Une de mes réalisations faite avec des clous dorés et de la ficelle de boucher.
One of my creations made with golden nails and butcher’s string.

Getting towards the end of the reel of string. I love the pattern of the winding and the way the strands cross so neatly
String of pearls (Senecio rowleyanus, sometimes sold as Curio rowleyanus) is a sought-after hanging succulent house plant. Its trailing stems have pea-like leaves that look like beads – hence its common name. In spring, the plant may produce small white, cinnamon-scented flowers.
In the wild, in west Africa, string of pearls sprawls over gravelly, rocky terrain. In the home, it looks lovely hanging from a shelf or planter – it's fast growing and the tendrils can reach 1m long. It's a good choice for beginner or lazy indoor gardeners – the 'beads' store water, so the plant can cope with a bit of neglect and only needs watering every couple of weeks.
All parts of the plant are mildly toxic if ingested, so keep away from children and pets.
I'm so happy with this one, despite the fact that I didn't end up making it as large as I wanted. I really love looking at all the different fabrics I was able to include. Blogged here.
Found these two exceptionally shaped potatoes yesterday at my greengrocers. Here an attempt of a photographical presentation, more to follow.

In a small backyard near the Gowanus Canal, thoughtfully decorated by a certain pixie-haired friend.
An exercise in simple madness. Like all the diverse individuals on this lovely planet. It is great that we are all so different and yet all on the same ball of string.
Afternoon sun hit the house cross the street, the reflection lights come through shrub in front of my house, creating opportunity for bokeh.
Loved the gorgeous colors of the lake water while doing a short hike near the Leigh-String Lake area in the Tetons.
These are the potholders that I made for my partner for Potholder Pass 3. I was inspired by the leaf mini quilt on the cover of Whip Up Mini Quilts. I paper pieced each half of the leaf as I would a string quilt and then stitched up the center, turned the edges and appliqued. And yes, I jumped onto the grommet bandwagon! (and no, that isn't my house--we have a run down barn that hasn't been fixed up yet and I think it makes for a neat background!)
