cream Macaroni And Cheese Tuna Casserole Bake


Hello Darlings,

Today I am sharing my latest air fryer recipe, a tuna casserole dish. I wanted a change from my old recipe, so I changed it up a bit.  And all that I can say is that I wished I had thought of this sooner.

It tastes great! I hope you enjoy it as well as Stan and I do.

About the picture. There was an even amount of casserole left in the dish after I served it, but Stan decided to nibble on a little more before putting it in the refrigerator.

Evelyn's Quick And Easy No Sew Cat Beds


Hello Darlings,

Got cats? Got furniture you want to keep your cats off of? Try this little DIY project.

Sure, you can buy tons of the ready made cat beds on the market. However in making my cat beds I took in consideration that like people, cats stretch out when they sleep deeply. Therefore, I decided to make their beds myself. From the photos below you can see that I use easy to find materials. 

First, because they were out large moving boxes, I got two old display boxes from my local Walmart store.  I do thank the manager for his kindest in letting me have them. These two boxes are just the right shape and length for my cats to stretch out in . Second, I purchased  two inexpensive king size pillows from Amazon; and lastly, I purchased material that was on sale from Joann to cover and line the boxes. The cats and kittens on the material are so cute.


The only places where the material is affixed is at the front and back of the boxes with regular staples. I made sure the closure portion of the staples were facing out so the sharp ends will not touch the cats as they slept. 



First impressions. Like most shoppers of fine things my cats checked out the beds. Autumn sat looking into one, then smugly turned and went back to sleep on the extra pillow next to my husband, and which is why I only made two beds. She will never let go of Stan. Sam claimed his cat bed by peeing on the pillow, which prompted me to wash everything before putting the beds completely  together, and Jetta, the shy lady that she is, stepped in and curled up for a long lazy afternoon nap.



As for keeping the cats off the furniture, below is a recipe that does work if you spray it around the furniture regularly and also it smells nice. If you have leather or leather-like furniture using End Dust will keep them off for a few days also.


Here is my cat repellent recipe that I posted on Tito's Cavern


My Homemade Cat Repellent

1 tablespoon Black Pepper
1 tablespoon Anise extract
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup water

Alternate Method: Using Microwave

  2. Bring it a boil on high setting  for 10 minute.
  3. Cover measuring cup with plastic wrap.
  4. Set aside to cool let seep for a day.
  5. Using  a rubber band to  keep cheesecloth in place over a large jar opening, strain undissolved herbs and spices from the liquid repellent.
  6. Pour some of repellent  in spray bottle.
  7. Spray when needed.

Hope you find this article interesting and useful, if not cute.

As always,

Chow Darlings.
