This will be the year of de-stashing. I will be finishing projects started long ago and using the materials I have on hand as much as possible for any new projects.
To that end, I made this little dust cover for the sewing machine. I have had this beautiful patterned fabric forever, saving it for something "special". Well, today was declared Special, because, really, isn't every day special. Actually, this started as a cover for the Kitchenaid mixer, but on a whim I tried it on the sewing machine and viola, a perfect fit, plus it matches the decor in this room.
On a roll now, I gathered the supplies for my next project. I recently developed a bit of an obsession with the idea of making a terrarium. I found a nice glass bowl at Goodwill and a few little succulents from Lowe's. A brief search of the homestead turned up the rest of the items as well as some glass critters as potential candidates for a new environment.
I have no idea what varieties of succulents these are, but I'm especially taken with the one in the upper right, it looks like weird tentacles with cup-like indentations at each tip, very alien.
The arid landscape in miniature proves to be a perfect place to catch a glimpse of the always elusive Black Dragon.
It was a fine day of football for the guys, but before the sporting excitement started they took care of a little household repair.
