the challenge?

So, yes, I have been working on my personal challenge (see Amazingness ).  I have managed to make time to persue at least a couple items each week.  What I haven't managed to do is blog about them. =)

So I have almost finished a book that I started 5 months ago.  It's not even that long.  I just don't make a point of making time to read.  Until this last week.  =D

 If you haven't read Price and Prejudice and Zombies, you should.  I have been very surprised with how enjoyable it has been. 



I have been working on knitting a hipscarf.  No photos yet.  I made several attempts at crocheting it, but the yarn I have chosen makes me crazy when I try to crochet with it.   I have not decided what I will adorn the fringe with yet.  Hmmm....

What is a hipscarf, you say?  It's a scarf wrapped around the hips, often adorned with coins and or beads, most often worn by belly dancers.   As a belly dancer, you can never have enough bling! 

I have made a couple items in my kitchen that are brand new to me.  One was the muffins in the previous posts.  Seriously yummy!  They really do taste like doughnuts!  I even photographed one, as seen in the previous post.  So check one more thing off my challenge... playing around with photography.

I also combined a couple other items together and here are the results of that....

California Poppies... so pretty!

This one is my favorite!  I planted these for D, as they are one of his favorite flowers.  Behind them are my sunflowers which should make for amazing photos later.  =)

... And a few more photos to sign off with for today.
