My Crochet Today

I really haven't done much.I have been visiting someone in the hospital, so I've been more busy with that. I worked on the round afghan a little. I did take some pretty cool pictures of a small blue heron in my neighbors tree and a pileated woodpecker in my tree.

My Crochet Today

I finished up the oval rug order, so now i can start wotking on some other things. I did make more towels and now i'm going to be working on an afghan. I will take my time with it as i am modeling it after my multi colored rag rugs. The pictures not so great since i normally take pictures outside in natural light, but there's a storm coming. I hear the boom-booms in the distance.

Current Work In Progress

In between making some more hanging kitchen towels, I have been working on a custom order for an oval rag rug. When it's finished, it will measure approx 5ft x 3 1/2 ft and have a solid black trim. I'm making it from cotton t shirts that i cut into strips then crochet them together.

Another Hot Day

Here in Florida, the temps are really starting to climb. Besides that, we're in a drought and they said on the new yesterday that there are 310 active brush fires. We did get a brief nasty storm last night that lasted about 20 minutes.
Here's a picture of my thermometer on my deck from 12:30 today

How About Some Snake For Breakfast?

I was watching the big white birds  (I think they're called Ibis) poking my neighbors lawn when one of them dug up what appears to be a black racer snake.I didn't know they ate snakes. Sucked it up like spaghetti.

Current Work In Progress

I'm trying something a little different. I'm making an oval rug. Instead of mixing the colors like in my other rugs, this one will have solid rows of mixed colors.I figure i would give it a try. Here it is so far.

Look What Was Hiding On My Camera

I found a couple of close up pictures I took of a baby woodpecker. I was only a couple of feet away for these shots.

Flowers at Sunset

Here's a couple of pictures of flowers i took at sunset today. The first is a Hibiscus. The blooms only last for one day. The second is my marigolds. They look as they're reaching for the sun.
