It's been a while since I've been itching to redesign the look of this blog. Looking back, this is what the top banner looked like:
Not too catchy, and kinda boring. It's been up for almost a year and it was high time to get a change. I also wanted to use some of the free vectors I found at this site: www.bittbox.com
Definitely check out BittBox for loads of fantastic free brushes, textures and vectors for download. I composed the new title banner with a few decorative ornaments taken from there.
I was spoilt for choice as to which photo of the sleeping Tuff I should use, but this one was still my favourite by far, with her legs stretched out over the backpack. Utter contentment. :) Quite liked the way it turned out, so I went ahead and redid the avatars.

Making up For Lost Time
Whoo, haven't had caturday for like, almost 4 months -_- Now that is sad. So to make up for lost time here's a whole slew of the Tuff doing what she does best:
Yep. Current desktop at home, soon to have another version for work :D Definitely brightens up my day. :) Here's a 1024 x 768px for anyone craving some caturday in their lives:
Another reason for the lack of updates is that I'm currently fostering 2 kittens...a mom cat had a litter of 4 downstairs. Unfortunately the most adventurous one, a ginger colour, was run over. The tabby one was quickly adopted, leaving 2. One day I went down to feed them and found them cowering in the rain. This won't do so I brought them up. I guess the story has to be followed up in another post, but here's a photo for the meantime:
Do not be misled by the innocent looks, I've already lost 2 rolls of toilet paper to these little buggers (they are living in my washroom). Well, more to follow next time.
