My aquarium

 Finally fish that will live and a tank that needs very little care if any at all. I know, it is not real, but for me that is okay.

they were fun to crochet and set up to "float". The cover has a few sea items and a turtle. 


The shells are from Rhode Island. They are the only ones I have from there.  the sea bottom is aquarium sand sprinkled with "pearls" and sea glass and shells from Bermuda. 

the Brother Alan and Lisa brought them back for me.  I added a string of tiny lights to give it a nice glow at night. I am still thinking the covering for the cover which for now is raffia. I think I will get some green raffia and try it.

Eventually I will catch you up on what i had been doing. Let's start with this cute owl. I made it for my


nephew Antonio. He loves owls because that is the picture that appears when he is talking to his Papa (Alan). 

 My niece Natalia asked for a poncho in her favorite color of purple. 
I made a flower broach and then 2 other broaches so she can change or pin them to anything else. Another project I have enjoyed making...more of them to come.

And now she asked for an afghan made from the same yarn , so that is a project in the making. I love making something special when asked. .... or just because.

Glad you stopped by today. My goal is to post at least every week or two. Thank you for your welcome back to my blogging and your kind words, Thank you for your friendship.

Gracie, your aquarium is the cutest thing ever! I need one like that, no cleaning to do. Being landlocked like we are, anything reminding us of the beach/ocean is a good thing! Love your handmades too. Keep cool and hydrated!

Your aquarium is awesome - just as pretty as a real one, but a lot less maintenance! Love that poncho too, the colour is gorgeous.
