Does moss grow fat on a rolling stone?

Well i can't say for sure, but is sure looks like it grows fat at the base of my house, yep that is moss, cool huh!

Something i thought yesterday while shooting my first few Macro shots made me think that a good reference for size was to say that i can shoot things that are the size of a pencil eraser. Which got me to thinking how cool would that look and eventually led me to the somewhat flat end of these colored pencils.

Macro Mania

I tried out my new Macro Lens Extender today and while i have not perfected the technique i am in love with the possibilities of what this little gadget is capable of doing. 

The first photo is of a new bud on my Prairie Flower, the second my porch (yep that is what cement looks like) the third is a frayed edge on my jean pocket and the forth is a crocheted washcloth (see march 15th).  

I love the texture and feel of these tight close ups, it seems as if you can almost walk through the rows of the crocheted stitching.

Irish she could stay longer.

I had a surprise visit from a Little Leprechaun this morning at 8:30, that was the surprise part, Crystal is not usually up that early. She was in town working the C.C.H.A. down at the Joe, cheering on her team the Bronco's

Puppy Love

Got to meet the new puppy next door, his name is "Red" and he is an adorable Pit Bull!

Life is Good!

Well today was my birthday and i must be getting wiser in my old age, because the simple pleasures really do mean the world to me. Life is good and i had a wonderful day.

I had a many calls, texts, and FaceBook messages wishing me a happy birthday followed by a surprise visit from my dad and then a wonderful lunch with a friend.

When i came home i had a little surprise from another friend, some hand made goodies:

An adorable little zippered pouch to stash goodies in my purse with my current favorite color orange fabric and a wonderful number print fabric. (who doesn't love number print fabric?)

Two funky, lime green, peace sign wash clothes!

And Autumn not to be out done in the homemade department while simultaneously trying to capture the coveted award of being the most photographed person on my blog, made me some delish red velvet cake balls drizzled with buttercream frosting.

One final attempt to be in the blog hall of fame for number of times photographed here is Autumn trying to capture the overall feeling of today's festivities, which appear to be pure joy.

Thanks Pinterest

Feeling inspired and googlie eyed from all the posts on Pinterest, I decided I needed to whip out some crafts stat.  Using an old pair of socks I made this wonderful "Bottle Bootie" a "Hand Cream Cozie" and a sweet pair of "Fingerless Gloves"


Thanks Pinterest!

Chaos for Calm

I finally tackled the desk in my kitchen, it was a source of clutter and chaos that i had to look at every day and it was bringing me down.  After a few trips to IKEA i came up with a much calmer zen like space. Now if someone could tell me what to do with the Rubbermaid box full of junk that came of the desk.
