Project 365 - Waves on the Shore Dishcloth

My yarn choice does not do this dishcloth justice! I have seen the same cloth done in other colorways, and it looks much better. I made a smaller version to use as a coaster, and it didn't turn out well either. :) I have not given up on this cloth yet!

Project 365 - Grandma's Favorite Dishcloth

This is the old standby "brainless" knitting pattern called Grandma's Favorite. It's a great one to do because it is easy to memorize and only involves the knit stitch. It's great for variegated yarns.

Project 365 - Birds

My older daughter and I went to Busch Gardens today, and she wanted to feed the birds. If you hold out a cup of nectar, several birds will come drink from the cup. These birds are either Lory birds or Lorikeets. I don't know how to tell the difference. :) We had a beautiful day, and I will post more pictures later.

Project 365 - Pencil Collection

I love to use and collect pencils. My favorite brand of pencils is Ticonderoga. I really love to collect pencils from places I have been and for various holidays such as Easter, Halloween, and Christmas. I prefer to write with a pencil instead of a pen, and I use them every day.

I also LOVE Bugs Bunny, and this mug is one of my favorites. The mug is the monster called Gossamer, and Bugs Bunny is hiding behind him on the mug. ;)

Project 365 - January Mid-Month Dishcloth

This dishcloth is called Cheyena and was the mid-January dishcloth for the knit-a-long (KAL) group I belong to. I did all 24 cloths for the year last year, but this year I am only doing the ones I love. :)

Project 365 - Crucifix

This crucifix hangs in our Catholic church right above the altar. I love the stained glass behind the altar, it's so pretty and the colors are so calming.

Project 365 - St. Francis

This statue of St. Francis stands outside our Catholic church. I love the fish by his feet. There are many stories about St. Francis regarding animals and fish.

Project 365 - Loft Beds

Our daughters have had loft beds in their bedrooms for sevral years, but now they feel that they have outgrown them. So, we took the loft beds apart and they now have "regular"beds. This is my older daughter's bed after she cleaned off the desk so we could take it apart. It is now in my craft room as a spare bed.
