When I was little I was lucky enough to live in Africa, and coming face to face with these creatures makes you realise they are not a joke. They are beautiful. Elegant, gentle and soft. I have amazing memories of playing in Great Zimbabwe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Zimbabwe with my granddad running between the ruins and climbing as high as I could. Those days are full of desert and laughter for me.I don't know if it was the dust that made them seem golden in my mind, or some trick of memory. We also saw Victoria Falls http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Falls I just have a few memories of what it looked like. But when I shut my eyes I can remember the sound, like the whole earth was roaring. I am hoping to get the Instant Gratification part of the website done over the weekend. It will have a loads of super quick patterns. I will start with the elephant and hedgehog as well as a robin, I have almost finished. I have a long list of other things to include! See less

Making a cake is easy! When working with the pattern, you can adjust the size of the cake by adding or subtracting the number of rounds. For example, varying the top of the cake corresponds with the width and the side of the cake, the height. To fill a cake, start with a tulle circle or mesh. Place potpourri in the center, secure the net fabric with a rubber band, and stuff it in the cake - voilà, a cake sachet! All of my work is constructed from tight stitches and even tension. I only use the extolled Cotton Classic by Tahki Stacy Charles (sometimes organic cotton from a different brand) accompanied with a D/3.0 mm needle size. This 100% cotton yarn brings ease to every stitch and creates a smooth finish. Moreover, there is a vast array of vibrant colors to choose from. It is unparalleled yarn that brings its natural goodness, cotton, to any project. Although these patterns work with any type of yarn, I would recommend dropping down to a half or whole needle size. These patterns are... See less

These are frogs I designed for a mobile swap on Craftster.org. They are supposed to look realistic. As you can see, I made several different body sizes and feet.

Mauritius is an island in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Madagascar. In its isolation, many species developed that would be found nowhere else in the world – most famously, the Mauritius Dodo. Standing three feet high and unable to fly, how strange it must have looked to the sailors who discovered it! To Europeans it seemed stupid, a bird without the sense to run when humans came near and that laid its one, large egg on the ground without any precautions against predators. Of course, the dodo was not stupid. There were simply no predators on the island to guard against before the arrival of humans – and while the extinction of the dodo is often laid at the feet of hunters, numerous references to the disgusting taste of dodo meat make it unlikely that the dodo was hunted to its infamous extinction. At least – it wasn’t hunted down by humans, but by the creatures they brought with them. Rats, dogs, and pigs all contributed to the dodo’s doom by hunting their chicks or eating their... See less
