What do you see in the clouds?

Lucy: "If you use your imagination, you can see lots of things in the cloud formations... what do you see Linus?"

Linus: "Well, those clouds up there look to me like the map of the British Honduras on the Caribbean... that cloud up there looks a little like the profile of Thomas Eakins, the famous painter and sculptor... and that group of clouds over there gives me the impression of the Stoning of Stephen... I can see the Apostle Paul standing there to one side..."

Lucy: "Uh huh... that's very good... what do YOU see in the clouds Charlie Brown?"

Charlie Brown: "Well... I was going to say I saw a ducky and a horsie, but I changed my mind!"

My twin and a craft project that will take you less than 10 minutes

My friend Kate found this picture of "me"...my twin (at least in the face when I look like death). It is kinda scary but funny enough for me to put on here. I mean if you imagine bangs and my hair being down, along with a little more eye makeup and my eyelashes curled, I think you could see the correlation.

Also, I must say this blog post is entirely dedicated to my dear friend Kate, who has an amazing blog by the way. Check it out here to see what I am talking about: http://katewestby.blogspot.com (again, my apologies for not crafting this so you can click on the link, but for some reason my link bar will not publish it!) Grrr...


Anyway... why I reference Kate's blog is because today I was in need of something to do before class other than homework or chores and Kate's scarfy-necklace thang was chillaxing there in cyberspace, and I had all the ingredients here and did in like 10 minutes, maybe less which is great for the busy-body.

Here is the photo of my rendition of the necklace per Kate's instructions:




All you need is a scarf (like the hankerchief type) or just some fabric, and then some big ol' beads. The directions that I grabbed were from Kate's blog, and they work like clockwork. You take the cut-fabric and tie a knot 6 inches in, add a bead in it, then twist and knot and then add another bead in it and twist and knot, etc. etc. For more detailed directions again, please see kate's piece. I am not going to reinvent the wheel here. But I am going to use the remainder of the fabric from the scarf to make a bracelet :)

Thanks Kate!

The world's largest gummy bear

Feeling like I need to post something lighter (though not speaking calories here), before I go outside.

Enjoy.

Do you like gummy bears?
