Water Dog
She loves the water and is even drawn to a puddle. She's that type of Aussie who smiles when she's having a good time.

Sometimes, deep in the winter, when it snows and it freezes and it snows a little more, I grow a little weary of staring at snow. A few winters ago, we started making terrariums. It's instant summer, only in miniature.
This year, it's aquariums. We're on our third, a three gallon Eclipse, which I plunked down in my little office. So far, it's home to a piece of Mopani wood and a variety of low-light plants. Because of its small size, I won't put a fish in it, but maybe I'll look for a few shrimp. Even though there are no critters, it's nice to watch the plants grow in a constant 78 degree temperature.
My current project: Spa Wash Cloths from Weavezine. I'm using Hempathy as the warp, and 100% hemp yarn as the weft.
These two weekend splurges, I mean totally necessary purchases, were crafted by area weavers. Susan Johnson of Avalanche Looms (blog | shop) wove the gorgeous wrist warmers (no two alike!). The sock-baby-doll-in-a-nest (braided of vintage fabric) is made by Joanne Adragna Shird. Super adorable, must-haves for the season.
