Picture day!

He he, I'm bad about this, so I thought I'd just share everything (ok, well a sample because I take a ton of pictures) that I downloaded from my camera today.

Perhaps I'll make it a weekly thing.

Anywho, on with the pictures ^-^

My azaleas have bloomed and they are always such a lovely watermelon color. This year the leaves are mostly a bright green and so it made a fun combo.

Two years ago I transplanted some pretty burgundy iris's that were growing under a bush in our yard. I also planted some purple ones as well as a white one that year. The burgundy one has bloomed and I'm happily waiting on the other colors to show. ^-^ The purple have budded. The white may not have survived. *It was a second time transplant*
I'm pretty sure I shared my happiness over making my own donuts recently, if not, let me tell you, I love making them ^-^ It's quick, no where near the sugar/fried content and yummy!


Ok, so they are donut holes but they are still donuts!

My cat (Thing One) actually likes people unlike her brother who only likes the lady across the street who likes to feed him. She has her days but most of the time she follows us around the yard.

The boys and I picked up something fun at the store today.
They are toys! Funky funny moving sushi. lol. They are little wind up sushi in different forms.

I may have to go back to get the rest of the types. he he.

And now for the boys themselves ^-^

Kai went off on his own while Mom and I had our garage sale last weekend. He walked over to her front steps and sat for a bit.


Madd wanted to stay out with us the whole time and ended up in a coat of my moms. We were laughing that he looked like a little thug when he's really the farthest from one.
The boys had Popsicles while we spent some warm afternoon outside time and it was interesting to see how they ate them. Madd dove right in and started biting his, K didn't, he's a savor it guy.
So thats my picture scramble for the week. ^-^ Hope you enjoyed!

Elysium the faun poppet

She's been floating around in my head for a good bit so I thought I'd let her out. ^-^



Today I took her outside and got some shots while it was nice and sunny. Though she said it was too cold and quickly wanted to go back in. *chuckles*




For now she's back to hanging out with Calypso. Which I'm not sure is a great idea....they might be scheming. ^-~

Ah Spring

I've been feeling a bit more like I want to get out and plant some things, but I know it will have to wait a while. The weather here is a mess. ^-^ Today it was in the 70's but by the end of the week it promises to be chilly again. Who knows.

In the spirit of spring I felt like making a new banner for my shop. Its the same as the one above us here, and its a bit on the different side. But it's fresh and I like that.


Plus I've been going the spring route with the new jewelry pieces I've been making.

Heres a sampling. ^-~


This last piece I've been trying to figure out how to finish off. It's made to be worn with a ribbon or something but I just haven't found the right set up for it yet. Same theme though.




And as for the rest of my crafting....I've got a poppet in the works (the dolls) but I just haven't had the time to clean out my machine before I can start. Felting wise I've kind of hit a stand still. Partially because I've been so wrapped up in the moving out of my husband. (Not a bad thing 0-0, he's just working for a bit in the area were going to be moving to soon. Getting things set up as it were.)

Oh and I've been itching to pick up spinning. So with the profits of the last few sales, I'm buying a small drop spindle to try it out. I've got a stash of roving so I can start with that. It just looks like too much fun!

Anywho, off to bed now, sleepy sleepy and all that.
