I've got a lot to share today...so, here goes:
My brother in law is an artist. He also has a wicked funny sense of humor. You can check him out here. Anyway, for X-mas we gave him a pad of canvas paper, and I asked him to reserve two for the kids so I could hang them in their rooms. He filled the entire pad up! And gave them all to us!!! Here is a good sampling:
And he gave us a print of one of his paintings!
I have it matted and framed. The glass is giving a little bit of a glare....Sorry about that. Moe has claimed it for his room. Thanks Keith!
***
We are growing things!
Next week I hope a mop or dustpan will sprout.
Here is my newest succulent garden:
***
I started a blanket. I may never be done. I am not kidding.
It calls for over 200 of these hexagons. What did I get myself into?? :)
Also, I am working on a water bottle bag for those long days at the park or zoo. I am making the strap pretty short because once you put a full water bottle in it, it stretches.
***
And finally:
Last night I got together with some mommas and hung out. It was great fun. We were laughing at the old "I can't believe it's not butter" ads...The Aldi version of that spread looks a lot like the original in design.....Maybe you had to be there? I still find it funny.
Have a great week!

What fun drawings! We had a great time with you this week & can't wait til you visit us!
Cool! you are getting pretty handy with the crocheting. you could probably crochet a batman mask with a connected cape. I wonder if that would sell in the winter. the cape would be better than a scarf.
Angel, we are so ready!!! Can't wait! :)
Keith--Thanks! The cape would be fun...I try to think up patterns for everything...Imagine everything done in crochet! Ha!
I LOVE the blanket you are crocheting, it's going to be gorgeous!!!!
Love the canvas pics, what a talent he is and such a fun gift to give back!

Lisa, I am still looking for that pattern for your friend. I promise I will find it sometime soon!
those pictures are awesome! You could scan them and make a fun coloring book :) I love your quilt, it is beautiful!!
blanket, not quilt... you know what I mean ;)
Maggie, thanks for that great idea!!! I will do that! That would be a lot of fun for the kids! Thanks. And yeah, I knew what you meant!
The coloring book idea is great!
Hey, you know those guys on starwars with the long wormy growths on their heads and they'd wrap them around their necks? imagine a crocheted full-head hat with a hole for the face, and it has a long growth out the top you wrap around your neck. you could sell them at sci fi conventions.
Here he is:
