Parsley's Festive Cheer Selfie on The Sunday Selfies Blog Hop and Caturday Art Blog Hop

Supurr Festive Sunday greetings epic furiends

Welcome to another BBHQ selfie selection, and as Catmas is fast approaching, Parsley went out in the wilds to find the purrfect snow scene before he went and spread a little festive cheer on his way back to BBHQ! What a dude! 

Parsley's Festive Cheer Selfie 

He's got such a kind nature and is always thinking of those less fortunate than himself. He loves nothing more than helping others; he is such a little sweetie.

However, he did have a bit of trouble wrapping some of the gifts because the sticky tape kept getting stuck to his fur! OH DEAR! MOL

We're also joining in Athena's Fabulous Art Hop so do stop by and show off your pawesome arty-farty skills.

The effect was created with Befunky - AI Enhancer, Gouache 1 + colour changes to hue and saturation.

We also turned this fab arty-farty picture into a puzzle, so do stop by the puzzle page and take the Puzzle Challenge, see if mew can beat our time of 10 mins 03 secs. 

Anyhoo it's time for us to go and snoopervise the tree decorating, as that is on today's programme. Smooch, as always, is in the kitchen snoopervising lunch, and hopefully, this afternoon, BBHQ will look as festive as Parsley! MOL

We'll see mew in the morning when we're sharing another furbulous Catmas Crafting with Cats, and if mew missed last week's post, click here to catch on how we made the Santa Paws Sled, in fact, similar to the one Parsely has today.

We do hope mew have an epic day, and remember to...

Smooch is Sleighing - Again! on The Sunday Selfies Blog Hop and Caturday Art Blog Hop

Supurr Sunday greetings furiends

Welcome to another BBHQ selfie selection, and this week, we've got a little #throwback of Smooch in the Santa Paws Sleigh, which we made on the Catmas Crafting with Cats in 2021.

 Smooch is Sleighing - Again! 

He loves it! 

And if mew want to see this epic crafting creation come to life, check out tomorrow's post to see how it happened! MOL

We're also joining in Athena's Fabulous Art Hop so do stop by and show off your pawesome arty-farty skills.

The effect was created with Befunky - AI Enhancer, Realist GFX +  a vignette border & slight colour changes to hue and saturation.

We also turned this fab arty-farty picture into a puzzle, so do stop by the puzzle page and take the Puzzle Challenge, see if mew can beat our time of 9 mins 18 secs. 

Jumpin' juniper berries, it's been a bit gusty the last couple of days, so much so that outside time has been restricted due to this new warning: A Danger to Floof!

Smooch is very happy this morning as he's watching the roast chicken in the oven; he says it's very relaxing as it slowly turns a lovely golden shade. What a total heathen! MOL

This afternoon we're watching The Hunt for The Wilder People, it's such a funny movie, if mew haven't seen it, give it a go.

We hope mew have an epic day, and we'll be back in the morning with the first of our Catmas Crafting sessions, so mew don't want to miss all that fun!

In the meantime...

Love To Colour? Colouring with Cats #137 ~ Getting Your OM’s on with Mandalas on Mondays ~The Catmas Countdown Begins

Supurr Monday greetings beautiful furiends

Welcome to another glorious Monday at BBHQ, and we'll be continuing our crystal series in the New Year as we're on the Catmas Countdown.

Fudge and Melvyn have been sorting through their festive bandanas and Fudge really liked the snowman one for today.

What do mew think? Or does he need something more?

They have also just had another bandana order delivered, so we'll show mew those over the Catmas season.

 If mew have any crystal questions; email us, DM us or ask us in the comments below.

To check out last weeks Crystal of the Week, click the link: Black Tourmaline. To see all the crystals we've featured so far; there's a link in last weeks post that will take mew to the previous post, and so on and so forth.

Anyhoo, we do hope mew've all have a totally pawesome weekend, and that mew're ready for the week ahead, so let's jump right in and start as always with our little breathing exercise, which we're sure mew all have down paw by now... but if mew've furgotten, stop what mew're doing for a moment and take deep fulfilling breaths; counting to five on the inhale and five on the exhale:

Breathe in

Breathe out

Breathe in

Breathe out

Breathe in

Breathe out

Smooch is here again to offur mew assistance in getting your OM's on and Zen Harmonies happening, so just press play, close your eyes and follow his instructions.



Don't mew feel better already?  I know we do!

All the mandala's featured are created & designed by us, aka The B Team.

Here's this weeks mandala.

Right-click the image to save and/or print the mandala.

And here's our finished version... this week we felt a more vibrant palette was needed, so we used a zingy tomato red, deep candy pink with shades of blue and lilac, and we think it turned out purretty cool! 

Coloured on the iPad and then transformed in Prisma, this time we chose the effect - Wild Horse.

Don't furget mew can download** our free Colouring with Cats here:- Books One, Two, Three and Four.
