Look What Was In My Tree Today

You hear these birds before you see them. They are called Quaker Parrots. They are very vocal. It's been said they escaped from a zoo years ago when there was a hurricane, and have since managed to thrive out in the wild.(I don't know if this is fact or not) Anyway, I was able to get some pictures of them.

 

Even though they scare me, I felt bad

I decided to do some yard work yesterday by weeding out the very overgrown areas under my shrubs/flowers. I know the "George" the black racer lives around the area somewhere, as he (just say it's a he) has let his presence know to me a number of times by slithering around the front yard. I kept this in the back of my mind as i started to pull some weeds. It was getting too much for my hands and back to handle, to i grabbed the garden hoe. Well now I'm making some progress. As i chopped the hoe into the dirt to cut away some weeds, a strange thing caught the corner of my eye. It was wiggling  and hopping around like crazy.I cursed and jumped back thinking it was George. Looking a bit closer, i saw that it was about a five inch piece of his tail. As much as i don't like snakes, I couldn't just chop them up (unless they're poisonous) I hope it can grow a new tail, do they? So now I'll have to keep a look out for old stubby.

Just a picture today, but it's so cute

My Recycled Crochet Project: Bottle Cap Flower Pincushion Crochet Pattern

I designed this cute little flower pincushion using a plastic bottle cap (from vodka or any similar size of approx 1 1/4 inches wide by 1 inch high.) You can use any size you wish,(you just need to adjust the rounds to accommodate) but i'll use this for the example. I stuffed the cap with fiberfill and crocheted the flower around it. I use one right by the computer for easy access when I'm reading patterns off the computer and need my needles.
This is also a great way to use up little yarn scraps!
So here's what you'll need to make it
a plastic bottle cap  (any size you want)
a small amount of fiberfill or leftover scarp yarn
a small amount of yarn (your choice of colors, textures)
size F crochet hook

My Crochet Today

I've been working on some smaller projects lately. My hands have been very sore, so i haven't been able to crochet as much. I did manage to make some bookmarkers and list them in my Artfire shop. I really need sales this week to pay some utilities due. Just trying to keep positive. All i need now if a hurricane to come along-'tis the season here.
Well anyway, here's some of the thread crochet i've done
