Tuesday, October 23rd, 2018Work in Progress–Mom Penny Memorial
Friday, September 14th, 2018The memorial piece will have a penny dated for each year of my mother’s life.
I have a stash of pennies, but did not have one for each year from 1930 to 2018. Found a coin shop in town that had reasonably priced pennies to complete the piece.
Interesting that 1943 is a steel penny.
Loom Knitting Pleated Pattern with Undyed Wool
Today will have completed 35 rows of 89 rows for the pennies. Will need to knit a bit more for overlap.
When the loom knitting is done, the pennies attached, and important years indicated, a box will be made of cedar as a home for the memorial piece.
Normally I would work all day to complete a project. But I have to limit my (repetitive) working time to five rows per day. I had surgery on my hand in June, with some working too much too soon complications. Developed scar tissue with extreme sensitivity. Still working to gain back finger strength and manual dexterity.
Dash enjoyed helping with my favorite desensitizing therapy.

Elliot and Random Quote
Friday, March 30th, 2018My husband set up his website to randomly pair photos with quotes.
Sometimes interesting pairings occur.
Elliot loves to shred fabric.
We have a concrete tube on the sofa hoping she will shred it instead of the sofa.
Found yesterday–
But notice the shredded paper, right side of the photo. So, sort of works.

Bunny Memorial Patina 5 February 2018
Bunny Memorial Patina Today
Patina Gone Crazy
Monday, February 5th, 2018
After a short time this occurred–
What was the patina used for? I strung together 3 kinds of shiny steel washers in code for a 3-bunny gravemarker.
This is what the washers looked like when they were removed from the solution.
And now as part of the grave marker–
Eventually the piece should become rustier, more aged, a bit more similar to the oxidized bunny marker.
This is another memorial for a bunny burial space.
Used the same washers to make the coded memorial piece. I suspect that they have oxidized because the area of the garden gets watered frequently and the little inlaid ceramic cup does not have a drainage hole.
How many bunnies do I have buried in my courtyard? Eight. That sounds like a lot of bunnies. Eight bunnies have lived with me during the past 25 years. My oldest bunny lived a long, but not long enough 13 years.
The simple rust promoter formula found online.
