You can never say that I dress my pets funny. Not after seeing this adorable picture.

Not my Farm, Not my lamb, not my crochet.

Nobody comes here just to crochet

It all started with one woman sitting in the corner with her crochet.

Crochet Stair Risers on the web

Once Again...not my work. I was surfing the web and through my emails and ran across a post on one of my crochet groups sending me to this link.

Who would think to crochet stair risers?
I could be dangerous if I had free time.

Planning stages of my rain barrel




I am so excited. Tamara and I have made plans to work on our rain barrels this weekend. So of course I am doing my research. I ran across this web link. http://www.squidoo.com/rain-barrel




Did you know A 55 gallon rain barrel will only hold 1/2 inch of rain water from a 160 square foot roof?


Why Use A Rain Barrel And Collect Rain Water?

1. A rain barrel will lower your water bills and save you money.

2. A rain barrel will help reduce the demand on the local water supply.

3. During the peak summer months a rain barrel can collect about 1,300 gallons of water, depending on where you live.

4. Rain barrels capture and keep water that can be used later. It is an efficient way to use a free resource.

5. Rain barrels help reduce erosion, storm water flow, pollution and flooding.

6. Rain water is naturally soft and oxygenated with more acidic than tap water. It doesn't have any chlorine, calcium or lime.

7. Watering plants, washing cars and doing household chores is an ideal way to use rain water.

8. Rain barrels aren't expensive.

9. They are easy to make and install.
Now, I am ready to sketch out some art for my barrel.
