How to Make a Felt Boa | I was feeling crafty today and decided to make something I've dubbed the "felt boa." It's like a feather boa, but more colorful, less messy, and honestly, way cooler looking!

Let's Take a Shelfie: Penny's Beauty Routine | Penny gets lots of compliments on her beautiful hair, so I thought we'd share her beauty routine! First of all, Penny is a half-long-hair, half-short-hair, purebred Dachshund.
