Totoro Has a Green Thumb

I got this from Japan. It came with seed packets and a packet of dirt (all the size of my palm) It's alyssum I think. I'll take a photo if it ever flowers.

Recent Drawings

It's been a while since I've drawn anything. Glad I'm drawing again. It forces me to slow down and breathe.

New Knitted Project - Cat!

His name is Lucky and he's been adopted by Wes. You can't tell, but he's holding a 4-leaf clover that he's found for Wes. When Wes saw him, he said he looks like he has tasering ability from between his ears. Stupid boys... Anyway, I hope Lucky brings Wes lots of luck since he's been complaining recently about being unlucky.

Amigurumi Invasion!

The No Evil Droplets - See No Evil Snowdrop, Hear No Evil Raindrop, Say No Evil Acid Raindrop

Totoro Has a New Friend!

Meet Totoro's friend: Bear. They hang out...

They help each other...

They still needed my help in the end though.

Look What We Made!!

J & A stayed to make amigurumis (crocheted stuffed animals) from a Japanese book I got while in Japan. The mice turned out so cute and so different. I loved making them and hanging out with J & A.

Cousins Day #3

Our third "try-to-be-monthly-but-whenever-everyone's-free" cousins gathering luncheon. At Bean Sprouts vegetarian restaurant. Great grub, great gab, great gals!

Back Home Now!

Okay, this is for a certain someone who represents the "tough crowd" amongst my blog visitors. I expect this person to show the same kind of courtesy to me when he/she goes on vacation next time...
