Llama Llama Red Pajama

I went with my friend, Em, to see Llama Llama Red Pajama put on by the Penguin Players at the Fountain City Library. Of course it was for our daughters to be able to see it, but I admit it was really cute. They are making a circuit around the Knox County Libraries, so if you want to see it look at the events calender at the library web site (link). Both of the girls seemed to enjoy it. Otter watched the whole time!

Griffin Is Here!

Since BJ and M did not get many pics today, I thought I would add a picture of the new little one.

The whole family together

Weird Crafts

Today I was looking for some images to create my own background for my crochet blog when I found this...A knitted dissected frog! It is mounted on a frame to make it look like it is pinned to a tray, just like in Biology class. This is really weird! Just had to share it so you could get a laugh, too!

Oh, by the way...the artist selling these art pieces on Etsy has a category called Knitted Dissections. They have three different animals for your choosing pleasure! And Joe...the artist is in Burlington, VT! To visit the site of The Crafty Hedgehog here is a link: CraftyHedgehog

Diaper Cake

If you have never seen a diaper cake it is a very interesting concept. It is a way to give an expectant mother diapers in a more creative way than in the original packaging. I just finished one that went to M and her little GJ.

My Endangered Plants

It seems that when you get men together to mow a yard there is always the inevitable killing of plants. I thought that my yard was safe, until within the last few days. Today I was outside, in the cold I might add, to look over the plants that are coming up right before our current cold spell takes effect. I had watched as my son trampled upon my lilies as he was turning the mower around on Saturday, but what I did not see was the most horrifying, atrocious act. I have always loved lilac bushes. Preferably the old fashioned lilac, but I enjoy others as well. I had last year purchased a Josee Lilac which is a beautiful pink and a rebloomer. I was so excited to see that it had grown from last year. How sad I was when I was out today and found it chopped down to a couple of inches and the copper marker in front of it was obliterated! I guess I must make sure to make a larger barrier around my plants until they are large enough to be noticed!Now I am left to hope that it is not killed by this act, but will grow back with no visible damage as quickly as possible.
