Valentine stuff.

This was a pretty productive week.  Small stuff, but satisfying.  Mug rugs at the beginning and a tote bag for mom.

 

First finish of 2015

First finish of 2015. This is actually a UFO that I gave my DH for Xmas unfinished. It is now in use. All home spuns. I have another quilt top of the same fabrics to be finished. Not sure when that will be done or who the recipient is going to be.

I'm not good at this blogging thing!

This blogging thing has me stymied.  I periodically visit this space with the intention of keeping a creative diary, then move on to do other things and don't come back.  Well, I'll figure it out, but until then the following will be 'catchup posts'.  

Pic of my sweet Jet to start things off!  This was taken in 2009 so she was 6 years then.  She is going to be 12 this year.  Second pic is of her now.  She has slowed down, but still healthy, loves her cookies and her daddy.  Lol

Pineapple ..

I've always wanted to plant a pineapple top ... And tonight I did ... From everything I've read, and watched on YouTube, they say it will take about a month so see results.  I hope I can keep it alive in the northeast!

polymer clay adventure ...

Last week Nancy and I got together to play with polymer clay.  What a blast!  We pretty much read up on the internet and gave it a shot.  The following pictures are what I made ... Some beads and a floral pendant.  Not bad for a first try.  My head is swimming with ideas.  (just what I need ... Another hobby!)

Hummingbird quest!

So, my dear friend Nancy gifted me with a hummingbird feeder and the nectar to go in it on Tuesday when I went over for a Fimo adventure (another post for that).  We have them here and there on flowers, but I want more (as always!). Anyways, I put it over the rose garden, where I have now planted canna, crocosmia and day Lilly's in addition to the remaining rose bushes.  Let's hope!

There is a ninja in my house!

Just arrived today and I must day he's quite talented!
