Dinosaur felt board

I glued the base felt to a tri-fold greeting card. The dinosaurs I just free-handed, but there are tons of patterns if you google “dinosaur shapes.”

I hope this is fun for more than 6 minutes in the car. I’ll let you know.

The map is of our yard. The rest are leftovers from a birthday party. I am sealing them in an envelope.

That was supposed to be a shamrock, but she ran out of hair. She (and Jude, who is on the other side of her) both got gold glitter hair paint.

Tuesday Tally – Week 3

hope — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 01:55:21 +0000

I got my seven done – plus an extra! I really like the one in the upper left-hand corner with the red, orange and green.

Here is the whole pile.

I’m a little disappointed that there are 2 shades of yellow and 2 shades of purple that kind of disappear into each other. For example, that all yellow one (bottom right-hand corner) is really 2 colors. Ah well.

My question for you – What color should I use to join with? I just can’t decide. I’m thinking maybe one of the greens or the red. I really like all three of those colors. Ah, but the blue is nice, too. Opinions?

Falling off is the best part. I took a couple videos and all he wanted to do was fall over backwards. The insanely barking dog is Quinn.

Tuesday Tally – Week 2

hope — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 02:11:39 +0000

My goal for this week was to have 34 squares done. I really didn’t think that I was going to make it because the big square took SO LONG to get done. I mean, it is obviously going to take longer to go around when a square is bigger, but I didn’t think I was ever going to get that baby done.

Surprise, surprise, I do have 34 now, though. I focused on lots of wee baby ones. Ok, six, but I met my goal.

My goal for next week is have 41 done.

My American Idol Top 13

hope — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 03:43:14 +0000

Ok, so my understanding is that there will be a top 13 picked tomorrow. They mentioned something about America picking 5 boys, so my guess is that we will pick 5 girls and 5 guys and then the judges will save the remaining 3 to make up a top 13.

It’s always tough to do my picks on who I really think will stay and not who I want to stay. Here are my picks and my notes.

The boys

The Girls

If you want to get in on the selections, the google doc is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Atvjpkhz8UMQdEYzdTlFMG9xVXNkN3ppcVZBX0VfdHc Just add a column and play along.

My First Tuesday Tally

hope — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 02:53:09 +0000

I found this group through Pinterest ( Gingerbread Girl ) and through the ravelry group “One a Day.” The gist is that you are supposed to do one square, one row, one whatever a day. On Tuesdays you upload a photo of your progress. This is my first Tuesday.

I have 27 squares of my babette finished. The unfinished one at the top will be one of the 2 with 12 rounds. There are around 6 1/2 done on that one right now.

I am not attaching them together as a go because I think I may want to do a little hand-picking of colors to balance it out. I’m seeing a lot of yellow right now, so I may watch to make that it doesn’t become overwhelming. There is also lots of orange, but I like that. I want to beef up the greens a bit. I’m not changing the pattern (yet) to achieve this. I will just pick squares that will accomplish the look that I want and keep making those and reassessing as I go. Once I get to the end, I may make some “custom” squares to accomplish a look.

My goal is to have 34 by next week.

How has your week been?
