Full moon

Last night there was a full moon. I had To take a picture because it was so pretty. I need a tripod because I wasn't

holding very still so now it looks like the moon is a weird shape. The picture doesn't do it justice it was really a lot prettier in real life. I just thought I would share it with you.

This is part of the willow tree out our back door.

weekend project

So I was supposed to go with DH to colorado to deliver a load of hay. I searched and searched for a project so my hands could be busy on the way. Then the weather was bad so we didn't go. But I finished my project any. And I wanted to share it with you. These are called chunky slippers. The first slipper I made is the right one and it is bigger than the first one. I think I missed a step on this one. But the second one is the left one and it fits better and looks a little better. I did all the steps on this one so it is the way it is supposed to look. This project was fun. I have been wanting to use this yarn for something, and I have been wanting to slippers. So now I have some awesome chunky slippers.
So on monday DH and I went to park city and He got his wisdom teeth out. It was really fast. I had another project I took and was expecting to get really far on it but. We weren't there for very long so I wasn't able to do much on it. I will share this project another day. So now I am off to finish dishes and Laundry. Wish me luck! :)

finished project

I have been wanting to make one of these since I saw it on chars blog. So I will tell you how I did it. I drew the pattern on the board then took it out to my handy dandy saw. I am not the greatest sawer so the sides are the same, but I guess it makes it that much more primitive. Anyway after cutting it out I sanded it, then I painted it black. Then I painted it a light blue on top of the black.Then after it dried I sanded it alll over and made it look really distressed.
Then I took my walnut stain and I slobbered it all over it. Then I wiped it off. It is a big mess so make sure you wear gloves. Then I pounded square nails.(cementnails) in
Then I hung it on the wall and put my candles on it. It looks really light in the picture but it is darker . I am quite proud of myself I did this project without any help from Dh. I even drilled the hole by myself.(I am not real great with a drill)

After I took the picture I found another candle. So I have five candles now. These candles are hand dipped by me.

Have a great day.
