Yarn Bombing Video

Saw this on a tweet and knew I wanted to share, so here it is:

Red Moon, Roasted Peep and Bluebonnets

Yes I know that's a weird title, but it's what I've got!


I understand that our red moon a few nights ago was due to the wildfires burning in Texas. Something about smoke and particles and reflections or not of the whatever and making it appear red. (Yep, I know that is a bad description) We've had terribly windy weather lately. It even toppled half of a tree on our roof and fence requiring an ER visit when trying to get it removed. Long story.


Boredom and peeps make you do strange things. Besides, we'd read about it online and decided to poke a Peep bunny on a chopstick and roast it with our grill lighter. It tasted better than expected!


A short trip down the highway 2 days ago to look at wildflowers. Bluebonnets weren't as plentiful as they were last year. Was nice weather though....sunny and not too breezy. Got a slight sunburn but it was worth it. Great motorcycle weather!

Yarn Bombed Schwinn

Sounds odd yes? First, check out what it means if you don't know here and many graphic examples here.
My bike (Schwinn Legacy Cruiser) is done entirely with leftover stash yarn and crocheted by hand. Mostly done in sections and fitted and attached afterwards. The seat was the first thing done, then it just took off from there. I suppose some might say that this is not a true "bombing" in the sense that it was done to beautiful something plain such as a drab landscape like it's usually done. Honestly it was done out of boredom and me saying "I can do that!" and so I did. Will I ride it like this? You betcha! As soon as my aching back eases up.
Thanks for looking and each image will open up quite a bit larger if you choose to click on it. That's all for now.








Yarn Bombing: The Book

Magically Delicious?

I think not. Anyhow, Happy St. Pat's Day to everyone!

May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.

I've Created a Monster!

This was done without a pattern, yay me! I was looking through the patterns and diagrams I had collected and decided to just wing it and came up with this crazy little guy. He is only 4 and a half inches tall.

UPDATE: This handsome little guy has permanently attached itself to my Schwinn bicycle handles and become my "hood ornament" in my ongoing process of yarn bombing it. Photos to come soon...

Just cuz it's cute and funny...

New Granddaughter Today!

Born today in Austin Texas this afternoon. She is 3 lbs. 7 oz. and is a whole 16 inches tall!

Jest for fun!

Made with Red Heart Stripes yarn in Cancun Stripe, added large blue jingle bells, and used the FREE PATTERN HERE! Just the thing for Christmas time to wear on a Harley or at work, right? Oh, and this pattern is done entirely in single crochet, very easy really, but a lot of counting stitches when you do the points.

Twins 28th Birthday!

Ten days ago, my twins had a birthday. Imagine how old that makes me feel, yet grateful that we have such great kids who are turning into wonderful adults! If this photo looks odd, it's because I had to Photoshop the two of them together, due to conflicting schedules (KIDS), so I had them pose on opposite sides of the sofa and then "stitched" them together. Happy Birthday Joshie and Boo!

How It Really Gets Done

Whadya think? She uses a Q Hook for speedy crocheting. Everyone should have a Crochet Elf!

It's Official

Yep, we're Aggie Parents for sure now! Howdy yall and Gig 'Em Aggies!
