Scrabble: We Tied

We tied at 266. How funny is that? My words of note: pee *giggle*, axe (with x on triple letter), um... and stalk. OH! And orient. YAY!

I love Scrabble.

Flowers and Butterflies

My day off on Monday wasn't as productive as I thought but I made two beautiful things.



Must go! Going to be late for work O_O

CSN On My Rainy Day

Rainy days are perfect for web window shopping. CSN boasts that they make shopping easy and I believe it. You can get anything from a bar stool to complete your set at the counter or a garden gnome to make sure your carrots aren't lonely. For me though? I've been browsing CSN in search of a new bag.

 Sooo pretty. O_O 

I'm on the move a lot and need a "mobile studio" bag. And there are so many to choose from... I'm happy its rainy and I can just curl up under my blanket with my laptop and window shop. I should probably be making stuff but the CSN sites are so fun to surf. Maybe just a few more pages...

Hooty-hoo


My first attempt at drawing an owl. Not very owl-like in my opinion. RH added the claw to see if it would help it... I don't think it did. Looks a bit like a cat. So. I asked him to draw one...


His attempt looks a bit more owl-like. Though, honestly, I do think he looks a bit like Batman :P



A few more goes and I think I got it. In one of my many books, there are instructions on how to add an illustration to a piece of polymer clay. I see a pendant in my future!

Hopefully :P

Wired Dragonflies

I couldn't find my headpins (how does someone just LOSE a thing of headpins!?) and ended up making something of my own for the fire polished beads dangling with the dragonflies. I could always change them if I find my headpins (still unbelievable) but I rather like the little swirly I made.

My wire sculptures are a bit messy, no? I like them like that. I wonder if others do too?

My Rockstar


I've decided to give crocheting another go. And while I'm sitting there counting chains and fighting the yarn, RH decides that he's going to practice the guitar. One of our first dates, he played his guitar for me. He even wrote the song himself, long ago, for another girl I'm sure, but hey. I wasn't always his girl.

Bunnies and Duckies

I think my cousin's family is slowly building a zoo.


We have three bunny rabbits. Two black and white ones like the one above and an all black one. The one above is cleaning itself like a cat! I didn't know they did that! The same one likes to lick your fingers when you go to pet it. They're adorable. There's one for each kid. The oldest, Luke, named his black bunny Shadow. The youngest, David (who I think is 3), named his black and white one Iron Man. Lily, the middle child, hasn't named hers but she wants to name it after a goddess of love. RH says there's a goddess named Easter and I thought, "So, the rabbit would be Easter Bunny?"

We also have 4 ducks. One is hiding. They're very cute... loud... and messy. Like me! Hahaha.

I want a bunny. But I want an angora rabbit. So I can spin spin yarn (I know. I'm so full of ideas). I've been reading a lot of memoirs and one I read mentioned keeping rabbits for their wool. And they're tame and sweet and can be litter box trained.

How can you not fall in love with a creature that looks like this? I think I would name it Wocket (I know that you can't really name something until you know they're personality but still...) because it looks like something out of a Seuss book!
