Killer Alien Rabbit Shadow 157/365

So I made a challenge to two of my old yahoo buddies who are, of course, now on facebook. The challenge is to take strange pictures about town with extra points if you are in them. To test my mobile upload abilities I ran out and took a picture of my foot with my phone and behold the Alien Killer Rabbit shadow .............PERFECT!

Clematis 156/365

My sister has this same clematis down in Tennessee only she thought it was a weed and tore out most of the vine. Duh. Here's the pic she sent me thinking it was a vinca bloom.


Ok maybe they aren't the same, just similar. I can live with that.

Passive Participation in Yarn Bomb/KIP Day 153/365

Stupid me didn't check in with Ravelry as soon as I should have to play a bigger role in International Yarn Bomb Day which coincided with National Knit in Public Day. I did however show up in time to catch some of the fun. My name was not included on this banner piece because I was a slacker.


Miss Videoknitter can you please tell me who this lovely lady is so we can plan some super yarn bombs? I heard her talking to the reporter and I think we are kindred spirits. BTW I fixed the stop sign yarn bomb ...the video tape cozie had slipped down so I shoved it back in place. It still looks awesome.




These looked so real!


Sorry this shot is so lame....


This is what it looked like when they were done.


No, I didn't KNIT in public...I crocheted in Public along with some other gals. It's all good the yarn was flashed and a good time was had by all.

Beating the Odds 152/365

I figure I can pay big bucks ($29.99!) for these hanging baskets and hope the bugs, hail, wind, cold, heat, and/or lax watering habits don't kill them:


Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I can spend $15 at the dollar store for fake flowers and put them in a free hanging thingy from the neighbor. Works for me!

Sock Yarn Art Scarf 151/365

In another valiant attempt to use up a portion of my sock yarn stash I made this really cool scarf. It could theoretically be the start of a baby blanket but I'm not that ambitious at present. I used a multitude of colors of sock yarn and THIS BLOG to make the scarf.



I'm too sexy for my scarf, too sexy for my scarfffffffffffffff!

Mini Stonehenge for Brian 150/365

My son-in-law, Brian, remarked that one of my dish gardens looked like the start of a Stonehenge. I put this together for him. Note to self...use E6000 next time and not Gorilla Glue...it runs too fast.

Reworking Some Broken Necklaces 149/365

These necklaces were plain long beaded ropes more or less. I broke both of them with days of each other and they had been sitting on my desk taunting me ever since. Today I fixed both of them and I am quite pleased with the results!

In Praise of Getting Things Done 148/365

Wow what a day! I swept and mopped, cleaned the bathroom, did some laundry, sewed down the last two sides of binding on the quilt, knit a few squares for the new scarf project., watered my seeds, plants and seedlings (twice it's hot and dry here), played my guitar, walked to the dollars store for fake flowers (pictures tomorrow) and that's about it. I'm headed to bed tired but happy.

This picture is almost irrelevant but I will post it anyway.

Finishing Up A Stashed Quilt 146/365

Yes I missed another day. I promise to keep going with this 365 challenge until both numbers at in my blog Title say 365/365.

Finally motivating to start the de-stash again. This quilt project was stuck up in the coat closet for a few years. Dakota sewed part of it but I'm still too angry at him to ask him to help finish it. As of today I have two sides of the binding sewed down.
