Morning mist on the go picture (unmodified)

I tried taking a picture of the morning mist as my eldest drove the school run. In situations where I can’t ask the driver to pull over so I can compose a shot, I tend to aim, hope, and take as many frames as I can. The brilliance of digital is that I can then go back and delete anything not worth saving. Sometimes everything in a sequence gets dumped. But never have I seen a ghostly skull in the sky. I had to scroll back, a what? Not a cloud formation, not a ray of light. What is in my photo? I won’t keep you in suspense, this is not that kind of blog. It turns out the “skull” is the reflection of the back of my camera in the car window, with its evenly sized and spaced dual lenses. Still creepy.

Fiber on the brain

I may be a bit obsessed with spinning. My husband sent me an amazing sky picture, and my first thought is that it looked like fiber ready to spin!

Then I found an forest tent caterpillar on my planter (yes, it is a tire), and it looks like it has sheep marching down its back!

Perhaps I should go have a lay down, but first I’ll spin a bit.

Second Anniversary!

It is my second year anniversary on writing this blog! Hurray! I probably should have called it “Of Critters and Craft”, but the chickens are still clucking away, so we’re OK.

Happy Anniversary written in cotton yarn

Since the traditional second anniversary is celebrated with cotton, I grabbed some cotton yarn from my stash to form my banner. I used a small bowl of water to wet the yarn, then wrung it out, which made it easier to form the words (especially the pinched parts).

I’m still enjoying blogging, and hope my readers get some chuckles and maybe even some inspiration to do their own handcrafts. Here is to another year!

Um, you need to update your algorithm

On January 18, 2021 By CarynIn photography

My photo app very “helpfully” provided a look back on my food pictures. Except only one of those pictures is of something edible. I guess crafting messes with their algorithm. I never have been typical.
