Hungry, Lonely, Scared • Part 2, Capture!

Ensconsed!!!!

Saw the new kitty hanging around right outside the door, hungry. Great time to set the trap. I use a Havahart Live Trap, set with canned, stinky food. These traps have a trigger pressure plate so when the kitty (or raccoon or fox or skunk) go inside, they get all the way in before stepping on the trigger plate, and the door behind them snaps shut but is far enough away to (hopefully) not catch any tail or fur in the closure. The trap has a spring loaded lock so it stays shut once the critter is inside.

Big Corporate Licensing vs. Cottage Industry

TARDIS Fridge

Meanwhile, loving fans were making hats in a certain style similar to one that a character wore. Now this wasn't a newly designed hat, made specifically for the show. It was an old old style knitted cap with ear flaps that people have been wearing for centuries.

Our TARDIS Fridge – Refrigerate! Refrigerate!

TARDIS Fridge

All work and no play dulls the mind. For Halloween, Joy thought that it would be a great idea to dress up our refrigerator as Dr. Who's TARDIS. It's a French Door, bottom roll-out freezer style, so the double door design of a London Police Call Box fits right in. How to make it happen?

Making a TARDIS Refrigerator

TARDIS Fridge

I've turned my refrigerator into a TARDIS. The doors look like the Police Box, the cap has the sign and a working light beacon, the ice/water dispenser is hiding behind the little phone door and it even makes the whooshy sound when the doors open!
