Toasty the Snowman

I just added him to my etsy page! I really like how he tuned out. I unravelled a sweater and it still had the curly, swirly texture of the knitting. Then I needle felted it to a base of the same sweater cut into a snowman shape.

I made a few but one is reserve for a relative and the other is for a MOMS Club raffle. 

I don't know what I'm gonna make when Christmas is over. I've had so much fun with the ornaments. I wonder if everyday trees will ever catch on?

Weird Morning

After being asked if I was pregnant and punched in the arm by a renegade jogger, it would be nice to come home to a glorious garden and relax in the shade of a free peach tree.
But, alas, we are still pretty far from that dream.
I've transplanted some succulents and found others at the 99 cent store. The tree was free and the other stuff was super cheap. Eventually there will be grass on the right of the treated lumber edging. And in the center of the yard, off to the right of the photo, will be an olive tree. Olive-less, of course.
Right now I'm off to ask my garden goddess neighbor her advice on what plants I can add to the mix to complete the "look." There will be one soon, I promise.
