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.
Found these two exceptionally shaped potatoes yesterday at my greengrocers. Here an attempt of a photographical presentation, more to follow.

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.
I never quite understood the reverse lever contraption of tuners. For Marcro Monday I thought it'd be interesting to pull in the texture of the copper strings with the stainless steel of Xanthe's guitar tuners. It also happened to be lying around the office and was a good subject for the day. :) #HMM

Afternoon sun hit the house cross the street, the reflection lights come through shrub in front of my house, creating opportunity for bokeh.
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!)
What makes one weak?
Why I ask this question so tactlessly? Simply because the perception of ones weaknesses can help a person to perform his goals and realize a cherished dream. The analogy is rather simple. If you know your strengths, you can easily figure out the areas of knowledge, where you feel yourself confident. You start having a chance to develop yourself. We often make our life choices paying attention to our strengths, for instance, when we choose career, take part in competitions, enter into argument with somebody etc. Your strength allow you to feel yourself a happy and successful person. It gives you a sense of full life. But, strength is always like that - forceful and convincing, but what about weak sides of character?
Weaknesses are also important. When you finally know your strength, take your time and analyze your weaknesses. It is the key for understanding and excepting yourself. Don't try to avoid the weaknesses of your character. Don't try to create a picture of omnipotent. Sooner or later they come into surface, usually in the most awkward situations, leading to a complete frustration. Don't try to limit your activity to only your strengths, let your weakness display. Analyze, make a plan on weaknesses liquidation.
As any human being I also have strong and weak sides of character. Among the weak one I would definitely name excessive sensitivity, mistrustfulness and a set of fears (oh, how one can go without them?). But having weakness doesn't mean being a weak man. The only thing that it means is the need of self-work.
Be honest with yourself. You can listen to the opinions of people, but you have to remember, no one knows you better that you yourself. The answer to the question 'what makes one weak' is pretty obvious. It is we ourselves, our idleness, reluctance to work and lack of self-faith.

these string blocks are so fun to make, after making the first one as a sample for the great white north bee, i'm completely addicted to them and can't stop making more myself.
Six musicians playing stringed instruments during a performance of the Tang Dynasty Cultural Show performed at the 'Tang Dynasty, Xi'an' theater and restaurant in Xi'an, Shaanxi, China. The Tang Dynasty ruled China from 618 - 690 AD and 705 - 907 AD from their capital Chang'an (present day Xi'an), during which the arts flourished.
I'm not sure bead stringing is the right hobby for the boys.

I have wanted to try paper piecing string blocks for some time. I also wanted to make a quilt for AmyLouWho's Amy Butler Challenge. . I needed a gender neutral quilt for the soon to be new baby of a good friend. It seemed like a perfect time to do all three. I loved the look of framing it in white. There are a lot of my favorite prints in there. Its a happy quilt, for sure.

Loved the gorgeous colors of the lake water while doing a short hike near the Leigh-String Lake area in the Tetons.
I finished the hexagons yesterday, so I made this guy for the third pillow form (the diamonds were a finished top and got ripped, I needed the linen!)
I thought this was really ugly when I finished it last night, but I'm liking it a bit more this morning.
String lights are an obsession with me, I can never get enough clicks of them.
I have lot more photos at this post, if you are interested have a look.
