Winter Watercolor

The Old Tree

A lovely small watercolor painting.  A winter scene with a burst of setting sunshine behind the big old tree on a chilly winter day.

Stay warm!

Monday Morning Lamby

One should not leave their newly needle felted project on the living room coffee table if you have a playful cat.

Scooter kitty decided Lamby was a fun new friend for him to play with.  Poor Lamby.  He even ended up with a tuft of red wool from our living room carpet on the top of his head from his adventures with Scooter.

I placed Lamby back on the foam needle felting cushion and kept him on the corner of my desk.  In between emails, bookkeeping, design work and waiting for customers to get back to me, I was able to needle felt Lamby back to beautiful cuteness.

For now ... Lamby lives on my desk ...

Little Lamby

The second DIY kit I purchased was a needle felting kit to create a sheep from BearCreekDesigns on Etsy.

I decided I wanted to give needle felting a try.  This DIY Kit was perfect for a beginner like me.  I began creating the body and the head while watching a movie on DVD on Saturday night.

By Sunday afternoon, I had this adorable little Lamby!  He's so cute.  Needle felting was not as difficult as I thought it would be and I really enjoyed creating this little fellow.

Homemade Cheese

Yes, Fresh Homemade Mozzarella!

I splurged on two DIY Kits I found on Etsy.  Kind of as little birthday presents for me from my darling little furry friends.  I ordered them earlier in the week and both arrived by the end of the week.

I found a DIY Mozzarella Kit from UrbanCheesecraft on Etsy.

This afternoon Michael and I made our first batch of homemade mozzarella cheese.  It was so much fun and very easy to do too!  Cheese in an hour.

We made two blobs of cheese, I made mine plain and Michael added dried oregano to his.  They both turned out great.  We ate some as hors d'oeuvres and shredded some on top of homemade pizzas.   The kit comes with enough stuff to make 10 batches.  Just add your own milk.
