    Christmas cactus?


    Apparently this plant doesn’t know what time of the year it is. This is the first blossom, of many, that has fully opened.

    It gave me a good opportunity to practice some more macro shots with my camera. I love macro photography!

    This plant was given by my kids school library staff last year for volunteering. Pretty simple job that gave my legs a good workout with all the squats putting the books back on the low shelves. 🙂

    In a slump…

    AGH!!
    I hate it when I get like this. I can’t seem to get into making anything!!! Too much stress…which I thought was a good thing before…has turned into overload for me. Apparently there is a threshold for stress. When it gets too high, my muse take s a vacation.

    So here’s a gnome for your viewing pleasure.

    My day…



    I made a couple more “busy bags” this morning after the kids dentist appointment.


    Between lunch and another appointment, I took our boy and a neighbor kid sledding to a near by, awesomely big and fast sledding hill. A photographer for the local newspaper was there snapping photos…we’ll have to wait and see if our kiddo makes the paper.
