Sepia 29/30: Eskie Tail & Foot

Sepia 29/30:  Eskie Tail & Foot


Silly little poogle.  This is one of her favorite sleeping positions-- with tummy flat on the floor.  She's also partial to the "four legs in the air" position.  (g)

Sepia 28/30: Make-Do Yarn Bowl

Sepia 28/30:  Make-Do Yarn Bowl


After reading about yarn bowls, I was curious.  I tried out this ceramic flower pot I already had around the house ($1 from Dollar Tree) and have been happy with it.  It does keep the ball of yarn from rolling all over the place and collecting dog hair.  (And it does this without the holes and/or notches that "real" yarn bowls have. Maybe I've just been lucky so far...)

(The project in/on the bowl is my first crocheted hat-- a beret/slouch-style hat in red.)

Sepia 27/30: Kindle Cover

Sepia 27/30:  Kindle Cover


I accidentally deleted all my decent photos of the Kindle cover.  I'll take more, sometime, but this is the best I can do for the photo of that day. 

It's simple, but I think it'll work.  The crocheted fabric is double thick, so it should provide decent protection (as much as non-waterproof fabric can).

I noticed acorns on the ground beneath one of our little transplanted oak trees.  I think this may be the first year I've seen it make acorns...

Gathering together the supplies to make my next crochet project-- a cover for my Kindle.

Days passing by quickly, now...

Sepia 23/30: Still Hummin' Around

Sepia 23/30:  Still Hummin' Around


Most of "our" hummingbirds have cleared out, but there are still a handful hanging around.  (Or were, as of the taking of this photo.  Now I think we may be down to our last one...)

Sepia 22/30:  Prickly


...but only in looks.  There are no sharp needles.  If there were, I wouldn't have it in the house.  Cacti scare me (enough that I don't want them within touching distance).

This grasshopper's made the little rose of sharon tree its permanent residence, I guess.

Sepia 20/30: Trixie

Trixie 

She was sitting in Donald's lap at his computer desk, demanding her share of attention. ;o)
