Monster Learns to Ride a Bike Step 1

Found an old school Sears bike on the side of the road headed for the garbage truck.

Spring

Two butterflies posing on the top of a beaver decapitated tree on our walk along the river, for sure signs of spring.

Making Monday: Flowerbed

We placed logs around the outside of our flowerbed to help contain it. We will continue to post pictures as the growth continues.

Everyday Photos

Pretzel Fail

We tried making vegan chocolate covered pretzels, and failed pretty epically. The theory is that we let them cool for too long and they got stale that way, but we really don't know how they ended up so stale. If anyone has any suggestions we are all ears.

Making Monday: i-pod Cases

We crocheted i-pod cases to sell at ArtiCulture using remnant sock yarn, they are now all on sale, for your i-pod cozying needs.

Co-Op Adventure

We are going to an orientation to become volunteers/members at the Hampden Co-Op. The plan is to volunteer for 6 hours a month and get 21% off organic fruits, and vegetables, when we go grocery shopping. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, we'll see how it goes.

Veganism Take Two

We have embarked on Vegan month take two. We have been vegan for 14 days. Above is a photo of a pizza luce pizza that has half soy free vegan cheese, and the other has rinotta, which is a vegan house specialty. Split in half the other direction has one half of fresh veggies, all of which was very tasty. The vegan thing has been much harder to transition into so far, then vegetarianism. A positive thing that has come out of all this has been that certain food tastes even better then it did before, a little food for thought as vegan moth continues.

Making Monday: Hankies!

We have once been plagued with the colds of the children we work with. And so...

We made more hankies, to keep up with the demands of our noses!

Crocheting and Fruit

The school we work at was giving away some books from the library. This one looked appealing and I had heard good things.

Like everything one reads, so much of it ends up reflecting life. This book was no exception and just became more and more reflective, from death, to fruit, to crocheting, to compromising on our meanings of life.

Avocado - Palta

We are growing...


an avocado tree...in the winter...in Minnesota. One day, while riding the bus home from work, we missed our stop and ended up at the next one. At this stop, we found our roommate's brother. He gave us two avocados. One became guacamole. The other became an interesting toothpick induced balance in water. We shall inform you of the progress.

Making Monday: Earings

We have spent the weekend crocheting and knitting earrings to sell at ArtiCulture. We drop them off this Saturday if you are interested in checking them out.

Superhero

I am teaching a community education class after school on making things out of duct tape. The kids have begun making up their own creations and even showing other kids how to make them. This one is a superhero that can fly around the classroom when you throw it. I feel it is quite relevant to current situations.
