Eye Candy Friday...

...and I'm ready for the weekend!

I'm still trying to get back to some sense of normal after the last few weeks. That includes trying to get into the habit photographing things again.

Based on my photos, you might think that we have a decent front and backyard. The truth is, they are pretty small - the Husband just packs in as much as he can in the space we have.

Here's what the front yard looked like when I got home last night. Except for a narrow parking strip on the other side of the driveway, this is the entire front yard:

Here's what the backyard looked like this morning. This is not the entire backyard - it's L-shaped and I can't get far enough back to take a photo of the whole thing.

Currently, we have scilla blooming:

Foxgloves:

Starfire cuphea:

and a whole bunch of other flowers.

Up this weekend: My plan is to finish winding the warp for the Shimmering Points Wrap (weaving) [Ravelry]. And if I get that done, maybe start dressing the loom!

More than likely, I'll need to take a break and work on something else, but I don;t know what that might be yet.

Sunday is Cinco de Mayo, so there will be a little cerveza and some Mexican soul food. ¡Viva México!

Blogiversary Contest...

...Happy Blogiversary to me!! It's been 3 years since I started this blog. In that time I've gone from being mostly a cross-stitcher and quilter to being a knitter and spinner. I still cross stitch and quilt, but I spend far more of my craft time knitting and spinning. In honor of the blog turning 3, I'm having a contest! Leave a comment in this post to be entered in a drawing for a skein of Sundara Petals Collection sock yarn (or a skein of my handspun, if you prefer). The winner will be chosen at random from all entrants. Deadline: 1/12/09 at Midnight (Pacific time) Good luck! (Jaywalker socks in progress)

Yeah, who knew I'd still be doing this five years later? There have been a few changes since my first post . I'm no longer just a stitcher and quilter. I've added knitter, spinner, and weaver to the list. I also dabble in macro photography I changed the name of the blog to be more "me." I changed the layout. I have more than one reader. (Don't burst my bubble, please. LOL!) I've settled into a MWF schedule of posting, except when life and work get in the way. I still find the blog a useful journal of the projects I have in process and my mindset at the time I'm working on them. A little personal stuff gets thrown in from time to time. So, for now, blogging is still working for me. If you've been reading all along...thanks for joining me on this little journey! I plan on continuing as long as it is still useful for me. OK, on to the contest: Leave a comment on this post by Midnight PST, Wednesday 1/19/11. (No, multiple comments will ...

...is it time to go home yet? We have hollyhocks growing in the garden: and Mega Monkey flowers: It rained a bit yesterday and this morning so everything is covered with a light layer of raindrops. These tomato flowers looked very cool with all the little drops: And the Lucky Lantern abutilon had a few drops: Our berry harvest is out of control: While I love the berry galettes that the Husband has been baking, I'm afraid my waistline can't handle too many more! Up this weekend: Some household chores and then crafting. I'll continue rotating through the crafts, keeping needlepoint and knitting as the TV crafts and working on the others during the day. I also want to choose the block size for my attic windows quilt so I can start cutting out the feature squares. I'd like to see some progress on this quilt soon! .
