African Violet Finished!

I've been a bit under the weather this weekend so I've pretty much just been sitting and crocheting.  The African Violets are finished!  Went pretty quickly!

African Violets

This crochet-along ends Aug 31st.  Can I crank out a pot of African Violets by then??  Stay tuned!

Great Big (real!) Spider

This big hairy spider has a beautiful web.  She just hangs out in the middle of it in the backyard and doesn't bother anyone!  Wonder what kind she is?

Fish: "Add a touch of nature to your page with these hungry little fish. Watch them as they follow your mouse hoping you will feed them by clicking the surface of the water."

Great Big Fly finished!

I finished the Great Big Fly yesterday.  I want to take the bugs outdoors and get some better pictures.  Indoor shots at night aren't as good.  Fly spent the night with us in the bed with Bumblebee.
