Mishmash

Spinach.

With Tuna patties, crumbled.

And roasted red peppers.

Alongside homeade hummus.

HEllo, yum!

Planting

Ranunculus

Except now they look like brown sticks.

And I did water them.

Is this normal?

English Daisies

Massage room project: frame

My dear friend Heidi got me this print for my birthday.

Its pretty appropriate.

And, it can be found here.

I didn't have quite the right frame,

so I busted out the paint again.

Acrylic this time.

And some of my glossy stampin' stuff.

And the sandpaper.

For distressing.

It turned out pretty well.

Now, I've just got to get it on the walllllll!

Scarf o lace

The local yarn shop

http://serendipityyarnshoppe.com/

hosts a knit-a-long.

Currently we're doing projects from the book

Sock Yarn One-Skein Wonders

by Judith Durant

This scarf (and the mitts shown a few posts back)

were the projects chosen for February/March.

I did them both.

Which let me off the hook for April/May.

Kind of...

Or maybe I let MYSELF off the hook since I wasn't crazy about either project.

And I was working on other stuff.

In any case, this scarf is lovely.

And the yarn was fabulous to work with.

Kentucky!

A bunch of women

A passel of hats

A herd of horses

And a surprise win!

All of these add up to:

A fabulous time in Louisville, Kentucky.

(or Loo-ah-vull, to the natives.)

Massage room project: basket

I've been looking at a lot of home improvement blogs for entertainement.

Some of them use spray paint in ways

that us 'normal' people wouldn't usually consider.

So, I decided to give some spraypaint a chance.

Even if its not in an abnormal way.

This lovely basket was left behind during the big move-out by my

Zogg Pilates neighbor.

I called her and asked her if she wanted it.

She said no.

So. I confiscated it.

And turned it blue.

It now resides in the restroom.

Knitting for kids

I've been having fun using up yarn

by knitting for kids.

This one was intended for a year-old baby,

But I failed to read the pattern completely.

Thus, it turned out big enough for my 7-year-old, going on 8-year-old nephew.

He was excited to learn it was to be his.

And tried it on quite willingly.

I'm very pleased with the way it turned out.

But WILL read the pattern all the way next time.
