     A couple of curious crystalline fungi have appeared in my landscaping.

    I haven’t decided weather or not to let them be.

    I like the smaller of the two better. (second photo)

    The mushroom cap has a better shape.

    Please excuse the weeding that needs to be done in the mulch. I’ve had a busy week.

    This was yet another project inspired by Pinterest.

    Plant Markers

    June 4, 2013 - By 

    plant markersI finally got around to making the plant markers that I’ve been thinking about since last Fall.  They are just so darn cute!!

    UPDATE:  I really should have explained what I did with these. Everyone is asking so…

    I dipped the spoons in ordinary black craft paint and hung them to dry. I used a white colored pencil to write on them. It’s currently raining…so far so good on it not washing off. Only time will tell. If it’s a grand fail I’ll let you all know in a new post. 🙂

    Pattern challenged

    May 2, 2013 - By 

    Ok…it took me three rounds to to notice my mistake.  Do you see it?

    Here’s a clue…

    We all learned in school that hex means 6, correct?!

    And now lets count together…

     Like I’ve said many times…I’m pattern challenged.

    I think watching TV while crocheting isn’t the best idea to begin with but I can’t blame it all on that. Maybe next time I’ll try and easier pattern…and learn to count more accurately.

    I’m not giving up and starting over. I’ll just have a pentagonal dishcloth. There’s nothing wrong with that. If a Pentagon is good enough for the U.S. Military…it’s good enough for me and my dishes.
