Christmas is Almost Here...

Wow, it's really hard to believe, Christmas is almost here! It's cold outside, warm by the fire, frost on the ground, decorating, shopping for friends and family, giving, spreading the Christmas spirit, Christmas.

Mom's Christmas catcus is blooming!

My little brother and I outside in the cold. Brrrrr...My poor nutcracker... he falls apart every year. Poor thing can't crack nuts anymore. I still treasure him though.

Finger-Crocheted Scarf

I finger-crocheted a scarf!
HOW TO DO IT: Simple, use your finger instead of a crochet hook. (But, use thick yarn to finger-crochet or have bigger stitches in your scarf.)

Henry Matisse

I was studying Henry Matisse in school today. I found Icarus, a cut-out painting by Matisse. Its bright colors inspire me. I love it!
