I wanted to do two brick stitch birds today, but so far, I have only done one: this pretty pink and blue finch. I am going to make it into a pin. Next will be a cardinal bird. I think the finch took me about two hours to make, but there was a lot of distractions in between so not entirely sure. Plus, I had to pick the bead colors, so that always makes it take a while the first time I make it. Yay! I just finished the cardinal bird, stayed up late to do so, as I am usually busy on Wednesday. Both birds took about 2 hours each to make. The Cardinal was easier to pick colors for, as it had less, and only had to replace 4 colors but both birds turned out really well. Patterns/Kits should be available this Friday. Also made: My niece wanted me to make her some homemade french fries. I don't think I've ever made ones like this, but they turned out great. And she ATE them! Yippee! Just 3 red potatoes cut into small french fry type slices, then fried in some canola oil until crunchyish with salt added on top. They were good, but she was only willing to share about 5 of them. And to finish, an interesting picture of my cat, sitting on the window sill, behind my TV. Which is also my Plex Server/HTPC. And a beautiful one of our dog Molly that turned out really well... makes her look so young. :)

This is one of my designs that I made a long time ago, and just now got around to making. I wanted to bead something up that would only take me a a day or two, and this one fit the bill. The most complicated part was picking out the colors. I had a whole tray of beads to choose from varying in shades etc, and somehow I ended up with perfect shades, which is fine with me. This has black, white, gold, silver, and many different colors, including some that I have always loved, but never had the oppurtunity to use. This only took me two days to make. I am not sure how many hours, but it is an easy design to get down and works up easily. After I was done my neice looked at it and said, "That's pretty, looks like the TV off air picture." Which, I guess it sorta does. At least it doesn't sound like one, I remember those things usta be super annoying. Anyway, I still havta finish the actual bracelet up. Really happy with how this turned out. And to complete today's post, I am including a pic of my cat Audrey and a picture of what I made today, french bread pizza a la vegetable (with turkey pepperoni). My sister is always wanting me to make easier, quicker, cheap meals, so here is one. I do most the cooking, around here, but sometimes simple is what is needed and homecooked. I love tomatoes on a pizza, especially good tomatoes. I also like mushrooms but all I had is canned, and since the rest were fresh vegetables, decided to leave it at that... Crunchy breaded pizza cooked in ten minutes or less... guaranteed not to last...
Just finished these new penguin patterns. They both worked up in under an hour, so they are quick projects. These are done in brick stitch or odd count peyote. They were both smaller than I expected, and oh so cute. Both use less than 7 colors. I think I will make them into pins, or perhaps a necklace, we shall see. My birds made into pins...
