Pretty pictures from the Adirondacks

SOMEONE, please tell me what this creature above is. Can a tadpole be 7-9 inches long? I am convinced Copperus Pond here has been exposed to radiation. The newts below were at Spy Lake.

Before and After

Before the buzz.

In the middle of the buzz.... and the last photograph was blurry, so a better photograph will have to wait.

Summer Crafts at Jazz Fest

I had a tent at the Syracuse Jazz Fest this year. I made lots of stuff! I wasn't real successful. I attempted to sell some new crochet necklaces, new monster purses, block prints of jazz artists, scrap bracelets, leather bracelets (as seen in a previous post), and actually sold a few of my monster stuffed animals. In the future, I will post pictures of the items I didn't include here.

Here are some shots from our recent trip to Lake Placid. Clayton did a great job on the first hike.

Crochet nesting bowls

I made these from wool yarn and have already felted them. I just need to photograph the final product. Check by again!

Zoo Visit and more

Matt is letting his hair grow as you can tell. I realized, today, that he must be going for the Vinnie Barbarino look: (think among yourselves.... don't forget to look later in the post for another striking example)






Clayton put this puzzle together ALL by himself. We are missing a few pieces, but they're around here somewhere.

Easter Eggs- a really late post

a picture I neglected to put in the Easter Day post

Recycled Leather Bracelets

Delia from Delia Creates had a terrific post of recycled accessories. I took her cue and went crazy. I have probably 10 more in the works using old buttons. I gave away a couple, but hope to sell some at a craft show this summer.
