Little mohawks everywhere

Or, We Finally Cut the Grass. It was up to mid-calf, after all. Now it looks like we're about to bale it. What a mess.

The Frog Pirate


This is something I did this weekend. It's going in the yarn ball for calico13, who may or may not see this post. If so, don't worry — this is only a taste of the wonderment you'll unwrap ...



Speaking of crafty, this Friday is my first Craftster-versary. Speaking of crafty, the roommates and I broke out the acrylics and brushes and did up a window in the newly-arranged living room.

The theme was a rainbow (no surprise there). We divided the six colors among five panels thusly: red-orange, orange-yellow, yellow-green, green-blue, blue-purple. I did the first panel and the trinity symbols in the center. The roommates worked on the rest.

Stained glass


That's the view from the inside this morning, without lights on. It looks very nice at night from the outside, with light shining through. Very colorful and festive. The best part is that it's not permanent, so when we're tired of it in a month, we can scrub it off and start anew. But first we're going to paint the kitchen windows, and the front door. We're thinking Harry Potter-themed crests — each house gets its own window, and the Hogwarts crest itself gets the front door.

ETA: It seems that someone in our (other) office is quitting this week, which means I may get a raise(!) or more hours(!) soon. I hope I don't have to learn to do the books ...
