When DId You Last See A

Double Rainbow? I stepped on the deck and saw a rainbow which I hardly ever see anymore when it rains. But when I stepped out front to get the paper there is the double one. Gonna be a great day.

Esther

Meet Esther. She is my nerdbot and thos are knitting needles which belonged to my paternal grandmother who knitted all the time. They are removable in case I need them. Now to find her a place of honor.

Esther is a retired shnchronized and competitive swimmer who loves sports cars and reading murder mysteries. She now spends her free time knitting, baking, sipping strong coffee and caring for her prized cat figurines.

I absolutely love her. You can see more nerdbots at nerdbots.net.

Aloe Vera Plant

Further progress on the aloe vera, I am not quite sure what will bloom but something might.

Watching The Decorah Eagles

I admit I have become an eagaholic. It is so much fun and very addictive to watch these eaglets growing. YOu can watch them grow daily and see how great parents they have.

I caught Bucky looking at momma feed them their morning snack of Trout. If you haven't looked at them what are waiting for, but be careful they will suck you in.

Furthur Bloomage on the Aloe Vera

So here is the bloom and how it is progressing and a picture of the actuall aloe plant, it is a little out of control but hey it is supposed to do this isnt it?

Aloe Vera Plant

I have a huge aloe vera plant that takes up a corner in my house. I replanted it a couple years ago into the biggest pot I could find. I noticed the other day it had this growth. Well it is going to bloom. According to what I could read online it should never bloom. If indoors it is highly unlikely to bloom, they need southern light (it is in the NE corner of the living room), it gets watered whenever, and had never been fertilized. But here it is gonna bloom. I will keep you posted on the progress of the bloom.

Air Your Parts Day

I know mom but I had to post this. Two of my girls must either be hot or just wanted to let it all hang out cos it is air your parts day here.

Bucky and Groucho

Happy Easter

I hope everyone had a great day, it was beautiful here. I made an asparagus tart which was very yummy. I will make this again.

This is my APril Cell Phone Cover: Purple Hunny Bunny

This is my ereader cover, did you expect anything else? Pattern is Death by Kindle found over there.

Socks for Soldiers

I was asked to make some socks for soldiers, this is KnitPicks Palette yarn.

Gingkho Shawl

I used yarn I had in my stash and somehow my pattern did not come out as written but I like it anyway.

St Pat's Shawl

I wanted a green shawl for St Pat's Day. It weas in the 80;s so I did not wear it but maybe some year it will be cool enough for it. I had 4 skeins of this yarn in my stash. The pattern is I Love This Wrap by Rosebud Designs. I used Lamb's Pride in the Forest Shadows colorway.

The Loopy Ewe 2012 First Quarter Challenge

THe challenge was to use silk in the yarn. I chose Tiffant Triangle Shawl from Wendy Lace Knits. I used 590 yards of Sweetgeorgia in the ultraviolet colorway. This yarn was dreamy to work with. Hermione was jealous Lucy is always in the blog posts so she insisted in being in the picture.

Decorah Bald Eagles

I have finally got sucked into the miracle of life watching the eagles and their eaglets about to appear in the world. You can catch them at http://www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles. Not only are they majestic creatures and our national bird but watching them makes the crap in the world go away. There are three eggs and one of the eggs has been cracked so an eaglet will soon be here followed by the other two. You need to read below the streaming and see just how large this nest is 1367 pounds and this is the 4th winter it has been used. Mom and dad both sit on the eggs and keep them warm and safe. It is truly a beautiful thing to watch and knowing the whole world is watching makes it that more special. Go grab a cup of coffee and spend some time watching the miracle of life.
