Cirque Italia...Water Circus

It wasn't on our Bucket List but I sure am glad we heard about it.
Under a circus tent, this is a fun show of acrobatics, juggling, stunts, music and dancing...
 it does not feature any animals.
This Cirque show is the largest traveling show in the US and Canada,
parts of the show were performed over water stages.

Being A Maker...II

 I have mentioned in a previous post that I am a "Maker"...I like to make and create artful things.
I recently talked about making a new creation...while 
is not a new craft for me, it has been a while since I have made anything with this technique.
I started this Alpaca Needle Punch kit about one week ago, and although it looks like it would take a while, it didn't.
I worked on it every night as I watched television.

The wildflowers are from my garden.

I started another Honey Cowl infinity scarf by Madeline Tosh.
The pattern is free on Raverly.
This yarn was in my stash so I do not remember it's name!

These stitches, done in the right order, creates a thick waffle-like pattern.
My little Blue Jay stitch maker 
was given to me by my good friend JustJoan, she gifted me 10,
 all different birds and I love them.

Thank you my friend!
