Sweet Baby Knits

This sweet sweater is darling in a 3 month old size. It's from baby Gap, I didn't knit it even though I wished I could have.

Frida Kahlo Snowman Sculpture Snow Art Painting

Frida Kahlo loved animals and birds like we do. A little girl made a Frida Kahlo Snowman or Snow Girl. She used shiny river rocks for her eyes and sticks for eyebrows and liner, a cranberry mouth (so cute) and she used some cranberry juice for her cheeks and a carrot for her nose. An apple for a red flower and she made Frida as a Tree! (You would remember I had started Frida as Tree series of paintings and I wanted to add some new ones.) The little girl is in my head and
is me as I haven't completely grown up.

Frida Snow Sculpture is also a great bird feeder and the wee girl has put apples on her "branches" for food and places for weary birds to rest. The blue birds love it.

We've only had spits of snow flurries every day. I can't wait for snow to try some snow sculptures!

Painting is 4 by 4-inches and for sale on etsy.

Hawaii Red Dirt Shirts

Not everyone gardens with soil or the bad word "dirt". A business was born from soiled shirts from Hurricane Iniki that hit kauai harsh in 1992. A mom and pop had a screen print business whose white shirts were stained red from all the rain and mud. They could not get the red out no matter how hard they tried. A friend suggested they finish them by adding more red mud so they would be evenly colored. The idea was a business success that all started on the beautiful island of Kauai!

There are stores in Arizona and on the islands of Hawaii. We visited their shop in Waikiki on Oahu. If you would like to order a shirt or cap of your own visit their website.
