Ice Crystal Caves

This is the baby squirrel Shawn and the girls found on a bikeride. It was so so sweet. We named it Rocky, but Chloe decided it should be called Ice Crystal Caves. She is well known for her extra long names. Like her hippo is named Marching Band Parade. We found a rescue for the little baby where it will live with an adopted squirell family. It was really amazing to be holding a non-domesticated creature. It was really like having a baby. You have to keep it's body temp really warm, so I wrapped it in a blanket and carried it around in a baby sling for most of the day. We have a habit of finding some kind of wild or dometic creatures every summer. Last summer it was the mommy and 5 baby kittens, and the year before that it was Smeagle the Beagle. This was the wildest by far.

I got my package from YesAsia yesterday. I was too tired last night to start any projects, so I just marked pages and kicked myself for not learning Japanese from all those Japanese exchange students we had living with us growing up! I took them with me today while I subed at the girl's school. I was in the Jr. High class, they are an easy bunch believe it or not.
Also, NEVER, i repeat NEVER take out your own stitches. I got a mole removed on my arm last week, and it got all gross and infected. so i couldn't leave the darn thing alone. I took out the stitches last night because they itched so bad, well, not such a good idea. I'm going to have a dandy of a scar. oh well, I'll just get a tattoo over it.

me sorting a bunch of wool covered in sheep poop. I was really excited when I got the wool from one of the teachers at school. little did I realize what a job washing wool is. I haven't even made a dent in all of it yet, but I'm looking forward to carding it then hopefully spinning some.

I think it's time that I really really try to get this thing going. After failed attempts many times to start a blog, i think I have found my inspiration. Not only have I found an abundant amount of blogs that i love out there in blogland, but i actually have things to say! amazing. i also have friends who know how much i despise the phone and my bad emailing habbits. perhpaps this will keep me in check. mainly i want to post my crafts and finds. tis the season for sales and rummages, and i have allready found so much good stuff. i have dedicated today to getting organized. such a crazy hobby. so my goals for this blog are:

* to post my crafts (knitting, sewing, baking, gardening, etc)
* to keep in touch with my friends
* to make some new crafting buddies
* to inspire myself to keep on doing creative things everyday

let's see if I can....
