Woodland Garden

Last year I added a small woodland garden to the front of my house. The area presented some challenges due to the north facing, tall house blocking out all of the direct sun. I turned to local woodland plants and a year later the garden is starting to look stunning. Much of the look of the garden is based on shades of green and texture since many woodland plants only flower in the early spring.

These two are a native geranium:





This one is called foam flower, it is great for ground cover and shoots up spikes of foamy white flowers in the spring.

Nature

I went on a hike last weekend. This is what I came across:

New camera!

I got a new camera the other day and have been playing around with it. I'm really enjoying the micro lens and the flash aspects of this camera. Here are a few shots.

Bubble Wrap

Ghostly Stairs

It has been eons since I've posted anything. I've been busy knitting away on a hooded sweater for Ronnie and have been trying to squeeze in a luxurious scarf for myself (in preparation for the ultimate knitting project). When I went to photograph my recent projects, and to my great surprise, I found this wonderful photo on my camera...

Perhaps it was a ghost, or an accidental button press, but I like it none the less.

Here is Ronnie's hoodie. So far the back, front and 90% of the hood is done. Hoping to finish up the hood tonight and start on the sleeves this weekend.


It has been hard finishing his hoodie when there is this lil'guy. The yarn is ultra soft alpaca and I can't wait to wear it this fall.

Knitting Swap

I got the most amazing package for the "It's easy being green" swap.

Sea life is interesting, innit?

Buttons and Trench Coats

I have a pin collection from when I was a child.
Some of the buttons are funny.
I put a lot of buttons on a jean jacket and went to breakfast.
Here is a picture:

This man was wandering the streets downtown. He painted his coat himself.

Mental Block

For my last assignment in my drawing class we have to put together a six page concept package for a wedding design. I am totally stumped.

I would rather have korean barbeque right now!
