I carved pumpkins with my brother with the Pumpkin Masters kit left over from a past Halloween using the stencil method. Above is his pumpkin. The title of the pattern is ‘fangs’ and you can sort of tell that he still has one tooth left. This pumpkin weighed over 30 lbs and had a lot of gunk [...]

In the spirit of Halloween my mother made a haunted dollhouse. Orange lights inside the house glow from behind the skeleton at night.
A wide view of the whole front, complete with non-spooky neighbors. The “Happy Halloween” sign behind the dead tree was actually a one of those foam kits you can buy at JoAnns.
And what is [...]

The sun is out today! Seriously a picture perfect autumn day. I walked the dog around town and spotted a hand-knit grey hat and a crochet scarf. Yarn projects are finally out and about.
In other news, my flower motif baby blanket finally saw the light of day. The motifs are from the Flower Garden Scarf, available in the [...]

Biscuit the Dog. She is intently watching the tennis ball in my hand. Really she is very patient waiting for me to photograph her before throwing the ball; just licking her chops.
I’m not sure if this is true for all Jack Russell Terriers, but Biscuit has always had the idea that I should wrestle with [...]

I’m always caught off guard when the days get shorter. Today I thought I had enough sunlight for a color photo, but no. I’ll post the details about this flower motif blanket when I can muster up enough natural light.
*That’s cool* a random fact
Trees are the longest living organisms on earth.

I feel as though the entire house is being insulated by spiderwebs. Their favorite locations for spinning webs are bushes and doorways. I mind the later since I have to use them to enter the house. The good news is I have only had to remove one guest from inside the house, [...]

My brother got this Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Mega Zord in a trade for a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle action figure when he was ten. His best friend apparently initiated the swap, which I take solace in since it was not a very fair trade. The original Zord is a compilation of five different prehistoric [...]
Numerous papercuts

I made a couple tangram sets out of thick scrapbooking paper. I felt the pieces were too light, so I filled them 3/4 full with rice. I’m not sure if the rice will spoil and if I did it again I would use a non- food product like plastic beads or stuffing pellets.
This [...]

How cute is this blanket? This is the 100% cotton Plaid Baby Blanket from FAO Shwarz. Those bright and unconventional colors, especially the black, really caught my eye. The site says the colors, “promote visual stimulation”. I’ll have to take their word for it.
You can own one [...]
