Project 64, Week 14: Burnt Sienna...and My Sad, Sad Garden

Burnt Sienna is this weeks color for project 64....Which was far to easy to find in my garden....

This little guy sits on a fence post to greet all who enter...His arms are made to hold a peanut.  :)

 He was made by one of my favorite local artist Victoria....I tried to find a web page for her but couldn't do so...If our paths cross again, I will defiantly get her info so I can pass it on to all of you!!!

 I also found Burnt Sienna in the new leaves and buds on my Red Sargent Viburnum...Lovely.....

But now for the not so lovely you could say the "Bad and the Ugly"....

This winter did a number no all of my Hebe's...YIKES

This is a hedge I planted many years ago...I got the Hebe's at Rite Aid super cheap.  I was planing on making a water garden behind it his summer...but now I need to rethink the hedge too...



Can you find the crayon?

This one is in my front garden...I stuck the crayon amongst it's dead leaves...It blends in all to well!!  :(

Join the fun!






And of course....Thanks for visiting!

Just Off My Needles

OK....OK...The truth is I finished this hat in February ...but I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to share it with you ....and it is a GREAT HAT!!!..... Far to Awesome to just forget about!

 I have made this hat too many times to count...Well I probably could but, I'm far to tired to put that kind of energy forward....L-O-N-G day.  :)  To give you an idea though, if you look at the top of this page I'm wearing it in winter white and if you scroll down to the bottom I have a picture of Autumn in a green one....We do LOVE this hat!!!

The bobbles give it texture...(not to mention make it interesting to knit) and I love the way the crown kind-of swirls!!  Angel like it too!!

Sooo.....now for the details I knit this one out of a wonderful Alpaca yarn and the pattern came out of my VERY FAVORITE HAT BOOK.  I have knit six of the patterns out of this book and loaned it out to many friends...most of them have ended up buying the book for themselves...It's that good!!!

Just in case it's hard to read from the picture (some of us are getting old ya know)  The book is Hip Knit Hats by Cathy Carron.

Both these sites are full of great ideas....Join the fun!!!

Project 64, Week 13: Spring Green

The Crayon color this week for Project 64 is Spring Green....and what could be more Springy or Green than a Spring Peeper???  OK..I know I've used pictures of frogs before...but the name of my blog is Spittin Toad after all.  :)

 I have always loved these little creatures...Salamanders too!!  When I stumble across one I still have the urge to catch and just hold it in my hand.....

I'm afraid there is no hope of out growing it...I am 50 ya know.  :)

The sound of frogs croaking on a spring night is music to my ears...After hearing a loud c-r-o-a-k on my patio I spotted these "little guys" in a small water garden ....last year a frog laid eggs in it....the tadpoles were so fun to watch grow... I wonder if either of these are the same frog..or maybe a returning baby?



                           Now hop to it (I know that's bad but I couldn't help it) and join the fun!!!

And don't forget to say Hi!!

Project 64, Week 12: Tickle Me Pink

Spring is slowly arriving on my little farm and this weeks color for Projects 64...Tickle Me Pink was such a pleasure to look for!!   I headed strait out to my garden....which always makes me smile....in fact you could say I was "tickled" to do so!!  :)

Anyway I found a Plethora of Pink....



Pink Primroses

This shot of my Primroses is my favorite...I love the little white edging around each petal....Of course I edited it (along with the rest of my photos) on Picnik ...I am so happy I found that web sight...it's easy to use and has made a huge difference in my photos!!!  I give it 3 happy faces!!  ;) :) :-)

 Here is and example of what one can do...pretty good...huh..OK for all you pros this is probably no big deal...but to me (with my very old camera) it's simply AMAZING!

 Of course so is my Flowering Current...The hummingbirds (or as we like to call them the hummers) just LOVE this plant!!


Another close up of my Current



Here is a picture of my Daphne...It's not a fabulous looking plant...but the flowers are Oh So Fragrant... I have one planted by my front door.

Join the fun and see what others have posted!!
