I'm taking a belly dancing class with my sister, and this is a shot of my brand new jingle scarf/sash/shawl thingy.

Starting seeds!  Spring is coming.  So far I've started sweet peppers, hot peppers, tomatoes, leeks, brussel sprouts, and eggplants.

Roses hung up to dry...they make nice dried arrangements, even if they are a little brittle.

The lilies are opening up really nicely, and smell amazing.

Seeds!!!  Gotta take advantage of having Dad's garden at my disposal this summer :D

Spent the morning/afternoon at the American Kite Association region 6 kite festival/meet in Clear Lake, Iowa.  Very nice day, although it was a little odd to be walking around on a frozen lake watching people fly kites.  I'm sure everyone raised in the south thinks we are all crazy...kite flying in February, on a frozen lake nonetheless!

Redone funeral flowers from Grandpa's funeral today...the pink lilies and the red roses were from the casket spray and the middle vase was from a basket arrangement.

This is the beginning of the lining.  I finished the sleeves and shoulder pads for the outside, and now basically have to repeat the process for the inside.  Least it means I don't have to finish all those seams!

365 project: February 12th, 2012 Day #43

Got the collar and one sleeve attached...the second sleeve looks likes it is on, but it is just kinda hanging out on the table.  Wasn't actually going to baste the sleeve in (horrible of me, I know), but apparently forgot what stitch setting I had the machine on, and wound up basting anyway!  Serendipity corrected my laziness!

Yummy hot chocolate, courtesy of Nestle.  Its a bit of a pain to chop it up, but its worth it :)

My new ipod...early birthday present from the hubby :)  now I just have to figure out how to make the game app that I got work...grrrrrrrr

Made a yummy green salsa tonight to go with our tostadas...roasted tomatillos are great!

Wonderful DVD...kinda wish I could see the show in person...

The jacket in progress, little more like a vest right now, but I still need to iron and cut the lining fabric, so I was trying to get some of the pieces sewed together to make it easier.  But, I will say, plaid is a bitch to sew, especially when the fabric is a little stretchy!  I either have to be a little less picky about the pattern matching up or cut each piece one at a time, matching as I go.  Makes you realize why those nice couture items have great matching plaids and a price tag to match, while the stuff you buy at Walmart looks like shit, but you can afford it!

365 project: February 4th, 2012 Day #35

The dress is cut out!!  Yay me! :D

365 project: February 3rd, 2012 Day #34

Its been foggy and cold for a few days, but today we had a little bit of hoarfrost all day, not a enough to make everything look like someone flocked the outdoors, but enough to make dead stems interesting.

365 project: February 2nd, 2012 Day #33

Fruit pizza, courtesy of my sister...a wonderful dessert let me tell you...sugar cookie crust topped with cream cheese frosting and fresh fruit.  Delicious! :D

Poor kitty...we had to take him to the vet to fix a hematoma in his ear...so now he's sporting some really weird ear jewelry!  Hopefully it will heal well.
