Not sure but I think this is some kind of Warbler. Very, very tiny.
This is a Red Winged Black Bird. We have lots and I think they empty the feeders.
Isn't he gorgeous? This is a Painted Bunting, very colorful!
Blue Grossbeak - fat little bird.
Indigo Bunting. There are 3 pairs of these.
This happened almost instantly after she scratched me. Poor thing, she hates having her nails trimmed but they grow and grow so we tackle her every few weeks. She barely grazed my arm with her foot but, when you're on blood thinners (Plavix) this is what happens. It didn't bleed, just instantly bruised.
This is my first try at some Fuzzy Feet. I'm using some Lion Wool that I picked up at Michaels. This isn't bad for felting slippers but it's too itchy for me to use for a sweater. I love getting the variegated and a solid to match. I have more, too, that I bought last week.
This is a briefcase pattern that the Baby Girl picked out when we were in St. Mary's. This too, is Lion Wool. The pattern is from Chris Bylsma Designs, called Making Waves, which I've never heard of. It's a fun pattern and fast, done on 15 needles. I only work on it a little each day cause those big, chunky needles make my hands sore.
The Roommate, farthest from the camera, giggled so hard throughout her hops, that the Granddaughter won. See the pile at the end of the line? That's manure! Neither of them fell in it. It was my favorite kind of weekend with lots to do and see. I bought some plants and BTB put them in the ground today. I got him a Banana Bush that is supposed to be native to this area and actually grow banana's and a Bottle Brush bush. I got an Angel Trumpet for me. My parents have one and the thing fascinates me with those huge flowers. So, lots of fun.
I was so excited while opening it! You know, a lot of bloggers get gifts in the mail from blogging buddies far and near and some of us are very envious of those friends that you've never met but who you've become friends with via the computer. Well, now I'm one of you! This cute little lamby (Her name is Mini), who in no way, shape or form looks anything like a rat :o), was a gift to me from Susan and I can't tell you how happy I was to see this cute little thing! She even came in her own Easter Basket. Here, another picture, minus Squirt.
Isn't that the cutest thing? And she's holding a yellow flower, which I'm guessing is a daffodil, my favorite! Susan, you made my day! Thank you so much!
I just kind of through it over my monitor but you can see how much is done compared to the last picture.
Morris (orange) and Bear (black, behind my leg) wanted to get in the picture. Can you see my toes? Love that color. The green on the deck? P O L L E N - I hate that stuff. I have to stay in till it's no longer green on my decks. It's everywhere.
This is the newest lamb added to my growing collection. The enabling came from a fellow blogger, I found a link for it in my e-mail about a week and a 1/2 ago and of course, fell in love. It also came with a sweater pattern so she can have sweaters, too. It is so soft and has a bean bag in it's backside so it can sit. I got it from patternworks and it was on sale. I think he's just adorable. Thanks again Susan!
My Wee Tiny Sock arrived in yesterday's mail. Isn't it adorable? Laura hand dyed the yarn and even sent me a mini skein "for repairs." And isn't the card cute? I'm thinking it's a petunia, close up, macro, but I could be wrong. I think it's pretty. Thank you so much Laura, you did a great job, on both the sock and the dying.
The blue in the bottom right corner is Trecking XXL sock yarn. I got some of the new clips for holding seams together, 3 skeins of Regia Silk to make Clapotis, a cute little thimble pouch kit, Fiesta yarn to make a shawl and the ones in the back you can just barely see are Wool in the Woods Maiden, both for another shawl. One is an off white and the other is different shades of pink, grey and green variegated. And on the right, behind the Trecking, is 2 skeins of Mountain Colors hand painted sock yarn. BTB has asked for a pair of socks so the Moose Creek colorway is for him and the Elderberry colorway is for me. What a fun yarn shop to walk around. Room after room just chock full of all the latest and greatest. Main Street Yarn and Fiber in Watkinsville, GA. (if you click on the name it'll take you there. not sure where this blue underlined stuff is coming from!)
If you can enlarge it you'll see the mess. My nose isn't happy with spring but I'm loving the 80 degree temps from inside the sunroom.
Happy Knitting!
I took my oldest granddaughter shopping for her birthday and she had a gift card for Build a Bear and she was sitting right at the door, and she's a limited edition and I couldn't resist!
And, I finished this
I started these for my son about 2 years ago! They're made with Plmouth Encore Worsted and still are taking forever but the kids got a size 14 shoe and very wide. So, about 2 more years and he might have a pair.
