Original Art by my Brother in Law

My brother in law, who I think is very talented, has started to sell his art on eBay.

Here is his first listing:

I'm so excited for him. He also carves.. he hand-carved a Unicorn for me years ago.. it's rearing on its backlegs. I'm trying to talk him into making me some hooks from trees on the family property.. not yet successful though. I can hope he's making me some for xmas.

Anyhow, he may have some other paintings up later, this is his first venture.

Here's to lots of success Bob!!!

P.S. He's since listed a few more.. here's a link to all of his offerings on eBay. http://tinyurl.com/kxwkf

FSU Blanket & Squirrel

I've had these made for a while, but couldn't post because my daughter hadn't received them yet.

Here's two views of the Butterfly Afghan made in FSU colors:








And here's her FSU Squirrel:






The squirrel was made out of scraps left over from the blanket.. plus some funfur (for the tail). The tail really does need a trim, but I'm leaving that decision up to her. It's twice as long as what the pattern said to make.

I got my first real amigurumi pattern book in the mail the other day. I found it by going to www.yesasia.com and then putting amigurumi in the search box. Price MUCH better than ebay.

Now to decide what to make.
