Little Witch
Getting into the fall/Halloween mode here. I'm going to make hair for her out of that pink wool roving. Now, on to make a little cape. …and a bit later… Cape done! A few details yet to come. I know I've mentioned this before, but I always get nervous at this point in making a

The official end of summer. Snow on the mountains! It had been raining for a couple days, and when the clouds lifted ~ snow caps ~ signaling the "termination" of summer. I wonder if that's just an Alaska thing? Do they call it termination dust when the the first snow lands on the mountains in

A fair day…
Ok, do you know what kind of critter that is? When I saw it from 10 or 15 feet away, I thought it was a bunny. It's a chicken! A Silkie Bantam to be exact. We visited the state fair today and the first stop we made was the chicken exhibit. Who knew there were

Bees, birds, interesting connections & a wonderfully spooky story.
The Jardin box on the bottom is the one I mentioned yesterday as the "before" of my project. When I saw them at Michael's, I really loved the shape & they were a great $ deal. {About $4 each I think?} I knew the word on the box was French, but actually had to look
